I agree with Kendra on this one. I had an appointment scheduled a week ago to see whichever vet is available because the one I liked left the clinic. When I got there we had to wait 20 extra minutes past the scheduled appointment time. A vet tech finally came out to take my kitty back for bloodwork and subcutaneous fluids but I never got to see a vet to discuss her symptoms and my concerns. Got a call the next day from this vet but missed the call. The voicemail left was direct about her results but gave generic responses as to what decisions I have. When I was finally able to get on the phone with Dr. Rucker he was curt, distracted (I could hear him typing while I talked), and lacked compassion. It did not seem as though he cared at all about my questions and did little good to help me understand what my cat was going through. I inevitably made the call that my gut and my own knowledge told me was best but would have appreciated some empathy, kindness and a bit of concern from an expert in pets.

We took her for an assessment at Broadview Animal Clinic. Weve taken our pets there for the last 14 years. Theyre cheap and no nonsense. So I took her for a quality of life assessment because shes fifteen and a half.
This vet came in, didnt say hi, and asked about her symptoms. When I listed them off, he said, youve got two choices. You can do blood work and get her on arthritis medication or we can put her down right now. I said Im not ready to put her down and asked if shes really ready. He said it was my choice. Thats all. No compassion, no inspection of the dog, just kept rudely repeating that its my choice. When I said I needed to wait for my husband, he said thats your choice and walked out. Ill never go back there again.

Took my dog in as an emergency for bloat and was told to go somewhere else because they can't help me . I did and thank God she survived. But I have 2nd thoughts on Broadview.
