    July 25th, 2024 Laura M******, DMV was provided the information from my former vet to do an Ultrasound to confirmed cysteine stone were present in the bladder. Cysteine stones need to be surgically removed IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. My Emotional Support Dog would also need to be neutered to prevent stones from forming again. Dr. M****** COMPLETELY disregard my former vet’s medical advice to do the surgery immediately to prevent urinary obstruction resulting in a medical emergency (his bladder could potentially explode). This is when my confidence began to diminish in Dr. M******** intent. August 8th, 2024, I brought my ESA back to see Dr. M******. she scheduled surgery for the stone removal and the neutering for August 27th, 33 DAYS after my ESA’s first visit with her. In the 33 days my ESA health reverted back to before he was diagnosed. THE EXACT MEDICAL CONCERN FROM MY FORMER VET HAPPENED. MY ESA EXPERIENCED URINARY OBSTRUCTION. THIS RESULTED IN ME HAVING TO PICK MY ESA UP FROM THE CLINIC WITH IN MINUTES FROM DR. M****** NEUTERING MY ESA AND HAVING TO TRANSFER HIM MYSELF WHILE HE WAS UNDER SEDATION TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM 30 A MINS AWAY. MY ESA SPENT 2 NIGHTS IN THE ICU & $7,000+ IN MEDICAL BILLS. MY ESA’S BLADDER COULD HAVE EXPLODED RESULTING IN LOST OF HIS LIFE. NOT TO MENTION IT PUT US BOTH IN AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL STRESS. DR. M****** IS AN INEXPERIENCED, DMV, WITH ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE JUDGMENT, IS CONTROLLING AND FEAR MONGERING, AND A TERRIBLE COMMUNICATOR. I TRIED TO RESCHEDULE MY ESA’S SURGERY FOR AUGUST 28TH UNDER A DIFFERENT SURGEON BUT SHE INSISTED ON PERFORMING THE SURGERY AND MOVING TO THE 27TH SO SHE COULD PERFORM THE SURGERY. IF YOU LOVE YOUR PET PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COST. THIS CLINIC IS NOT EXPERIENCE TO HANDLE THIS TYPE OF PROCEDURE. SHE TAKES THE FEAR APPROACH WHEN PEOPLE ARE ALREADY UNDER STRESS TRYING TO CARE FOR THEIR ANIMALS. ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. THANK GOD MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG IS STILL ALIVE.
