Dr. Jeff Feinman Veterinarian Weston Connecticut
This Veterinarian advertises that he is 'homeopathic' and 'holistic.'
He was neglectful, arrogant, negligent, abusive in every way.
my beloved pet had kidney failure and I took the time to have an appointment that would hopefully get my baby on sub-q fluids and some good, natural modalities.
This horrible Veterinarian did absolutely nothing and wrongly told me that "sub-q does not work" and therefore he would not get me started on this protocol.
I spent a lot of money with this horrible man and was dismissed whenever I tried to call with my concerns. Often times he would make me feel guilty for bothering him and would always be in a rush to get off the phone. Often, he was outright rude and curt.
After waiting on this horrible man to do something responsible, I finally rushed my baby to an emergency vet who hooked my beloved up onto an IV and was in total shock that any veterinarian would disagree with sub-q for a kidney patient.
I believe strongly that the incompetence that we endured from this horrible veterinarian caused my baby to be dehydrated for way too long. I believe that this lessened her chances for survival.
Thankfully, a better veterinarian group had given the IV and sub-q that was needed, but she died within a few weeks.
This was the most harrowing time of my life.
I depended on the utmost professionalism of someone I was paying to help us, but this horrible veterinarian could have cared less and actually gave very irresponsible, and wrong advice.
When I called this horrible vet to tell him that his bad advice caused me such heartache, I was given an onslaught of obscenities over the phone with yelling. He yelled that I had "failed" my beloved pet and this was all of MY fault!
Unbelievable and corrupt behavior came out of that horrible vets mouth. The ugly side to this man that I had suspected was now out in full throttle.
I have spoken to several vets about this incident as well as a few Vet Schools in the area [where they give grievance counseling] and they were equally appalled at the terrible behavior of this irresponsible and abusive man who calls himself a veterinarian.
All animal lovers please be aware that just because someone advertises, and puts together a PR campaign with slick web sites, etc., that says they are "holistic" or anything else that is supposed to be cutting edge or even remotely caring, please have a healthy skepticism.
Check everyone out thoroughly and ALWAYS get a second or third opinion if someone or something does not seem right.
Consumers be aware and come together to demand responsible health care.

Ok, I think the problem here is in expectations. Do NOT go to a homeopathic vet if you want traditional veterinary care, such as sub-q fluids. You go to a traditional, western, allopathic vet for that. You go to a homeopath for HOMEOPATHIC remedies to help support and heal your dog. These won't be quick fixes, but will take time to help the body heal itself from a lifetime of assaults from pollution, vaccinations, flea/tick preventatives, poor diet, etc. These things lead to chronic ill health which will manifest as "diseases" like kidney failure, but the kidney failure is just a symptom of a deeper underlying illness that a trained homeopath will analyze and prescribe an appropriate remedy based on your dogs history and symptoms. Just like you wouldn't take your dog to a veterinary opthamologist for a broken leg, don't go to a homeopathic vet expecting "traditional" veterinary treatment.
As to the insults and accusations, I can't really comment on that having never met Dr. Feinman (I plan on taking my new rescue in to him shortly) but I do have several friends who use him and are VERY happy with the successful treatment he has given to their dogs. This poster seems to have plenty of anger herself, so whatever unpleasant exchanges may have taken place between her and Dr. Feinman were probably equally her fault. I can certainly understand her being upset about the death of her dog, but the level of this vendetta (calling other vets and vet schools to complain) seems rather suspicious.....
