Decent Animal Clinic. Clientele is very polite. Can't say a whole lot because I go there only to let them express my dog and cut her nails. I use another veterinarian for everything else.
Very grateful to this place right now. My husband and I were faced with the decision of putting our dog down after he was diagnosed with cancer by a specialist and being told that the monthly cost of the chemotherapy needed was almost triple than we could afford... and that he would still require a four-thousand-dollar surgery where he would lose up to half of his lower jaw.
We're very grateful for PKAMC's insistence on that quality of life evaluation. Cancer is what it is, and I'm not letting myself get overly optimistic, but at least now we can try to get him better. It hurt to think we were going to have to put him down because we couldn't afford to try.
The specialist wanted over $600 a month for treatment.
Sadly we went here when our dog was diagnosed with mass cell cancer which spread very rapidly. They we're very kind and told us all of our options with no judgement. The Dr was so personable and truly took the time to listen. The staff was incredibly empathetic and would recommend.
PKAMC's treatment is less than $30 a month.
I have been bringing my 3 dogs and cat to PKAMC since 2007. I usually would see Heather Berry and on occasion would see Walter Grambow, they were wonderful, especially Heather. Recently I had one of my dogs get ill with some eye goop and lethargic. I called first thing in the morning and was told he could be seen at 3:30p. I get to there and he is seen by Dr. Wallace, though I know he owns the practice in 10 years I have never seen or met him and found it odd. Dr. Wallace took a look at my dog and told me he'd run some blood work. He then left with my dog as I waited. One of the techs brought back my dog and I sat there in the room for about 20 minutes as my dog got sicker and sicker before a tech came out to tell me they could cash me out. No one told me the blood work takes a day or two to come back, I thought I was sitting there waiting for blood test results. I was given eye drops for him and as I went to pay my dog become very ill, couldn't even stand. I panicked and told the front desk girls who said they would check with the doctor, they took my dog back to the doctor and a few minutes later came out to tell me that to take him home and they'd call me in the next day with the blood test results. I knew something is drastically wrong with my dog. I left and brought him to Bulger Animal Hospital we're he was confirmed to have Immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). The vets there were perplexed that he was just seen by his vet with he not realizing how ill he was, and time was of essence with this disorder to get a blood transfusion as soon as possible. Unfortunately my dog was too far gone by this point and his immune system by that time had killed off too many of his own red blood cells and there was very little hope by that point to save him. The fact that he was just seen by his own vet, who didn't even take his temperature is beyond me and that he just sent us on our way with such a common deadly illness is showing the lack of care there now. I'm not sure where my previous vets went to, but I don't believe they are there anymore and I certainly won't be returning with any of my other pets.
They are amazing! They are great price also! My kitty hates vets after being grabbed by the skin of her back (not the neck) and dragged across the table while sticking her with a needle she tends to hate vets but she absolutely loooooves the older male vet she was Ben purring for him! I was so surprised! Keep up the good work everyone!
PKAMC was the only vet in the area who had an opening to to the euthanasia... and they were the only one who insisted on doing a "quality of life evaluation" before agreeing to see him to do the euthanasia. I'm glad they did -- our dog is still in good spirits, but the specialist had told us that if we didn't get him started on the chemo in the next two weeks, it would be too late and without chemo he only had about a month before the tumor was so big that he would rupture it moving around or while trying to eat and would bleed out (we have already had a bleed out incident that required emergency surgery to stop, so this was a real fear). Dr. Insalaco took one look at our dog, reviewed the specialist's report... and told us that there was a chemo treatment available that was well within our ability to afford. We were floored at that. Why didn't the specialist offer this as an option when we told him we couldn't afford and would have to put the dog down?
We could only afford about $200 a month.
