First let me point out... Upon walking in, a document is shoved in my face with big bold letters. HOW MUCH ARE YOU WILLING TO SPEND TO SAVE YOUR PET. They want a number so they can charge you that amount. I will never go to this place again! After receiving a drug from another emergency vet the same night, my dog immediately started panting and having problems breathing. Instead of taking her back to the vet who gave her a medication she should not have had bc of a heart murmur, I took her here.
First thing they ask is for $1000 up front fee. I believe they knew she was going to die when they initially assessed her. Instead of telling me this. They sent me home. Had I stayed at least she could have died in my arms. Or been put to sleep while in my comfort. In my belief this was a money issue. I get home and the doctor calls. Dr. Katherine Kramer. I'll get to her in a minute.. She asked me if I would like to put her on a breathing machine. She would have to be anesthetized. Again, not a good call for a dog with a heart condition.
I told her absolutely no! Why would I put her at even more risk? After I tell her I don't want to do that, she calls back 10 minutes later to say my baby girl passed. They knew she was going to die, but instead of letting her die in my arms they gave me false hope, so I leave her there to rack up the bill. This doctor clearly saw dollar signs. Do yourself a favor if you go here. Don't carry in a designer bag, or Mercedes keychain in there either. That's when their heads start spinning with dollar signs. As for Dr. Katie Kramer, DVM.
I have never met anyone so smug in my life. Her elitist attitude was so disgusting. Perhaps some weight loss might help, with her self esteem and need to try appear more intelligent. And btw she has NO SPECIAL TRAINING. she's just a regular vet with no ethics. I am in the most pain I've ever felt. This place didn't help and I would not ever go back there. My dog was there for less than 3 hours. And they charged me $1000. Dr. Katherine Kramer, DVM you are a disgusting human being. You have no business being a Vet as you clearly only care about money! I do hope that karma finds its way to you.
Both of my primary care vets read over these reports and BOTH have said they would have suggested euthanasia. Instead, my little dog suffered by suffocating to death, alone. Without the comfort of

Dr. Katie Kramer DVM AKA Dr. Katherine Kramer DVM let my dog suffer. I brought in my little dog and that beast, Dr Katie knew she was going to die. ( I found this out from my primary care vet later) instead, she put her on oxygen and sent me home. All so she could run up my bill! She changes locations a lot. I’ve heard she even changes her name. WTF? This facility is disgusting and if you love your pet, do not go here! My poor baby died alone, without me holding her, just so these idiots could run up my bill!

Watch out people, this Cow now works for a facility in Aniheim CA. Have no idea how she can call herself a emergency Vet, bc she has NO SPECIAL TRAINING! Dr. Katie Kramer DVM, I hope karma finds its way to your cold compassionless heart!
