Barnside Veterinary Hospital

Doctor Sharin at Barnside is professional, caring and very knowledgeable. Your pet will be given excellent treatment in a state of the art facility. I've been going there for over 4 years with my 2 dogs and I'm very pleased with the service from the doctor and all of the staff. They are all very attentive and sincere. I put a lot of faith in the reviews I read when selecting a service so I'm always truthful when I repay the favor.

Although the hospital is very nice looking and inviting, I cannot say the same for the staff. After waiting 1/2 hour to be seen by the doctor - Dr.Weltner-Sharin came in with a 'matter of fact' attitude. She proceeds to do the exam, administers a shot and excused herself to get flea/tick medication. After waiting a few more minutes, in walks a technician to give my cat her first dosage of medication. THE TECH SHOULD HAVE LEARNED HOW TO READ FIRST - BEFORE PUTTING ON MEDICATION! She placed the medication incorrectly on the cat's shoulder - not at the base of her neck * (there are pictures and instructions as to where medication is to be placed inside every box )* Needless to say, a few hours later the cat is at home starts to clean herself and got a ' taste of medicine' ! She started to salivate excessively, running throughtout the house - she was obviously effected by the medication. We called the Emergency Hot Line # listed on the medication box. They CONFIRMED the medication was placed INCORRECTLY and to give the cat a bath and wait one week and then reapply. I called the very next day to express my dissappointment with their service. And Dr.Sharin's only response " Sorry your unhappy with our service, we'll be happy to send the cat's records to another hospital". I would NEVER recommend this vet / hospital to anyone!!
