Although Dr. Julie is a very caring vet and knowledgable vet, she goes overboard with her treatments and is very good at laying on a guilt trip if you ever question her about whether something is really necessary. To put my dog on a medicine, she requires bloodwork every 3 months (or she will not approve the refills) whereas other vets will require only repeat bloodwork every 6 months. I constantly find myself going in for a routine appt. and coming out having spent over $200 on various tests she pushed onto me unexpectedly. She doesn't know how to work with people who don't believe in spending every last dollar for the care of their pets (my dog gets better healthcare than I do) for things that are not medically necessary, even if they are ""advisable."" I have another friend who also goes to Dr. Julie and has the same problem. We are both switching to another vet who can be more accomodating and reasonable in helping patients keep vet costs in line.
Pros: Very caring doctor
Cons: Doesn't understand that people aren't made of money
