VCA Midpark Animal Hospital

I have always taken my dogs to see Dr Jackson at Midpark Animal Hospital and have always enjoyed excellent care. I have had a dog with epilepsy, cancer, and CCL problems. On all occasions, Dr Jackson identified the issues and made wonderful referrals. He has always treated my animals with the upmost care.

Dr. Kinscher and staff treated my cat with the utmost respect and care. Her knowledge and expertise alleviated my pets suffering and enabled me to make the best possible decisions regarding treatment. Dr. and staff were extremely accommodating, caring, patient, and displayed a humanistic side that often goes unnoticed in such a sterile environment.

They turned away my dying kitten, said it was too late in the day to treat her, then proceeded to charge me $50.00 for NOTHING. They were rude and uncaring. They are all about money and NOT helping your pet. There are plenty of other reputable vets in the area who won't rip you off. AVOID THESE SCAMMERS.

Keep your animals away from Dr. Jackson and VCA Midpark Animal Hospital. They are part of a chain of over 450 animal hospitals, a McDonalds of vet care. Your pet deserves better than a McVet.

I've been going there for many years. They are expensive but are full-service, are sparkling clean, have on-site grooming & boarding, and everyone there is top-drawer. The ladies in front are friendly, courteous and kind. The techs are competent and courteous. Medical Director Dr. Scott Jackson is one-of-a-kind; I've trusted him for many years and recommend him very, very highly. He not only "knows his stuff" but is a genuinely wonderful person with a very good heart.

We have been bringing our furry son's here for a very long time and I wouldn't go anywhere else. They fit me in when necessary in an emergency. They are extremely caring and always spend time with us when we are there. I have had to put 2 of our furry son's down due to age and they were right there for us. I can not say enough about the doctor's and staff here at Mid park. To me, they are the best!

My family has used them for 20+ years, even though they are very expensive. I have had 2 dogs with epilepsy, both were treated there and both died within a short period of time. My last dog was on a combo of medicines to stop seizures..and could not walk! The vet never asked for me to bring her in, and eventually told me to stop the phenobarb cold turkey. I did so, and found out later on that you should NEVER do that..as it can lead to cluster seizures and death...and that is exactly what happened. Tons of $'s, no help, and my dog died. And after 20+ years of business, you'd think they would bill me or take payments...right? WRONG. All the loyalty I had shown, and they were unwilling to help so I could afford better treatment/tests and pay a little at a time. Guess what, we have changed vets, are very happy now. All I got was money spent that did no good and a sympathy card.

My sister has used VCA Midpark as her primary vet for a few years and never had a problem, however, we found out that that was because she had never had a pet emergency. When her dog injured his paw, she called them to see about trying to fit her in but they told her they couldn't because they were all booked up for the next couple of days. Obviously, this was unacceptable so we called a different vet, one she hadn't used at all before, and they more than happily fit her in between appointments. She has since switched to the other vet as their primary vet.

I am writing this on the day that I will most likely be putting my best friend to sleep. My dog Bailey was taken to Midpark Hospital about 4 weeks ago for a limp she was having. After being examined, the doctor said it was a torn shoulder muscle and prescribed some pain meds for her. She seemed to make a recovery for the next 5 days until she had a stroke! This was a Saturday afternoon around 12:15. I called Midpark immediately informing them of my dog's grave condition, to which I was told to take her to an emergancy room because they close in an hour and couldn't see her. This was undesrtandable but not what I wanted to hear. After being stablized, she would be sent home to have a follow up at Midaprk on Monday. This we did and after a full examination we were told that hopefully it was just an instance out of our control and that she would make a full recovery. Well, this was not the case at all because last Tuesday, she began to slied towards the worst again. So my wife rushed her to see her normal vet at Midpark. But unfortuantaley for us, she had left so we were "taken care of" by a different male vet. This vet procedded to very unsympathetically tell us that our dog was dynig and that there was nothing that we could do or try. He even took 2 xrays(costing $200) to prove his point. While the need for xrays is understandable, after taking her to a different vet, we were told that Xrays from simply one side are of no use because you can't see the size or location accurately of the growths. Then the doctor gave one of two options...either give her a shot to "knock her out and make her loopy" or a shot that would "ease her pain but keep her alert and awake"!! Who would ask that question?!?! So as we were paying at the front desk, while all in tears, we look outside to see this doctor zooming out of the parking lot on his way home. Now unfortuanately because the tumors were not detected by any of the $1000 in exams, it is too late to save her. My dog is only 8.5 years old and is now going to die early because of inhumane and careless vets. Not a day will go by that I will not think "what if I had taken her somwhere else". I am more sad then angry, but I URGE everyone to stay away from this hospital. I am writing letters to the VCA, the local papers as well as to a few news stations! If you love your pet, keep them out of here!!

PROS:
CONS: The worst possible scenario has been played out because of this place!

This is a great vet to take your animals to. We have been taking ours for years and have never been disappointed. When we had to have our dog euthanized they were very caring and helpful The vet even had tears in her eyes. I would never take my pets anywhere else for care.
It is clean and everyone is very friendly.
You can also board your pets their and have them groomed.
