2 Stars: Bingle Vet Dr Vaughan is not very friendly. (by Kati N.)

Last month, I took my cat to the Bingle Vet, and I was disappointed. The nurses and assistants were great and very sociable to me and to my cat. My cat wasn't thrilled by the number of dogs there, but that will happen at almost any vet.

The part that bothered me is when Dr. Vaughan examined my cat. She had some bleeding on her abdomen, so he simply grabbed her up and threw her on her back. Then he wrapped his hand around a mass with his fingers digging in and then flipped her back upright. He made no gestures to the cat other than to throw her around. Then he announced that she had a tumor which was probably going to be terminal. He was not personable at all and just made the blunt statement and said she would need surgery.

Dr. Vaughan did perform the surgery and appears to be technically adept as my cat is doing okay for now. My husband took her back to have her stitches removed and I had to take her back a third time as they missed removing one of them. Again, the nurses were very nice to me and my cat.

I will be looking for another vet however. I did not appreciate the rough treatment of my sick cat nor the abrupt nature of the doctor.

3 Stars: Great doctor, poor grooming service (by Shiyun L.)

I have some mixed experience with Bingle Vet. I took my cat there for a general check up and a bath + claw trimming recently.

Good: The staff are very nice, the Doctor gave a great and detailed report for my cat's check up.

Bad: I was told to drop my cat off at 7am and pick her up at 2:30pm. When i got there she's still wet and when i got home i noticed all the loose furs still on her (which is the reason i wanted to give her a bath in the first place) and the claw was not trimmed at all. It almost seems they just get her wet right before I went to pick her up.

I would recommend this vet but not their grooming services.

5 Stars: Wonderful Vet and Staff (by Elizabeth E.)

I've been going to Bingle Vet for several years now and could not be more pleased with the service I get and the staff. Over the years, they have treated eight different pets of mine plus countless strays that I've found. Dr Vaughn and Caroline are two of the nicest people you could ever meet and they have always had extremely gifted staff members.

5 Stars: Dr. Vaughan and Staff --THANK YOU! (by Susan L.)

I just want to say thanks to you all for taking such great care of Korky while I was on vacation. Though, I think she was a little sad to leave you all when I retrieved her. I really thought she would be mad at me for leaving her for 6 days. Seems like she had a great time with you all. Dr. Vaughan - thank you for removing the moles off of her head. She looks great! I do appreciate all the care you have given her over the years. Your the best!

2 Stars: boarding service complaint (by Caroline B.)

We brought our dog to Bingle Vet to be boarded for two days this week. When we picked up the dog today, we found out that the dog was not given his raw hide bones or treats as these were returned to us in the original packages still unopened. We called Bingle Vet to complain and was told that he was given balls and toys and other treats by the staff during his stay and he was happy while he was there. I advised that he's never played with a ball or a squeeky toy in the five years that we've owned him. I do not feel like the staff understands their responsibilty in boarding a dog. We're very disappointed that the dog was not given the treats that we provided for him since we know the dog best. We were told that the treats that we provided were forgotten about. We only hope that the dog was fed the food that we provided for him or was this forgotten as well? I would not recommend Bingle Vet to board your dog.

4 Stars: Great vet (by Kristina E.)

I had to take my cat there when she had a hurt leg. They told me that she would have to have her leg amputated. At the time she was 8 yrs old, and I had her since she was a kitten. So I got it done and the doctor and the nurses there were great with her. I wished I lived closer to keep going there. I would recommend this place to anybody that has a pet.

4 Stars: Good vet! (by Frederic J.)

The people here are obviously passionate about pets and it shows in their handling and care of your pet during exams. I have the utmost confidence in the staff at this facility. The only downside is that it can be tough to get an emergency appointment, so you may have to consider an alternative, such as a private veterinarian. Recommended!

PROS: good staff
CONS: no emergency appointment
