I took my 14-year old yorkie because she had an eye infection. My wife and I spent about an hour inside a small room waiting for the vet. A kind and helpful assistant showed up, she took our dog away, and brought it back indicating that we could go home. When I asked about the doctor, and my dog's eye infection, the assitant told me that the doctor told her that I should come back when her eye is "really nasty."
Needless to say, it was the worst experience I have ever had with a veterinarian, ever! Dr. Alyssa Nicole Becker (the one who signed the rabbis shot) never showed her face to us, to even say hi, how are you, what can I do for you. They took our dog out of sight, and the "doctor" never had the decency talk to us. Since I did not sign up for pricey services, I suppose we were not good enough for her to see us. It was an denigrating, unacceptable, unexcusable, and certainly unethical behavior.
It is a shame for Banfield Pet Hospital to allow such poor treatment to its clients.

I absolutely love the staff that took care of my baby Rose! We had been going thru some hard times and had fallen behind on her care. The staff ensured me that I was doing the right thing getting her back on track and took care of her initial visit and shaved her down for me because she gotten matted. I will def be back and continue my fur baby care with this team. My family and I are more than. Grateful for their empathy and understanding. Thank you thank you THANK YOU
