Everyone else was great, very friendly except the phone receptionist was rude to both my husband & I on numerous occasions like iI www am such an inconvenience To answer any of my questions & do her job. If this weren’t the only ER for my furbaby, id def go elsewhere to not be treated so rudely.

I saw Dr. Blumer on Monday for my Hailey who was suffering loss of appetite, lethargy, and a swollen abdomen. He quickly came up with a diagnostic plan and let me know that we were dealing with a very serious problem. After bloodwork, aspiration of the abdominal fluid, xrays, and an ultrasound he was able to give me the grave diagnosis of cancer that had metastasized to her liver and spleen. He recommended enjoying the time we had left with her. I could feel his compassion for myself and my beautiful Hailey (13 year old Beagle). I brought her home and luckily we are still enjoying her today. I thank you for your knowledge, expertise, and compassion. We will enjoy the time we have left. I appreciate your help at such a difficult time.

Hello,
I would like to respond to Renee M. and Daniel F. To start, I have been a client of Dr. Blumer for YEARS and he is absolutely wonderful and has saved my animals! I have nothing but great things to say about him and how knowledgeable he is.

Renee M., I understand losing your best friend is extremely difficult! I have lost many along the years and it never gets easier. That being said, I am sorry for your loss. However, in Dr. Blumer's defense, you have to put all patients in a "Green" bag because that is how Greenbrier knows your patient is private cremation (where you receive the ashes back in a cedar box). It does resemble a garbage back, but that is Greenbrier requirements.

Daniel F., I understand your angry because you lost your best friend but I that isn't Dr. Blumer's fault. Your patient had a hurt leg... That is so common and why would you need to run bloodwork (cost = $250) for a pulled muscle. Your best friend clearly had other medical problems underlining a hurt leg. Did you have annual blood work done at your regular vet? EVC is an emergency center! They are not there to take all your money and do annual check-ups. Deramaxx is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. This doesn't effect the liver or kidney. I am sorry to tell you that your patient passed away for another reason and you were angry so wanted some one to blame for it. As your post said, you came into EVC for a hurt leg and Dr. Blumer treated your patient exactly how any great Doctor would...with anti-inflammatory/pain medication.

These people are the worst. The reception staff is unbelievably rude and uncompassionate. Phil Blumer, the vet who examined my dog, Manny, is a complete lowlife. I took Manny in on a Saturday with an injured leg. Blumer diagnosed him with a pulled muscle and prescribed Deramaxx. Unfortunately, this incompetent fool failed to do bloodwork to ensure that this medication wouldn t cause my dog s liver and kidneys to shut down; therefore, my beloved friend and companion of ten years dropped dead in front of me four days later. When I confronted this blundering nitwit about his mistake, he made the outrageous claim that he was not responsible for the drugs he prescribes, but rather the drug manufacturer bears the responsibility. Evidently he has been practicing for a long time, but he has clearly lost his passion for animal care. If my dog had never seen Blumer he would still be alive. Be sure your doctor is smart enough to do bloodwork before prescribing NSAIDs, and avoid this idiot at all costs. (Obviously, if it were possible to give this imbecile zero stars, I would.)

I was told my dog needed life saving emergency surgery -- after approving a $1300 precedure the incompetent vet on duty called and told me that she was mistaken and the surgery wasn't neccessary after all. The next day when I went to pick my dog up, my bill was $300 more than I approved and the current vet on duty said that he felt the previous vet was very hasty in performing the surgery. I then took my dog in for a follow-up to my normal vet. Again, she was shocked the surgery was ever done. I went to speak with the office manager regarding the issue and was treated rudely and spoken down to. Now today I find out that I owed more money -- which I NEVER received an invoice for -- and it has been sent to collections!! It's is incredible that a business is able to take advantage of people like this! I love my dog dearly and would spend anything to save him -- IF it was necessary. This place is scamming people.

the emergency vet clinic is so clean you can eat off the floors, all the staff are extensively trained and the prices are really cheap, considering you can't get a bag of fluids and an aspirin in an emergency human clinic for under 4,000.00.

Incompetency, unnecessary testing, overpriced, rudeness, dirty facility and did I mention ridiculously overpriced. They charged $700.00+ to tell me there was nothing wrong with my dog other than an upset stomach (incompetence). I kept an animal for three days at a facility in Alabama that was half dead from being attacked by a large dog and it did cost this much. But, they are the only game in town after hours so they stick it to you!!! Just be aware that you may have to take out a loan if you must use this place. These people are nuts.
