Valley Central Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center

Money, money, money, money. Be prepared to open your pocketbook if you decide to come here. I had an ultrasound for my dog here and met with the doctor after to discuss the results. Doctor Ron was personable and tried to break the ice as soon as he walked in the room. He spent time going over the results slide by slide and tried to explain as he would to a student of medicine. End result was my dog needed surgery for 3000 to 4000 dollars. He told me to have a beer, think it over and get back to him the next day. I was told not to go to a different vet as "they might not be able to handle the procedure". After much debate, I called back the next day to make an appointment to schedule surgery. However, I was told I had to come in for a consultation that would cost 175.00. I thought that was what I did the prior day with Dr. Ron for 500. I was then told that other tests would have to be done prior to surgery. At this point it was clear they didn't care and that they were trying to nickel and dime me even after I agreed to a costly surgery. I went with a different vet and will now stay away from here until I'm a much wealthier man than I am today.

Great place to get an animal euthanized. Kinda expensive to pay them to kill your pet. Staff was nice. If going into the situation, would lead to a dead pet; why rack up the bill. Diagnosis on spot, i.e. your pet has to be put down at first sight vs. expensive x-ray/whatever. Obama regulated the healthcare industry, maybe his legacy should have regulated the veterinary/dental industry too. Great staff; will get future animals euthanized here again.

The most caring and kind people! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, they did everything to help my baby Sasha get better! Highly highly recommend!
