of Savannah Veterinary Emergency Clinic and owner Dr. Julie Harelson- in my Opinion, They RIPPED OFF our son and manipulated our sons emotions and concern for his dog to charge us $4,750.00 UP FRONT before they would take him in to observe him.
WHAT Happened -
Our son brought his dog in concerned that there might be a health issue.
The Vet on Duty - Jamie Baker took a look at Conan in the back and came out back out into the reception area with tears in her eyes saying that Conan will most likely require surgery.
She took advantage of his concern for his dog to get him to agree to a HUGE Charge.
She said that they needed to keep him to observe and take x-rays. *** They did not review any costs and told our son that they had to charge our card apx. 4750.00 just to take him in.
Her reaction was completely un-professional and manipulative by scaring our son into agreeing to the large charge.
Obviously this is a SCAM Veterinary Clinic that takes advantage of Pet owners who care so much for their pets.
Once we heard what happened we called them and ended up picked up Conan to take him to another Vet Clinic right down the road. Where they were completely professional and Total Cost was only 294.00 NOT the 4650.00 that the SCAM Vet
ps. They used a barium treatment so when you viewed the x-rays, you could see that there was no obstruction. The SCAM Clinic did not.
Conclusion –
Savannah Veterinary Emergency Clinic and owner Dr. Julie Harelson are obviously a SCAM Veterinary clinic.
Even when given the opportunity to correct their mistake. They choose not to.
In my opinion, they are taking advantage of these caring Pet Owners and OVERCHARGING them.
update -
- Savannah Veterinary Emergency Clinic Dr. Julie Harelson originally charged our son 4650.00 upfront.
After we picked up Conan, they credits us back an amount but still charged us 10 TIMES MORE than with the 2nd Professional Veterinary Clinic charged us.
I even called the owner Dr. Julie Harelson to review what happened and as soon as she heard the call was about a complaint, you had to get off the phone and have her office manager call us back.
At which time the office manager called and said that they would do nothing to help.
