We were extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with the hospital's ER service and crew between mid-December 2021 and early January 2022. In fact, our beloved dog, Rocky, passed away at the hospital after a series of three emergency visits. It all started on 12/15 when Rocky was diagnosed with diabetes. On 12/30, we brought him in again given his too high glucose levels, when the hospital's staff showed us two options: either get him hospitalized or put him down, due to his severe conditions. Then they offered us an option of a 48-hour hospitalization that would cost us almost USD 10

I normally believe if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it at all. However, in a world where mental health is quite an issue in humans, that taking the dog is a big part of equation for vets but not the whole picture. I brought my dog in at 12am December 20, 2021. I know my dog had a bad week of not taking his meds so he was showing signs of CHF . He has been in heart failure protocol for a year in half but he was a strong boy. I Just wanted them to treat him and give him a chance. Now I was basically in shock and felt paralyzed bc this was my baby. I felt I was

On a cold rainy night our cat had blood after he used the restroom. MLAH was equal distance to another animal hospital my gf used typically. However due to wait times, we chose to come to MLAH. When you walk in, you're taken back by how big the tree is in the middle of the lobby. The friendly staff within minutes had someone to take our cat to the back to be examined. While we waited we saw at least a dozen or more pet owners come through the doors. They all experienced the same thing. A friendly greeting, followed by someone taking their pet to the back. The nurse tending to our cat called

Drove from Washington township to MLAH with my dog who was having trouble breathing. I walked into the "EMERGENCY" section and explained that my dog was having trouble breathing, hadn't ate or drank in 24 hours and threw up vile earlier that morning. The receptionist told me they were slammed and that she would call the back and see if they could see us. She hung up the phone and said no I'm sorry, but there's another hospital up the road. I took my distressed dog to the other hospital up the road. It turned out the dog was in heart failure, suffering tremendously, and

An update to my previous review. I was able to get my female cat spayed @ PAWS Greys Ferry a few days after my Mt. Laurel visit.... Here, she was pregnant. The incompetent staff @ Mt. Laurel told me she was bloated and most likely had worms, and encouraged me to buy a topical de-wormer. Seriously ?? Just a money grubbing place that shows little care for pets. I am also highly doubting the competency of your so-called vets. What an utter disgrace.

I brought my beloved kitty Puddin in for an exam because I noticed a tooth that looked painful. Dr. Haymaker examined him, went over his history and a plan for treatment, and scheduled us for a dental as soon as he could within his busy schedule. While performing the dental he found three more painful teeth that he was able to repair which I am so thankful for since my boy must be so much more comfortable now! I made some special requests for Puddin's care during his dental and Dr. Haymaker and his team made sure to accommodate my requests which made me feel even more at ease. My kitty was
