The older Dr. Tillou is a nice man, very good as a vet. His son however is absolutely awful. I took our 18 year old dog in for advice and the younger Tillou had no bedside manner. He told me she had to be put to sleep. Given that I am disabled and on social security, I asked for the payments to be split between two ss checks. He said no; payment before procedure. So, wrote a check and it bounced. Now, I have been going to the elder Tillou for a couple of years without a history of nonpayment or bounced checks. I called and brought in half the payment. I was told that they would not release our dog's ashes until payment was made in full. We spent our first Thanksgiving in 18 years without her. A couple of days after I made the payment, the younger doctor called our home just to harass us. He told us we didn't deserve to have a dog or have her cremated. He said if we didn't show up the day I got my social security he'd dump her ashes. My wife was hysterical. He was heartless and cruel. A friend loaned us the rest of the money and I went in and asked for all our dogs records and her ashes. They were in a tin box. He stood there and stared at me and then turned and walked out of the area. And just to reinforce the heartlessness, we never received any kind of sympathy card from the practice. It was a horrible, horrible experience.
