Dr. Simpkins was the only good thing in this practice and she has left and is now working at Colonial Heights Animal Clinic in Kingsport. This is the worst practice I have ever seen. We first saw Dr. Simpkins - who is the 1 of the kindest and knowledgable vets we have encountered. Our cat was sick and she was off 1 day, so we had to see Dr. Sallee who is the owner - she was rude. She became quite irritated when we starting askin questions about her diagnosis and treatment options. I even overheard her speaking horrible to her staff. She would not see our cat in the exam room with us, but forced us to let her take him to the back (if you wont let me watch how you treat my pet, then you must be doing something I will disapprove of). Then when we checked out it was over $300 (for an exam, stool check, bloodwork). Even the staff seems to feel sorry for us for having to deal with her. Caring for pets is not her concern - she is in it for the money and is very rude to the people who are paying her salary!
