Former 5 star Review
We have spent over $20,000 at Abby. We called to see if they had appointments (usually they don’t for at least 6-8 weeks out) and they said they had no appointments in the next 7 weeks but are taking walk-ins and it sounded like our pet was in pain so they recommended her to be seen today or tomorrow. I said we will bring her right in. We did and arrived within 25 min. Then the person checking us in said they are not taking any more walk ins. I explained that the person on the phone said they were and that our pet was in pain and needed to be seen ASAP. She talked to the doctors and they said they would not see her. This was the straw that broke the camels back.

Our dog has had 3 mast cell tumors…. The third tumor they recommended this “new non invasive shot that will kill the tumor from the inside out” and pushed us to do it. So we spend $1000 and did it. It didn’t work. So $1,000 wasted and we can either do it again or pay for the surgery that we should have done to begin with.

Our dog had a cherry eye and needed surgery on her eyelid… we had the surgery done and the suture was not securely placed and that night it came out and every time she blinked her eyeball was getting scratched… which requires another surgery.

We have seen most of the vets at Abby and while they do SEEM to care about your pet ultimately I would not recommend them based on the above. We really liked most of the vets we encountered but unfortunately they would not stand behind their word so we will be going elsewhere.

I am so upset with the way Dr. Williamson examined my son's dog. Her exam was equivalent to that of a two-year old with a pretend doctor playset. She frisked my dog up and down a few times, listened through the stehascope for all of 5 seconds and tried to sell me a bunch of stuff. I asked for a RX and she refused to write me one and wanted me to pay more and buy it at the clinic. Not only was she disrespectful towards me, I felt insulted with how poorly I was treated and how she felt such an inadequate exam for $45 was satisfactory. I will not be coming back here.

Really disappointed with the Vet. Dr. Williamson waited on us and my mom was not at all happy with her exam. She treated us both rudely and made us feel like we were ignorant. She didn't seem like she cared at all and just wanted to leave. Really bad experience. The staff and technician were very nice and helpful, but the doctor was the worst Vet we've been to. Dr. Williamson is not a Vet we will go back to. We will find a new pet hospital because we do not want to be waited on again by her. She was not polite and was very unprofessional.

They are always good about working my dogs in when I have an emergency. The staff is friendly, their office is clean and professional, and the wait time is generally less than 10 minutes.

I called numerous vets and this was the cheapest but so great. They knew what was wrong with my dog & even after a week they called and checked up on her . highly recommend them :)

I called to ask a question and was asked three times if I would hold. It would have taken as long to answer the question as it did to ask me to hold for three separate times. Then when I was put on hold, I was left on hold for over 10 minutes.

Another cash generating scam

Our dog had a bad itching problem so we took him in to Abby since they were close and looked clean. The good thing was that the vet diagnosed the problem as scabies. However, the medicine prescribed was a toxic smelly poison that actually made them grow more. She said that if the condition did not improve we should come back for more guesses. She instructed us to wash all our bedding and clothes in bleach to kill them. We started getting desperate and felt that we were being hustled for more office visits. We finally decided that if bleach would kill them in the bedding, why not bathe our dog in low doses of bleach water in a tub. It started killing them immediately and cleared in a month totally, and it did not cost 100.00 to purchase like the medicine. Would we go back, I do not think so.

If you think $100 is high for vet service; you obviously know nothing about prices. Nor would I ever bathe myself or my dog with bleach

I highly recommend (( MY Vet Dr Brewer ))she has taken care of my pet for a few years now and is AWESOME, the new facility is beautiful but does not feel as worm as the old building did, the Reception Staff is mostly new and most of them are not very friendly but get the JOB done!!! maybe they just need to get settled in. it took me a long time to find a caring vet and I hope this helps anyone looking to find one decide were to go because there are plenty of BRUTES out there that treat our Babies like ANIMALS.... when they claim to be animal lovers
