Exam Immunizations

Not so good. I took my pet here twice. The first time the vet tech didn't even know what kind of breed it was and when I told him he said he never heard of it...which is weird. The vet was nice. She was pregnant though so had me do all the lifting of the dog which was fine. I did not feel that the exam was very thorough because when I mentioned my dog's privates looked swollen and she was licking them a lot...she didn't even look at it and said it was probably just cleaning it. Even sitll, I decided to give them one more try. I took my pet back in for shots and they do not let you even go back in room. They take the pet while you wait in room and you don't see what they do or if they in fact do anything. Also, it was fairly expensive compared to other offices. Which unfortunately I didn't find out til later. The worst part was though that the vet tech said my 4 month old LARGE breed dog was in heat. I said that I thought maybe it was something else as it had been going on for a while but she insisted it was from being in heat. About a week later my pet hurt it's paw and I decided to go to another vet who noticed the swollen ****** and ran test and she had a bad UTI which had been there a while. So, will not go back.

They seem to be quite nice. They care about the pets.

My rat terrier Pixie had an ear infection. Took her in to have it examined and treated.

Plaza Pet Clinic found me an appointment the next day with their group. I took my dog Pixie in to have an ear infection examined and treated and Dr Albert T Cartwright, JR did just that. He told me that it was just an ordinary ear infection, not severe and that he would treat it with antibiotics by injection , orally and with another pill in case it was a yeast ear infection. In the exam room he showed me a piece of paper that had a total price of $155.00 . I agreed with that amount to him. When I went to pay the attendant the bill was $230.00. The attendant told me that the amount was correct and that the cost of the prescriptions were added on. I paid the $230.00 but was a little miffed by the increase in cost. I gave Pixie her medication as scheduled throughout the next week and she still is acting like she has an ear infection 2 weeks later. I feel like the visit was a waste but maybe not, we'll see. Dr Cartwright was very good about allowing me to buy my pet medication through an outside provider PetCareRX.com for heart worm pills and Advantage of which my other vet that I took Pixie two months earlier would not allow me to buy any of her meds online and only through her clinic which I thought was very controlling and unnecessary.

A physical, two blood tests, three vaccination shots, and a nail clipping thrown in....

A fantastic experience overall. My mother owned cats, but I've never had one. That being said, a stray took a liking to to myself and my husband and it was time to make the relationship official. Plaza Pet Clinic was able to take me the same day. The staff behind the desk was cheerful and friendly, and the vet had a great bedside manner with both me and the cat. He took a look at the animal, told me what was suggested and what options I had. He went over the pricing carefully, never pushing anything. A great experience all around.

After receiving vaccinations from a different vet, my cat, Betsy, became lethargic and began to limp. So, I decided to bring Betsy to the Plaza Pet clinic.

They took my appointment right away and, although I had to wait a bit in the lobby, my upset and crying cat became calm as soon as I sat her near the beautiful birds in the very clean waiting room. The vet and his assistant were very friendly and you could tell that they like animals. Kitty was like putty in the doctor's cat whisperer hands. We discovered she had a temperature of 105, the doctor explained everything that possibly could be happening and gave me a number of options. We chose to give her a liquid IV and an anti-biotic injection followed by a week of liquid antibiotics. I took Betsy home and a few hours later she was breathing really heavily so I called the vet who was just about to close. The doctor was out the door, but came back in to answer my call and suggested that I come in right away. So even though the place was closed he opened his doors to us. We discovered Betsy now had a temperature of 108, the doctor said that she might be reacting to the vaccine and gave us our options. We decided to give her a cortisone shot (to relieve the inflammation and fever) with Valium because she was obviously very distraught. I couldn't believe this doctor (whom, before this day, I had never met in my life, was willing to open his doors to us after closing to care for our beloved kitty. I am pleased to say that Betsy is on her way to recovery, she's still tired but eating, jumping and playing like her young self. Also, while I was in the lobby I met another couple who have been going to this clinic for over 20 years and would never think of going anywhere else. Well I think he's got himself another lifetime customer.

I took my cat to the vet to get his yearly shots. They administered two vaccinations.

The vet that I see at this location is Albert Cartwright. He is a very patient person and just loves animals. He always tries to be very informative when it comes to explaining things to you. They are pretty easy to get an appointment with. The place is clean too.

THEY WASHED AND GROOMED.

THEIR PROFESSIONALISM IS GOOD. THEY HAVE BEDSIDE MANNERS AND TAKE CARE OF WHATEVER YOU NEED. I STILL GO TO THEM, AND THEY ARE VERY RELIABLE. THE GUY IS PROFESSIONAL. HE EXPLAINS WHAT'S WRONG WHENEVER SOMETHING IS WRONG. WHATEVER HE'S DOING HE EXPLAINS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW UNTIL YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH THE ANSWER.

THEY DID BOARDING FOR A CAT AND A DOG. THEY BATHE THE ANIMALS AND TAKE CARE OF THEM, FEED THEM, AND WALK THEM.

WE HAVE USED THEM FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SATISFIED. THEY HAVE TAKEN CARE OF MANY OF OUR PETS IN THE PAST. THEY ARE COMPETENT. THEIR SERVICE IS TIMELY, AND THEY DO A GOOD JOB. THE ANIMALS ARE HEALTHY.
