Report
My father took his cat who is elderly to this veterinary practice with symptoms of weight loss, vomiting, sinus issues and lethargy. They first stated that they couldn't do a urinalysis on him claiming that his bladder was too small and expected my father to try to get one at home and bring it in, which is near impossible to do. Secondly, they diagnosed him with an upper respiratory infection and a small case of gingivitis and gave him some antibiotics then sent him on his way, without also scheduling a follow up. The issue continued after this and when my father went to ask for another appointment

Report
Came here on word of mouth, in 2018 when my husky Akasha was suffering with a growth on her side. We had been going to our previous vet, for roughly 8 months and for 8 months they told us it was a lipoma..nothing to worry about. Problem was, it started off as the size of an egg, and ended up being 12lbs of cancerous tumor Dr. Mike took off merely three weeks after meeting us. Not only was he genuinely kind, and loving towards our pup he genuinely cared about our plight with the previous vet. Sadly, even with his miraculous intervention Akasha passed away a few months later. We're sure had we taken

When our dog tore his nail and was bleeding we could not get in at the vet we had been seeing so we called and made him an appointment at Mahoning Valley. We were able to schedule relatively quick. The staff was very friendly and explained what they were going/did do as well as what may have caused the problem and the further testing that needed to be done.
