  This review has been a few years too late but I feel it could be useful to others considering this clinic. Years ago my small dog was displaying signs of what I should of known was a virus or bacterial infection of some sort (no appetite, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, low temperature) something that most dogs will experience from time to time, but being emotionally vulnerable, I was convinced to have him operated on not once, but twice. The first operation was to check if he had eaten something that was blocking his intestines which turned up nothing, the second time was to take a biopsy of his pancreas. When these procedures revealed no clear answers I was talked into an ultrasound. He had also been staying at the clinic overnight and needed to be transferred to another emerg clinic during the weekend when they were closed. I was so distraught and at my wits end both financially and emotionally (I was at this point over 7K in the hole after ONE week). Finally after what I am assuming was their realisation that they had sucked as much money out of me as possible and having me sobbing over the possible decision to put him down, they decided to try the most logical (in hindsight) treatment of a combination of antibiotics, which in turn saved his life. I´m convinced they figured they would make more money from me in the long run by keeping him alive for future check-ups, immunisations etc as opposed to letting me put him to sleep. At the time I was just thankful to have him alive, but something didn´t quite sit right as usually antibiotics or anti-viral medications are the go-to first line treatment in humans because it´s the cheapest and less complicated approach. I feel as though I was talked into an operation immediately without playing around with medications first to address his symptoms. I have full respect for vets and how tough of a job it must be - I am not a vet myself, so I truly have very little perspective to go on - but the more I talked to people who had been to this clinic, the more horror stories I heard and came to my own conclusion that I was taken for a very expensive ride. After moving to another city and dealing with another vet, I realise what good, honest service entails. Please go somewhere else, as I feel like this clinic only preys upon desperate naive customers.
