Been a customer since 2006 with 4 cats, at first service and care was good. After Debra Rakes left everything began to go down. Most recent visit July 2015 was the worst experience I have ever had with a Vet. They took my cat into a treatment area and while in there for nearly a half hour I heard my cat screaming, tech returned him dumped him on the table and walked out. New female Vet comes in tells me he has tape worms (inside cat?) and is dehydrated tells me very little else and again takes my pet back to their treatment area. Comes out and suggests I should have his teeth cleaned to the tune of $265 then leaves (felt like when you take your car for an oil change and the tech tells you how bad everything looks but for a price they can fix it). Later tells me they will use a topical for tapeworms and says my other pets should be treated (again all are inside cats???) After another very long wait in excess of a half an hour returns my cat with no explanation, then a tech brings me one tube of meds for tapeworm when I asked about the meds for the other cats and the antibiotics she just leaves with no explanation. I asked for the Vet to get an explanation and she finally brings in the meds again with no explanation this time accompanied by a Bouncer looking tech. I finally realize that the session was over and still no explanation about treatment, diagnosis or anything. The bill was $475 for a visit and I did not receive an explanation, diagnosis, was treated rudely, and did not receive a follow-up call that I had asked for. I asked the receptionist to ask Dr. Garrison to call me. I would give no stars but I need to make a point on how my cat and I were treated, horrible, very unprofessionally.

no possible chance paws animal clinic less than 2 miles away is much better . Paws does not provide a 24 hour service but that does not matter buffalo ridge will not be able to help after hours, but help with your suffering, and suffering with your checking account as they will charge charge and charge you until you have all but forgotten about your beloved pet.

They didn't seem like they wanted to listen to almost everything I had to say. Been a customer for three years, with three cats. One very sick vomiting for three days. No appts available. Can drop off, and be seen whenever for an extra $40. So they have time, but I will pay for it. Jessica and Christina did not care. No apologies. Call first thing tomorrow morning and maybe we can see him. No appointments tomorrow ???? On hold for over five minutes. Told them I would have to find another vet, cat could die from dehydration. Get their records ready for new vet. Again, no problem, no apologies. Got an appt from neighbor's vet at 3:15 today. Not valuing life of animal, unless it means $.
