Veterinary Ophthalmology Clinic

I was extremely displeased with the service this clinic provided to my parents and their dog. Their 11 year old boston terrier had been experiencing eye problems, and a series of extensive testing was performed including x-rays, blood work, etc to ensure he did not have cancer or disease. Dr. Isherwood said that everything looked "normal" and that the dog simply had an issue with his tear ducts. Over $3000 for a painful surgery and a long period recovery, the dog was still having issues. Turns out the x-rays that were taken pre-procedure showed an abnormality indicating cancer, but the doctors at this office didn't think to mention that to my parents for further investigation. MY PARENTS DOG DIED YESTERDAY. The last months of his life were spent recovering from a surgery that was a complete waste of money, time, stress and pain. He could've lived the rest of his life, no matter how long that would have been, without having to suffer through an unnecessary surgery that only filled the wallets of the employees of this clinic. The whole point of pre-procedure testing and x-rays is to shed light on any abnormalities present... WHY my parents weren't told about his abnormal results until AFTER the surgery is a true crime. If this had happened with a doctor for humans this would be complete malpractice. Shame on this office and doctors for rushing into a surgery, putting a sick dog through stress and pain, causing distress to my family and stealing money that could have and should have been put toward cancer treatment.
