Briarcrest Animal Clinic

I am at a loss of words at the recent loss of my 8 month old puppy after discovering he ingested foreign material(Doggie toys ect...) and it lodged itself in my dogs stomach. After two seperate visits to the Vet and three days later surgery was scheduled with the impression that it was OK to wait until the following day to perform surgery, this was obviously a terrible judgement call by the Vet. My young vibrant puppy died without a valid explanation of what went wrong during the surgery. I had a similar occurance with a different Vet approx five years ago but the dog had a different problem but after surgery the SAME RESULT occurred. I am at a point where I am starting to believe that Vets should be evaluated very closely on their recommendations regarding performing surgery on our pets. My eight year old daughter is crushed as this was her dog... Pet lovers use caution at the vet. more

Briarcrest became our vet by accident. We had had our rescue puppy, Quincy, for a week when he threw up worms at 4 p.m. on a Friday. I called our regular vet but all the doctors had gone home. So i started to call vets in the area. The 6th vet was Briarcrest. They said they could take him right away. He was seen at 4:45 and got the proper medication, and we got medication for our other animals as well. He healed fine, and any time we have had an emergency they have gotten us in right away. When I was in the hospital having my daughter, my beloved cat had to be put down due to kidney failure. The vet in charge of her care called me at the hospital on a Saturday to explain what had to be done. In short, they rock! more
