WARNING DON'T GET RIPPED OFF!

My husband brought my French Bulldog, Jacob in to AEC 5/26/17 for pain with breathing and shortness of breath as our primary concern. This was our second experience with the emergency vet. The first time we were there, my dog had a seizure, and I felt that he ordered a bunch of unnecessary test which inflated our bill. To any non medical person, this could be passed off but I've been in healthcare for the past 25 years. I also was Pre Vet Med for the first 5 years of college. I am no expert but I am more educated then most people who walk through their door.

The vet met with my husband, left and sent in the vet tech with a care plan that included a bunch of tests for pancreatitis. My husband asked for the vet to just do the chest xray at least and we would go to our regular vet the next day. The Vet at AEC refused to do that. His excuse was, the tests need to be all done at the same facility. So he sent us away with pain medicine.

We brought Jacob in to our regular vet on 5/27/17. He was diagnosed with pneumonia. Something the vet at AEC could have caught and treated at AEC if only he would have done a chest x-ray. Most medical people know, the faster you can treat pneumonia, the better the outcome. Our Jacob died last night.
He might still be here if your vet could have put his arrogant ego aside and do what we asked him to do. He is not God and shouldn't pretend he is.

This place will rip you off. They will order unnecessary tests to make money off you and they will take advantage of your situation and lack of medical knowledge.

GO ELSEWHERE!!!!
