I had a 9 AM appointment and saw the doctor at 9:40. I went in for a consultation on my dog's arthritis. \r

Prior to my visit, I brought my dog's medical records from his previous vet to Oradell. I asked if he had read the materials. The vet said no and began to say " I never ..." but didn't finish the sentence.This doctor spent a couple of minutes with my dog -watched him walk down the hall and felt his joints and told me I should try and reduce his pain medication. Then he started to leave the room. I had to tell him to wait so he could give me an assessment of my dog's arthritis and posssible things we could do to make him comfortable. He said " his hips are terrible and his knees are terrible and there is no sense wasting money" Then he left. For this sage advice I paid $145. I've been going to vets for 25 years and have never encountered one so callous.
PROS: They're open 24/7 in case of emergencies
CONS: Lack of professionalism, expertise, compassion. High price
