Businiess name:  The Cat Doctor
Review by:  citysearch c.
Review content: 
After being away on business for a week, my cat has been laying around sort of blob like and not eating much for a few days so I was getting worried. She sometimes acts out when I travel, but this time she seemed sick and my dad found out their cat had tapeworm so I thought I'd take her to a vet to be on the safe side. I normally go to Banfield but wanted something cheaper and more personal so I called around this morning and found the Cat Doctor and was told the exam would be $37, much better than other places, so I made my appointment. Now, I'm not dumb, I know medications and so on cost money, which at Banfield usually add up to maybe 60 or $70 and I wanted to avoid those little extra costs, but I know they happen. Dr. Oeben seemed very concerned, and all the staff were very friendly and seemed to genuinely care for my cat's wellbeing. She ran some tests, took her temp...nothing major wrong. She had a slight temperature. So she gave her some antibiotics and fluids along with flea and worm medications. Then I went out to pay and they charged me ::: $379!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What????? They gave me the whole shpiel that they had to rule out a bunch of terrible things like leukemia and liver problems, etc with the blood tests and they were expensive, but they were just so concerned and my cat seemed so sick and ....excuse excuse excuse. I was never once warned of the costs, they did not explain what they were doing, or ASK if I wanted all the tests done. She said she didn't pick up on the fact that I was concerned about the financial aspect of the visit, and that I just seemed to be concerned for the cat's health, and did not seem like someone strapped for cash....major ?? again here. Am I supposed to appear poor to not be ripped off? I mean, yes I care about the cat, but I don't even pay $400 or even 1/20'th of that for my own doctor's visits, and even if I'm dying, I'd like to be warned beforehand of the costs. So, no, I will not go back here, and I suggest that unless you are rolling in money and put your cat on the same plane as a spoiled rich child, don't go.
