Pet ""treated"" by this vet was a bearded dragon. Our experience was terrible.\r
\r
We were told that our pet was going to die without a battery of expensive tests and surgery. We were also told that the vet wouldn't perform any services for our supposedly dying animal unless she was paid in full up front; our attempt to set up an installment plan was categorically refused. We were accused by O'Leary of being neglectful. She literally reduced my wife to tears over the phone.\r
\r
After being told on Halloween 2007 that our pet would be dead by the following Thanksgiving, I'm happy to say that he is still alive as of January 2009 and quite healthy as he approaches his thirteenth birthday.\r
\r
A second opinion with another vet resulted in our being told that all he needed was a small dietary change; there was never anything significantly wrong with him.\r
\r
I wonder how many pets have been needlessly euthanized because of this veterinarian. In any case, I would STRONGLY advise owners to take their pets elsewhere for care.
Pros: Staff allowed us to leave the office
Cons: Misdiagnosis, hard-heartedness
