If I could give no stars I would. I never even made it to the office. I called 2 times. First time it seemed as though I was bothering her and she had no time for me. I gave my number she said she would have to call back. The whole day went by before I even got a phone call back. The second time I called I wanted to get some information about services and pricing. And right away I was told they weren't accepting any other clients. Very rude unprofessional.

Cortland Animal Hospital has recently lost a significant amount of their staff and this has impacted their ability to care for their patients. I am editing my original review to show how much respect we had for Cortland in the past compared to now. They have been unable to provide services for months. Whenever I have called for an appointment they have said "we will have to call you back". They do not call back, I have had to call back weekly to receive the same response of "we will call you back". I personally do not believe that I should have to harass my vet to get an appointment.

Have had very disappointing interactions with them every time. Feels like they are more interested in their bottom line than they are for their patients. Staff answering phones and greeting as you walk in were rude and condescending. Will not be back.

I understand that there is a backup for appointments. I scheduled mine in December from October of last year. They canceled and then I rescheduled for today May 11th. I waited in my car for forty minutes after calling to check in for a two twenty appointment. Then two hours later called that he was ready and then to come to the front door once I called and was told to do this I waited for fifteen minutes and nothing. So I entered the front door got yelled at that it was closed while someone was in the waiting room with their dog, and my credit card was not working to call them and then walk them

Ive liked the vets and vet techs, but lately whoever is answering the phone is very unprofessional and doesnt seem to know how to schedule an appointment. She asked for my name and number and said shed get back to me when she figured out when an appointment is available. Its been a week and she still hasnt figured it out.

Your first impression of an office, is who answers the phone. There is one extremely rude, blunt, unapologetic receptionist that works there. She has worked there, since I've taken my dog there for the past 3 years. I only continue coming back, cuz my dog has grown comfortable with the office. She's the older lady and doesn't give out her name. Every single time my dog needs to come in, I dread talking to her. Her poor behavior with patients is unbelievable and she shouldn't be allowed to continue with her rude attitude. The rest of the staff are wonderful.

I called about my dog getting very sick and they were very rude to my wife and I. They didn't ask any questions about our dog all they were concerned about was money and if we had papers for our dog. They did this to our other dog as well we brought her they said her gums were pink so nothing they can do,they sent her home with us and she died shortly after.
