Disappointing my dog had been there for checkup and everything was fine. Then one day he developed a heart condition…500$ for X-rays as he had a enlarged heart and wasnt breathing correctly, next was a sonogram for 350-450 to see damage but no medicine given to dog until sonogram…meanwhile doctor left and I was assigned another one, dog had fluid in lungs and trouble breathing but no meds til sonogram. I agree to sonogram and the price goes from 350 to 890$$$ because this is company policy according to doctors…I refuse so dog gets no meds. I go to a new vet hospital and the doctor puts dogs on meds immediately, then says dont really need the sonogram as he has a heart condition and will need the meds anyway, New doctor says dog doesnt really need the sonogram and probably wont live long because heart valves are leaking. He said if we did sonogram 300$ he would know exactly where the problem was so I did. Meds settled the dog down a lot but all I could think about is how my dog was suffering while the EIAH squeezed me for cash. …Doctors and staff were nice enough at this hospital but they dont own the business only work there and decisions about your dogs health becomes a company decision….

I have been here an unhapppy with the service for 3+ years but continued .because I thought it was probably the same all over. Never saw the same Dr. Twice; they try to sell you unecessary procedures and Dr.s have unproffessional Know it all attitudes. Girls in front office Friendly and nice. But it stops their!! Just spent $500 plus for simple X-rays/ which Dr. took several more to Ballon Bill. Then wouldnt let me have them! to share with my dogs Breeder. If you want your animal to have a good Dr. whom really cares about your animal and will not over sell you unecessary things.Stay away from here. Poor bed side manor at high prices!!!BUYER BEWARE YOUR animal is only a $$$$$$$$ to these Doctors and the Parent company.

My animals have been seeing Dr. Mac & EIAH for decades. Theyre always happy and healthy. Dr. MacDonald and Dr. Oddo know all of my (seven!) pets by sight and know their case histories by memory. Im very happy.

Have seen 2 of the Vets and we are happy to have their knowledge to help care for our dog. A 12 yr old Dane/Lab needs all the love he can get - and the payment plan is terrific! So glad were found them.
