I love these folks. Dr. Montgomery knows his animals. These people offer top quality animal care and do it without pulling the gold out of your teeth.
Do not trust Mr. Montgomery with your pets....Thursday December 1 2016 at around midday my wife took our 5 year old poodle to him to examine, he was breathing hard seem to be in pain. They did blood work and found his blood sugar was at 530 mg/dl. Found out later that normal is between 74 and 143. He then told my wife it was past his lunch time and she needs to go home and decide if we wanted to do treatments with insulin shots for the rest of his life and if so we would start Monday morning. On Friday mourning the very next day our poodle was totally blind from the extremely high blood sugar. Tried to call him but it was 12:00 before he finally called back. By then his eyes red and he was breathing very rapidly. It was to late we had to put him down. If only Mr. Montgomery would have treated him with insulin the moment he saw the results at 530 when the high limits are only 143. I have the lab reports to prove this. But no he sent him back home with no treatment, now our beloved poodle of 5 years is dead. Mr. Montgomery should have also caught the diabetes much earlier as we took our pet to him on regular schedule check ups since he was a pup and his last check up was only This past September....Please folks I love your pets too, be careful of the vets you use. God bless
Friendly staff! Excellent fur family care
What's even worse is that the same vet made the same mistake with a dog that my friend's family was caring for until they could find an owner. She did no other tests, and assumed the dog had a heart problem as well! Upon taking the dog to another vet for a second opinion, they found out that the dog did have a small heart problem, but it wasn't anything that would warrant putting the dog to sleep. I feel like there may be many, many other animals who may have lost their lives because this so-called veterinarian can't do her job correctly and does not second guess herself. I don't know where this "vet" went to school, but she's not the kind of person I would take any animal to. It's appalling that she jumps to such conclusions with these animals' lives and the emotions of their owners. Please be careful, and seek a second opinion, or ask for other simple tests, if you have anything similar happen.
Doc does a great job with our dog, helpful through the good stuff and the bad.
Dr. Graham Dangerously Misdiagnosed Two Animals: My best friend has had several very bad experiences that need to be written about. It concerns Dr. Graham, not the other vets there. My friend took her kitten there for a routine visit, and Dr. Graham listened to the kitten's heart through the stethoscope as part of the examination. Without doing any other tests, she told my friend that her cat had a terrible heart problem and wouldn't live very long. She even went so far as to suggest that medication would not work and she might think of going ahead and putting her down that day. My friend didn't want to do that right away and decided to take her home and keep her comfortable until she became very sick. Two and half years later.... the cat is alive and quite normal. The family do believe their cat may have a thyroid problem as she does eat a lot and doesn't tend to gain weight, and she's also a bit more lazy than the other cats, but otherwise lives a healthy normal cat's life.
