Gause Boulevard Veterinary Hospital

I have no doubt that Sir Pumpkin received excellent and loving care here. The vet called me several times while I was away and I appreciated the good communication. And the hours are very convenient. That being said, I almost fell over when I saw the bill which was almost twice as much as I expected it to be. Upon arrival, the assistant who took Sir Pumpkin from me expressed concern about his ears which showed some dark colored buildup. I have seen it before, and was not worried about it. I just thought they were dirty. But she asked me if I wanted the doctor to take a look at them, so I agreed. The next day I received a call from the vet who said the substance was just dirt and wax buildup that had been taken care of, but that he now had diarrhea. I agreed to him treating Sir Pumpkin for that, although I was pretty sure it was not a big deal. When I went to pick up my pet 10 days later, I was presented with a bill for over $322!! This included $42 for an office visit, $15 for the ear cleaning, $20 for ointment and $88 for administering medication in addition to the boarding costs!! The care was thorough and loving, but the bill was ludicrous with (now) obvious attempts to add every possible service and dollar to the total amount due. For this reason, I do not recommend this animal hospital and will not return.
