I am writing regarding a billing notice I received after my 17-year-old cat’s diagnostic visit. I am extremely concerned that the medication prescribed afterward made his condition much worse. Shortly after administering the medication, he began experiencing severe vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and extreme lethargy. Given these symptoms, it is clear the treatment was harmful rather than helpful at the point that I was about to lay him down seeing how quick his health worsened after the visit to the Banfield hospital.
I have reason to suspect there may have been an error with the medication provided, as my cat’s condition deteriorated instead of improving. As a result of these adverse effects, I do not feel it is fair to ask me to pay any additional out-of-pocket costs under these circumstances. I respectfully request that a waived of charge in light of the harm caused.
But however they still want me to pay for NOT TAKING CARE OF MY BABY and I don't want to be throwing my money like that for no reason. I had to take my cat somewhere else and immediately he stared recovering after that visit and the how they treated him during the appointment was VERY DIFFERENT and better than they did on Banfield.
NEVER TAKE YOUR PETS TO THIS LOCATION!

They left my cat for more than 7 hours there on a drop-off appointment without food and water, did not make him anything more than making him feel worst, sending incorrect medication and selling me an "Optimus Wellness" Plan. Selling and sign contracts TO PAY is upon patients wellbeing.
On Wednesday, December 10th I scheduled a drop-off appointment at 10:30am for my cat because he was not eating well and he stared to see weak, the front Desk girl told me it usually takes from 1 to 2 hours so I dropped him off and they left my cat there for 7 hours and did not give him even water, the medicine they sent for him was making his health condition worst and when I called TWICE asking for help and if I can give him an Apetite Stimulant they never called back until the next day afternoon.
The many times I was asking them "Why my cat is not eating properly?" They just said "he is good, there's nothing to worry about" and as long as I picked him up he was worst: not eating and barely walking. That is negligence, I am not asking for a refund, but I refuse to pay for a plan where they just showed interest in selling and NOT caring about patients when, since the first moment I asked for honesty. BUT THEY JUST LIKE TO CHARGE PEOPLE FOR DOING ANYTHING.

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?
Optimum Wellness Plans are designed to provide annual preventive care. They include head-to-tail exams, vaccines, early screening diagnostics, consultations for proper nutrition, dental care and more!

You can spread the cost of your wellness plan across the 12 months of your annual agreement to make it easier to budget for the essential health care your pet needs. Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll. We also offer the option of paying in full if you prefer.
What kind of appointment do I have?
• In-room appointments: You and your pet visit the vet together. Please arrive a few minutes before your appointment time
• Drop-off appointments: If you have a drop-off appointment, we will communicate a time to drop off your pet. Keep your phone nearby and we’ll call you when your pet is ready for pickup.
