  I can't schedule an appointment for my dog got her check up for her seizure meds and before her prescription gets refilled that has to happen. they make you call at 10 am go see if you can get in same day which doesn't work for someone who has a job. same with the Saturdays the parking lot was full. I called and spoke with Leslie and asked to have dr give me a call and her words were I doubt she will do that. well Leslie called me in the evening and said she talked to dr fielding and she isn't going to call..I said I will take my business elsewhere.this is so unacceptable and unfortunate because they used to be a better business.

  I am beyond disappointed with how my cat’s final weeks and euthanasia were handled. This was not a simple situation where rabies suddenly became a concern at the very end. About two months ago, I brought my cat in because he had recurring upper respiratory infections that kept coming back. He continued getting sicker and sicker. At that appointment, the possibility of tumors was already brought up, including the possibility of a tumor in his face/head. His bloodwork came back surprisingly clean, and I was told that a brain tumor was a possibility, while rabies was considered unlikely enough at the time that I was told they didn’t think testing would even be necessary. Fast-forward to his euthanasia appointment. By then, I had already arranged his cremation through Loving Paws, and part of that had already been paid for. I came in expecting to say goodbye to my cat and follow through with the arrangements I had already made. Instead, I was suddenly told that because of the concern for rabies, he had to be sent for rabies testing. I understand that veterinary professionals have to take rabies seriously when there is a legitimate concern. That is not what I’m upset about. What I am upset about is how poorly this entire situation was communicated and handled, especially given the previous discussion about a possible brain tumor. During the euthanasia process, paperwork was brought in with communal cremation already selected. I questioned it and was extremely clear that I wanted keepsakes from my cat. I was barely allowed to get an ink paw print and was not allowed to have any fur. I was subsequently told that I had authorized communal cremation because my initials were on the paperwork. My recollection is that communal cremation had already been selected on the paperwork when it was presented to me, and I did not knowingly choose to permanently give up the option of receiving my cat’s remains. Then the rabies test came back NEGATIVE. The final answer was a brain tumor — something that had already been discussed as a possibility months earlier. So after all of this, my cat was treated as a potential rabies case, his remains were handled in a way that prevented me from getting the keepsakes I wanted, and I am now being told I authorized communal cremation when I dispute that I knowingly did so. This entire experience has been an absolute shit show during one of the worst moments of my life. I am not upset that precautions were taken for rabies. I am upset about the lack of clear communication, the sudden change in plans after I had already arranged cremation, the way the paperwork was handled, and how little consideration was given to my wishes regarding my cat’s remains. When someone is bringing their beloved animal in for euthanasia, they are already experiencing an incredibly painful situation. They should not have to fight to get a paw print, be denied fur, have cremation arrangements suddenly changed, and then afterward be told they supposedly authorized something they did not understand they were authorizing. I sincerely hope this clinic changes how it communicates with grieving owners in situations involving suspected rabies and end-of-life care. People deserve clear explanations and informed choices — especially when the decision involves something that can never be undone.

  I am writing this review due to my experience with Rachel in reception at hunter vet clinic only… all the vets Dr. shrag Mr. And Mrs. Dr. Fielding and the few vet techs and other receptionists I’ve spoken to are amazing …Rachel however is rude, condescending, interrupts, doesn’t listen and is out right just awful. I’m unsure with the amount of one star reviews. I have seen complaining about her why she still has a job in this establishment or has not had extensive extra training due to the fact that she is incredibly rude! There have been many times where I have had to talk to her to get a message to one of the doctors that I am seeing, The majority of the time the message is relayed incorrectly so then I am getting incorrect information back. I have had to make actual vet appointments to go speak to the Vet about questions I have due to the fact that she does not listen. Every time I have been into the vet and seen her behind the counter, she has been rude, Her tone, Her body language, The way that she looks at you, I absolutely love, Hunter Vet, But sadly, I will be looking for Vet care elsewhere because I cannot continue Dealing with a place who employ somebody at their front desk who acts this way to people! Even asking a simple question she makes you feel stupid. I would call upon Dr. Shrag To look into the way that Rachel speaks to people and deals with people and get her extensive training or tell her that she needs to find a job elsewhere because you are going to continually lose clients due to the fact that your receptionist is absolutely horrible To people I want nothing more than to stay with this veterinary clinic. I have been with them for many years, but because of Rachel, I will be leaving. If I could leave a zero star review because of Rachel, I would

  Their scheduling flexibility is really bad even if you ask to schedule further out.

  I’m very disappointed with my experience at Hunter Veterinary Clinic. I had to cancel my dog’s appointment and gave them a full day’s notice, yet I was told that going forward I would be required to pay a deposit for appointments. I understand that veterinary clinics have policies regarding missed appointments and last-minute cancellations, but I feel that giving a full days notice should be considered reasonable and should not result in being penalized with a deposit requirement. I’ve already spent a significant amount of money on my dog’s veterinary care here over the years, so being told I now have to pay deposits simply because I needed to cancel an appointment with a day’s notice was frustrating and felt unnecessarily punitive. I expected more understanding and flexibility from a veterinary clinic, especially when I made the effort to provide advance notice. Unfortunately, this experience has left me questioning whether I want to continue bringing my dog here.
