I moved to where I live now 2 years ago. I've been searching for a decent vet that is nearby ever since. There's only about 4 vets within about 30 or so minutes and I've tried them all. (well actually there's like 6-7 but there's a few that I WILL NOT use no matter what). I don't really want to travel any more than that but I think I may have to.
The vet I have now I started to use in November 04 along with another vet, but I've solely been using this vet since Jan-Feb 05.
The technology is awesome there, their knowledge is great, the place is very clean & well set up. I have NO problem with that, thats why they are my vet, thats the only reason they are my vet.
But the ENTIRE staff is... well just not personable or too friendly. I feel so not welcome there & I get the same feeling that other clients feel the same way. I see the staff treat them just as they treat me.
I've heard people say bad things about them, then again I've heard good stuff about the practice as well, it evens out, like any business.
I know I haven't been a patient for too long but like I said they treat everyone else the same and a few of them I know have been clients for years & years. They should be friendly & outgoing to any & all clients, thats just how any business should be run. Even though I haven't been a patient for long but I've already spent over $4000 there! :eek:
I just get the heebie geebies kind of when I'm there. It doesn't feel right even though I know & feel that they are a good vet, as far as animal welfare goes.
Why is it so hard to find a good vet now-a-days, one that is up to date on technology & knowledge, reasonably priced & friendly.
I'm sick of changing vets. I've tried the whole visit the practice before I bring my pets there & although you get a feel for it you don't get the entire feel for it until your there a few times.
My animals vet records look like poop, I've got a bunch from different vets, it looks like something happened like it's bad on my part when really it was just because I was not satisfied with them.
What do I do, suck it up because I know they do good work & just feel like poop when I'm there, or drive even further & find yet another vet?
