My wife brought our 2-year-old cat here for what appeared to be an upper respiratory issue. He was sneezing, coughing, and had some minor watering of the eyes. After examining our cat and listening to my wife describe these symptoms, Dr. Blakeley concluded that our cat had an eye infection (huh?) and required an expensive ophthalmic ointment. I’ve had eye infections and have had pets with them; there was literally nothing that would have led a reasonable person (never mind a doctor), to this conclusion. None-the-less that’s what she came up with.
This seemed so inappropriate to me that I called a veterinary friend of mine, described the symptoms and he immediately concluded that it was almost certainly the cat-equivalent of a cold, and virtually eliminated the possibility that any sort of ophthalmic ointment would have been appropriate. He said that the ocular system cannot drain into the sinus system, but the reverse can happen. Bottom line, there’s no way Dr. Blakeley’s diagnosis was correct.
So now the real issue. I called and spoke with Dr. Blakely and thoughtfully and respectfully expressed my concern about her diagnosis. She agreed that it was probably a respiratory issue. She even stated that she put a dye into the cat’s eye and saw no evidence of any sort of eye issue. So, I suggested that she credit us back for the $98.15 worth of unnecessary ophthalmic ointment. She said that we had already taken it from their clinic so she wouldn’t take it back. Of course the only reason we took it from her clinic was because she failed to properly diagnose the issue. Also… when my wife went to pay the bill they tried to charge her the full amount of the visit plus-plus, even though she had prepaid for the appointment over the phone hours earlier, since that’s what they require for a first-time visit. The doctor also recommended that my wife purchase a $153 cat monitor that we didn’t need any more than the ophthalmic ointment. Fortunately, my wife didn’t buy it.
So… caveat emptor if you walk into this clinic! They don’t appear to know the basics of veterinary medicine, but they do know how to sell stuff, and they’ll stand behind their misdiagnosis and excessive charges to the end.
