1 Stars: Bad Vet and a Bad Person (by Shepetta S.)

SCAM ARTIST! Don't you think they'd use "lasers" for womens hysterectomies if it was "safer"?? CLEARLY a SCAM!!!! And I when I first got my puppy at 5 weeks I asked her if she was too young for shots.. she said "No" charged me over $200 dollars... and THEN I found out that puppies cant mount an immune responce until they're over 6 weeks... had to get those shots all over again. And I brought a stray in that I was treating for heart worms.. she charged me $45 for a "physical" which he didn't need because he had just been there to get the treatment a few weeks prior and insisted on doing a "follow up heart worm test" which I told her would be positive because he was still being treated, she insisted it woudnt, but it was and she STILL charged me. Then insisted on another one 3 weeks later so I looked it up and they arent supposed to be retested until 6 MONTHS post treatment... Maybe she's just a bad vet and doesn't know her trade, but I think she's just a bad person and likes stealing from people who love their pets.

1 Stars: Overpriced and Rude (by Christel D.)

I started taking my pets to Dr. Valeri Brown because she was closest,..what a mistake. When she wasnt talking down to me, she ignored me when I was asking questions about my cat's giardia. Basically treated me like I was stupid. She also charges a 39 dollar office exam fee, whether your getting examed or not and as others have said, will not consult you before milking those charges to your bill.

I was also charged for things that they did to my dogs without even telling me, the doctor just started giving my dog shots without asking me first and then charging me for them. Also they are not very friendly at the clinic.

1 Stars: Watch out for this one... (by Tom B.)

Dr. Valri Brown was rude and disrespectful. I was charged for services which were never performed and did not feel that my pets received the proper care. My pet was taken there for surgery which she neglected to do for quite a number of days. She knew that I was out of town and from day one I was told that my pet's surgery was over and that he was doing quite well. However, a friend of mine went in to visit the animal only to discover, a week later, that the surgery had never been performed and the animal was still in pain and receiving no treatment. Dr. Brown would give no explaination and later denied that she had spoken to me. I do not believe that a licensed veterinarian should neglect an animal in this way, nor directly lie to the owner about its condition or treatment. Since then I have heard only negative things about her and would never consider taking any animal there again. If you doubt this, just start asking around and I'm sure you'll hear the horror stories.

PROS: None
CONS: Service, Price, Care

4 Stars: Excellent Care (by Derrick M.)

They took excellent care of our dog here when she had to get shots and also when we got her fixed. They did laser surgery and took great care of her. It was worth the little extra to know our dog was in good hands.

4 Stars: Nice clinic with boarding services (by Elizabeth B.)

Dog and cat owners will love this smal centrally located vet clinic. The staff is knowledgeble and extremely nice, especialy to anxious owners leaving their baby for the first time. It's a small business and as such you get great one on one interaction with the staff, including the veterinarian. The facility is clean and they give military discounts.

PROS: Warm and knowledgeable staff
CONS: Limited weekend hours

3 Stars: Very Friendly (by Christina M.)

We took our dog to get fixed here and they were very nice and friendly, especially to the animals. It was priced kind of high but we did laser surgery so it was safer. I would recommend them if you are willing to pay a little more for your pet !

3 Stars: They are Decent (by Christy G.)

I had my dog fixed there and the staff was nice. They weren't overly nice like our current vet is. For services in conjunction with the state offerings like lower cost certificates, they were decent.

3 Stars: Dog/Cat Clinic (by Christine P.)

We took our Cat King Arthur to this Clinic for his Yearly check-up and Vaccinations since we had just gotten transfered here and this Clinic was closest to our Apartment. I was not impressed with the Service although the front Desk Clerk was very nice. I never went back and took my Cat on Base the next Year.
