  Uncompassionate cash grab. After spending $3k and finding out my dog has terminal cancer and was given "weeks or months" left to live, the choice was made to keep her comfortable until she passes, she is out of pain meds and VSCOT is refusing to refill her prescription until she has another checkup, our vet cant get her in till 3 weeks from now. The other option is go back to VSCOT to get another full lab workup to get her prescription filled sooner. The customer service is horrendous, they are rude on the phone and dont give a crap. Will be taking my animals to another ER in the future, regardless of the drive.

  I came here about a week ago with my dog Mama. She was not doing very well at all and the employees there from the front desk to the doctor and helpers were phenomenal. I had to return a few days later because I knew my dog was not going to pull through so they have me painkillers in that time to help her until we had to make that difficult decision. On the evening of her euthanasia the entire staff was very empathetic and understanding. I can’t give this place more than 5 stars or I would. The only place I’ll bring my pets in the future. Thank you for giving us a way to say goodbye.

  When the normal Vet was not available for my BF’s Mother’s declining pitbull, a beloved family protector, we were recommended (& remembered we visited before) this clinic. All the staff working on Feb 9th were professional and compassionate. Especially when I accidentally overreacted while carrying our big girl.(I will never be apologetic enough for that.) Explanations were detailed and understandable. Options were given and discussed in that same manner. Even though we ultimately lost our battle with our protector, we were given the time and empathy needed to process this experience. With that said and done, I have no qualms in recommending this clinic.

  This was the worst experience I’ve EVER had at a veterinarian/hospital. I took my cat in on a Saturday due to urinary issues, straining to pee, decreased urinary output, and he seemed uncomfortable. Worried about blockage that is fatal to cats. I arrived at 1145 am. I was triaged quickly and he was brought back out to me in the waiting area. I wish I would have left at that point and called our veterinarian Pusche Ridge Pet Clinic, who are amazing btw, had I known it wasn’t emergent. My cat is NOT friendly and just getting him there was traumatic for him. I decided to wait to be seen by the veterinarian since we were already there. They called us into a room at 215 pm. She came in and examined him and told me the tests she’d like to run. She told me to go grab a coffee or a bite to eat that it would be 30 minutes but 2 hours for his X-rays to be read by radiologist. She apologized for the wait, which I am an RN that works in a hospital, so I totally get it. i understand emergencies do happen. I was told I would be called, but never was, and returned at 415. The front desk said they told them I was back and I waited in the lobby expecting them to call me back and get my cat. Finally at 515, I went back up to the desk asking what the status was. Front desk went into back again, and said they were still waiting for radiology to read, telling me it could be another hour and that they would call me. I decided to go home to feed my family. At 6:30 still nothing, I called them and was placed on hold for “the back” for 30 minutes. At that time I was told by the tech “X-rays were just being done because kitty just wasn’t having it and they were sedating him. They will be ready in an hour.” Mind you, I was told they were completed at 4:15 by the front. I called them again at 8pm. They told me he would be ready to go by 9. I waited. And waited. And waited. Checking out they said what a “sweetie” he was, at this point I knew they were lying. My cat is NOT a “sweetie”, never has been. I didn’t get home with my cat until after midnight! Not only am I out $1500 dollars, but I have NEVER experienced anything as HORRIBLE as my experience with this place. PLEASE go elsewhere!

  Dr Ash Chirco and the whole staff treated us and our dying beloved dog Goldie with compassion and respect. Dr Chirco was patient with us and explained everything we wanted to know and more.I don't think we could have picked a better place for Goldie to spend her last hours. Thank you Veterary Specially Center for your kindness in our difficult time. Ernest & Maryann
