Complaint Review: Winters Chapel Animal Hospital - Dr. AJ Silverman DVM

Being a dog breeder and selling puppies, why do you find it necessary to lie to a customer about an injury. You are proving that you are unethical in your business and want to pass the blame on someone else because you got caught in a lie. Clean up your act. You are one of the reasons dog breeders get a bad name.

Would you happen to be the same person who has filed several reports on here; 423161 and 382979 among others? There is also a rubber banded doxy involved if you follow along the internet in those reports as well as the original poster responding as a friend or friends, but later responding as herself (under the 'friends' name). I would just like to know if this is June again at this point being the stories and posts seem similar or related. Or if they are completely unrelated.

I can't believe these people are just so nasty!! Do they not have anything better to do than try to ruin reputations of good people. I have worked here for over 10 years, I was here with that Dachshund I saw the horrible wounds inflicted on it by the dog's owner I was there when the new owner said the old owner lied about the dog's injury. You should have been turned in for cruelty to animals and weren't, you should be thankful to us for that. We healed your dog!! How ungrateful and sick are you?

First off, my friend that made this report is not the only one that has a gruge against this animal hostpital and the STUPID VETS that own this animal hospital. I have done research on this animal hospital and have found that another person that used to use this animal hospital is not at all happy with them.

Overall premise of situation: Cat was throwing up night before for several hours. He was just put on Thyroid medicene by the Dr about a week prior which wasn't reacting well to him. So I took him in for a look at to see if the medicene was right strength. Not to run 15 other additional tests when he was a healthy cat before the thyroid medicene was prescribed. Situation and results: Winters Chapel and Dr. Nachamkin ran unauthorized tests (after getting off the phone with us and telling us no extra work would be taken because it would be a waste and nothing was likely to show) that ranked up a $300 bill. When I called to speak to the Dr about his choice of testing and authorization he proceeded to raise his voice and say I was questioning his skills as a Dr. I explained I wasn't but didn't give him a blank check for my cat services (especially when he A) had extra work 6 weeks prior all turn out to say he was a perfect cat and B) he said he appeared to be just fine in the office that morning and had not thrown up etc so he would give him IV and anti-nausea medicene and monitor him). So of course, I was shocked to see a $300 bill for bl*od work etc. He argued his rights to do what he wanted and then said he would take the charges off with a refunded check. I said thank you as I think that the panel ordered was out of line for the symptoms and past extra work of 6 weeks ago, He then yelled you will get your records back too and Hung up on me. That was uncalled for and unmature. Especially for a man of his age and practice discipline. Overall rating: I rate him with one- star. There is another Dr there that I have seen, a woman and she was pleasant. So I limit my review to him. But, there are many places out here and you seem to see whomever they give you so if the odds are you might see him, I would go somewhere else.

This review was left by another very dissatisfied client of Winters Chapel Animal Hospital. I agree with A.Hunter and my friend that made this report. This vet CAN'T be trusted at all. I am well aware that he has done this to several other people.

I am a client of Winters Chapel Animal Hospital and all of our dogs have always been taken there...and received excellent care! We began going to this vet years ago when we purchased a puppy that had parvo. We were told by another animal hospital that he couldn't be saved and needed to be put to sleep, however we decided to get a second opinion. Luckily, we chose Winters Chapel. Our little puppy's illness was treated agrressively and I am happy to say he came home after a few days! I can't say enough about what it means when you are told your pet is too sick and cannot be saved, but to then find a vet that cares enough to fight to save them. And I do NOT understand why you would be upset about the release of your dogs medical history to someone that YOU are selling the dog to....it sounds as though you are trying to put blame on the Dr. when you are the one that appears to have been trying to mislead the buyer of your dog. It is not uncommon for someone buying a dog to want previous medical info....and a honest seller would have no problem with it!

I am a friend of the person that made this report. I have been excellent friends with the person that filled this report for 5 and a 1/2 years now. She told me all about this veterinarian and how he violated her and her pet's privacy. This goes to show that this veterinarian does not care who's reputation he ruins nor does he care about who he hurts. This shows just how evil and vindictive he is. This also shows that that he cannot in anyway be trusted at all whatsoever. This also proves that he is not a good veterinarian. I am a very strong believer in the saying "what comes around, goes around" and I know that this veterinarian will get just what he deserves and just what is to come to him soon. This veterinarian not only violated the trust and privacy of one of his clients, but also proved what a real blabber mouth that he truly is!! His web site says that he provides his clients and patients with excellent service, well that is just BULLS***!! The person that filed this report has been a wonderful, loving, and caring dog owner ever since she had gotten her first puppy at 13. My friend always goes out of her way to make sure that all of her dogs are well taken care of, spoiled rotten, happy, and healthy 24/7.

I believe I know who this former client was as they were"a breeder of Dachshunds", unfortunately they did not leave their name. One of her dachshund's was presented to our Hospital with a rubber band around her muzzle. The rubber band had been placed on several days ago and caused severe deep lacerations around the dog's muzzle. The pup was treated for several day and responded well to treatment. The "Breeder" sold the pup and told the new owner that the lacerations were caused by a bite wound. The new owner took the pup to their veterinarian and their Vet call our office because she did not agree what was told to the new owner regarding the injury to the pup. We confirmed that a rubber band had cause the injury to the pup's muzzle. I have been in practice for over 30 years and have never had a situation like this one. I have worked very hard for the care and health of our four legged friends. I am suprised that this Web Site did not check on the information before allowing these false statement to go on the internet
