Thornton Veterinary Clinic

Not even worthy of 1 star. I brought my dog in who had swelling and bruising on her stomach where she has had previous surgeries and tumors removed. Dale the vet spent more time disgustingly looking at my crouch as he knelt down to my dog. Feeling uncomfortable I knelt down also. After being given no more information than I had already worked out myself Dale prescribed antibiotics and gave one to my dog then and there without telling me what it was or how much this medication would cost. I then headed back to the front desk where I was given the total of over $170. I asked what this was for. Just the consultation and 1 week of antibiotics. I asked how much the antibiotics are. $103 I told the vet that that is ridicules and I have never had to pay this amount for medication before. I asked if there was anything else I could have. Dale came over and tried to explain that these are very strong antibiotics and if I can pay for them the next day. I explained that it's not that I can not afford this but I won't pay that when I know it's not necessary. I was then charged the consultation fee and $30.60 for a single tablet that Dale had given my dog without even asking or quoting me for. I then drove my dog to a different vet where in just a few minutes I was told what was wrong with her, why it had happened and what we need to do in the future, how and what costs I would be looking at. This was a vet that has never seen my dog before and had no medical history for her. This vet prescribed a course of antibiotics within seconds of me being there and explained that these are the best to treat soft tissue infection. Consultation and medication for $60. I will never go back to Thornton Veterinary Clinic. I have dealt with far too many vets having an older dog with cancer who is now prone to different problems and it is infuriating how many vets have zero compassion and only see $$$$. Not to mention having someone stare at your groin rather than your face. 😡
