Complaint Review: Emergency Pet Hospital

I had the unfortunate experience of going to this place for help for my cat. As soon as you walk thru the door you are charged $100. Then you sit and wait to see if he will see your animal to make sure you are going to pay for services. If there is any doubt to this you will be turned away. I spent more time doing this than the actual time he saw my cat. I already knew what was wrong with my cat as I am a former veterinary assistant. I knew the nature of my cats affliction, urinary tract blockage, was serious and life threatening. The doctor knew this as well and took advantage of the situation immediately telling me it was going to cost $1200-$1500 to help my cat and $300 just for the blood work. I was astonished and could not believe it and as soon as he figured out I wasn't going to pay that his whole demeanor changed. He is heartless and not in this business for the welfare of animals. I told him this and he became extremely enraged and actually verbally abused me trying to belittle me. I told him he is the reason I never pursued becoming a vet myself. I have worked for doctors like him and it's ALL about the money! Now my beloved pet was left high and dry and the money I wasted there I no longer have to take him to a COMPETENT vet. The outcome for my cat is grim. Dr. Mohammed  Hassan, Mark Hassan? Whoever you are, I am going to tell as many people I can about your immoral ways of practicing veterinary medicine. You are a shame to have the honor of D.V.M. You don't deserve it and I would really like to see what school you studied at. You take advantage of people in desperate situations and have absolutely no thought to the welfare of any animal. Word of Mouth goes a long way. I hope you go out of business. I will be following you around and making sure people are aware of you! I am not done with you yet.
