Please! NEVER STEP INSIDE of Van Crest Animal Clinic. They jeopardized two of my animals' health. My cat of two years almost died because of Van Crest. My cat was not eating for 6 days so I took her to Van Crest. After Dr. Chambers did everything else first- he finally took an x-ray of my cat. He only seemed to see a small string in her stomach. I had to rush her to Emergency Care because she acting extremely lethargic. They had to remove an entire hairball out of her stomach that was blocking anything she tried to put down! A dog I only had for 3 months was treated for heartworms at Van Crest. They rushed the treatment to get the $ in 3 weeks. According to other vets and research, they should have waited 5 weeks between the initial shots and the second treatment. I was not offered any other options of how my dog could be treated for heartworms. I was not explained much about the treatment, except for being handed a sheet of paper with information on heartworm disease- not the treatment itself. They are also hard to get in touch with. They do not care about the animals or the owners. All they care about it getting as much $ as they can from you. I switched vets after my dog started to breathe really hard in his belly after the second treatment...my dog just died tonight.
Pros: The staff is really nice and helpful.
Cons: The vets do not know what they are doing and really don't care!
