Complaint Review: Helping Hands Affordable Veterinary Surgery And Dental Care

The co-founder Lori Pasternak has made many major mistakes with surgeries in the past. She was only fined $1000 in August 2016 by the Veterinary Board for 1) June 2012 - amputated the wrong leg of a cat because she did not look at the xray first; 2) April 1, 2014, administered anesthesia even though the presurgery blood test showed significant abnormal kidney function; 3) April 8, 2014, did the same thing that she did on April 1, 2014; 4) July 2014 failed to close a wound properly after amputating a cat's leg. Dr. Pasternak did not dispute these accusations. Seems to me that she should have lost her license. As for my personal experience, the vet made major mistakes and charged me for them. They actually charged me for their mistakes. I don't want to give the details right now about my situation because I will be filing a complaint with the Vet Board and maybe with consumer protection too since they should not charge people for their mistakes.
