Dr. Hall expects you to follow his advice slavishly without researching anything on your own or informing yourself independently. When I brought my now 16 month old German Shepherd dog in yesterday, he got angry (and told me so) when he found out that I didnt give my pup Ivermectin last year when he suspected (from a phone conversation) that my pup may have s. mange. I explained that I was concerned about seizures and wanted a genetic test, but then the "mange symptoms" dissapated. He said angrily, "You think Id give your dog something that would give him seizures?!" Im sorry, but I research every medication I give my dogs. Vets arent perfect. Last year he suspected that the high quality commercial raw diet I feed my dogs may have contributed to my pups Pano symptoms. I did not agree, and continued feeding the raw diet. The pano went away after a few days of treatment with vitamin c and never returned. He was angry about this as well, when he found out yesterday, even though the problem was resolved long ago. I told him I googled an over the counter product to clean my dogs ears. He got angry that I looked for information on the internet. I was flabbergasted by his angry attitude. After he nastily interrogated me in his office, he stormed out and I overheard him mocking me to his technician for not taking his ivermectin advice (though he now agrees my dog doesnt have mange) and for looking on the internet for information. He also twice shoved my dogs head away when my dog politely sniffed his leg when he entered the room. Maybe he was having a bad day, but he wont be having any more on my dime. I walked out.

First, let me say that Google forced me to join yet another of their idiotic services before I could post this. Suffice it to say, I am not John Smith. I have taken my two, very dearly loved miniature Poodles to Pet Vet for many years, starting in about 2004 or so immediately after the Columbia Animal Hospital did their best to kill one of my girls. I have found both doctors Hall and Kaplan to work to the highest standards. They are honest and completely forthcoming in recommending specialists when needed. They have never suggested more than the most conservatively safe approaches. When bad situations occur, they are on top of it and offer you informed choices. They do not rush you or pressure you in any manner. One of my beautiful girls is dying of cancer now, and they have been correct diagnostically and guided me to the best experts in the area. You can rely on these doctors. I have read a few other reviews and I am astonished at the few negative ones. I suppose it is easy to not understand or to fail to take accountability for ones decisions, but I sincerely doubt that either of these doctors ever became angry with an owner unless the owner richly deserved the reprimand. I find it not believable that they would insist on any procedure that is not needed. They always explain the range of choices I face, and only make strong recommendations when I ask for their best advice. I am a Ph.D. research engineer in biotech. I do not fool easily. These doctors care for the two creatures I love the most in this world, and I trust them.

I brought my cat in because he was vomitting and itching. They told me to let them do explorative surgery ($1,000). They cut my cats stomach open and looked around, did not find anything, and then after I pay them the money they tell me it was just a common food allergy and tell me I have to start buying some special food from them that costs $60 a bag. My cat went through a tremendous amount of pain and major surgery for a food allergy??? And no, they never apologized or admitted to negligence in any way. Terrible doctors. Do NOT go there. Seem very greedy and dont seem to care about the welfare of the animals as much as you would expect.

Dr. Caplan and Dr. Hall are two of the best Veterinarians we have ever had. Their number one goal is the care and comfort of your pet and it is highly evident with the questions they ask and the way they treat your pet. We have been going to them since 2005 when we lived in Columbia. We have since moved further away but continue to go to them because of the trust we have for Dr. Caplan and Dr. Hall. I feel like it is more than business as usual with PetVet. They truly want the best for our pets.

I was recommended to Pet Vet by 3 other people at my work who bring there dogs there, all are happy with this vet. Both Drs. Caplan and Hall are great in explaining things to you about your dog and typically follow up a couple days after a sick visit to make sure everything is going okay. I have never had to wait for an appointment, typically just walk right in at my appointment time and they are ready to see my dog. I would strongly recommend Pet Vet.

I feel safe taking my pets to Dr. Caplan and Dr. Hall. They take their time and ask many questions. My extended family takes their pets here as well, we all have the same impression. Also, if required, a full range of treatment options are presented with all trade-offs explained. Finally, the techs and front office folks are friendly and knowledgeable as well. I learn things every time I come here.

I LOVED THIS PLACE! We took all our dogs and cats to Dr Kaplan and Dr Hall for years and I couldnt have been happier. Sadly, we moved out of state a few years ago and we have not found another vet like these guys. I literally cried at our last vet visit because I knew we were losing something great. Highly recommend.

Phenomenal service. Everyone on the staff is extremely nice and very professional. You really feel like everyone is there to help you out, especially the doctors. They take the time to really go through every treatment option to find the best solution for you.

We have taken our dog Belle to PET VET since 2005 when she was a pup. They are patient, thorough, prompt and efficient, a great combination. Many of our neighbors take their pets there and have always been pleased.

I really appreciate the time the vet took to examine our dog. He did a thorough check, was very informative regarding follow up and just genuinely cared. His staff is really great also. Very flexible on scheduling.
