Animal Medicine & Surgery Clinic

Chaikin is an adequate vet, but beware! He pads bills. When we complained nicely, he went off. He screamed and cursed at us in front of the whole office. We remained calm and he just flew off the handle. He told us to "Pay whatever the f*** you want, get your cat and get the f*** out!" We paid $300 more(total $600). He sued us anyway. The case is not resolved yet. He refused to give us the medicine when we left and would not give us the cat's medical records for about 6 months. We have reported him to the state medical professionals board.

He also quoted a price for an operation on another cat that we just had done for 1/3 the price he quoted.

Pros: parking

Cons: unnecessary lab fees, bill padding
