Francis Animal Hospital

I have taken my 3 Dachshunds there for over four years now. I was recommended to go there by the breeder's of my second dog. Thank God none of my dogs have gotten sick from there. But every time I've been there he doesn't explain what hes doing and you can't understand him because he acts rude and he mumbles. One of the nurses had to explain to me the procedure I was getting for my dog because he walked away before I could ask anything. I have seen him fight with his nurses and most importantly fight with a customer! He has cheap prices (that he does) but money is not an issue when it comes to my pets health. Thank You for your reviews because I realized I wasn't the only one!

I have taken Gracie (miniature schnauzer) to this vet for three years and she has been in good health ever since. I have trusted him ever since he recommended at no charge to my girlfriend to return her first chihuahua since it had a birth defect that gave it poor movement coordination and poor vision. From what I understand he has been a vet for more than 20 years and I feel that his experience has saved us from the trouble of taking care of a sick dog.

I took my puppy in for second set of the 5 in 1 shot. it looked like the dr recognized most of the pets there but when he saw a new puppy he asked for his record right away. he then insisted that the puppy needed deworming and about 3 other vaccines. i clearly explained to the receptionist that i only wanted the one vaccine. once inside the exam room the vet administered 2 shots in my puppy. when i went to pay they were charging me for the other vaccines that i did not want and then stated that the dr misunderstood and my puppy got 3 vaccines which i was forced to pay for....

This vet is the worst ever, he does not care for the animals, he also does not care for his employees. He needs to retire, and get out of the animal business. I have seen many animals die in his care one 's that should not have. he may have cheap prices but it's not worth it if you love your pets. He would use dirty surgical instruments dog after dog or cat after cat, and also use the same one use needles, for shots. so many animals would come back with bad infections. and it would cost the owners more money to treat the infections. so please if you love your pets, find another vet to go too.

I (having once worked there) DO NOT recommend this hospital for owners who want the best treatment for their pet; unless your main concern is the "cheap" pricing. I have seen him act rough on the animals and misdiagnose too many times. (proof would be the writer below). He is rude to the clients, careless towards the animals; and no matter how often the girls and i would remind him of his wrongdoings, he would argue that he's been there "25-30" years and that he is "a doctor" (...not a strong defense!)
He is too focused on how much money he wants to make rather than properly treating a dog/ cat-- sometimes i believe he misdiagnoses so that a client must return.
take it from someone who's been 'behind-the-scenes'. i am simply suggesting to you owners for the health of your pets.

i experienced the worst situation with this vet in result of costly medications and after the 4th treatment of 6 my dog died. before treating my dog this vet does not explain any type of side affects the dog could have. he just tells you and does not even have you sign anything authorizing the work then you have no knowledge of anything but just a costly bill. i will never return to this vet and highly recommend you not to put your trust in them. he killed my dog!!

Ever since I was a little girl my mother has taken our pets to Franc's Animal Hospital and now I take my pets there too. They are so nice to the animals and very well priced. Of course the animals are scared when the arrive, but what animal likes going to the vet. Even though they are scared, I feel like they are in good hands with the doctor and nurses there. Everyone there has worked there for years and that to me is a good sign. No matter what, I will bring my animals back to Franc's Animal Hospital.
