I wish I could give Barton Height negative stars! After being clients for over 5 years we brought our sick kitten in on Sunday for an emergency visit and cannot believe the horrid, uncompassionate way we were treated! Dr.Franklin was rude, inconsiderate and went even so far as to lie to my husband. My baby needed surgery to save his life. They quoted us $3900 and refused to do the surgery without payment upfront. I don't know about you, but I do not have easy access to nearly $4000 on a Sunday night and my baby ended up losing his life! DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMALS HERE! They do not care about the animals, only extorting you for every dime you have!

This place is terrible. After my experience with Barton Heights, I would never trust them with a beloved pet. They are completely overpriced, cold and unfeeling, and the doctor that I dealt with s incompetent and misdiagnosed my cat twice and apparently doesn't know how to read a sonogram. My cat was vomiting excessively and she was having seizures. First, the doctor misdiagnosed her with FIV, and I left devastated because he never bothered to tell me that a previous FIV vaccination would always indicate a false positive result. After many visits there and one wrong diagnosis after another, the doctor did a sonogram and told me that he didn't find anything in her abdomen. He told me that he did a very thorough and extensive ultrasound and that there was no evidence of cancer and that I should have an MRI of the brain done to check for a possible tumor. Five days later, I took her to a different vet that preformed the same sonogram, and, lo and behold, she has intestional lymphoma that had spread to her liver. I'm not a doctor, but I would find it highly unlikely that the cancer would not show up on the previous sonogram.  Her prognosis is still bleak, but I wouldn't have spent $2000 on the MRI if the "doctor" had been competent enough to find the cancer with his "high tech equipment" in the first place, not to mention the additional $1600 that I threw away by going to this practice in the first place. Not to mention that when I called to speak to the "doctor" about this, he became irate, told me that I had two minutes, and then hung up on me. The practice brags about their "state of the art equipment," then Dr. Sean Ott told me that their equipment is outdated and that is why he read the sonogram wrong, so which is it?  Apparently, your money is not going to fund the "state of the art equipment." Rather, it is funding their annual staff Christmas party at the Stroudsmoor Inn.  You can see the photos on their Facebook page, if they don't choose to take it down now by virtue of my review. Buyer beware; this is the worst vet that I have ever been to.

while this place is clean, i'll give them that it's a complete rip off otherwise! made an appt for our dog, whose right side of his face and eye was swollen shut out of the blue overnight. he had no prior signs of anything wrong with him the night before. we get there, the dr. barely opens our dogs mouth and says it's an abscess and they need to anesthetize him and do xrays and "explore" his teeth, cost=$1,300, needless to say we left. made an appt for later in the day at Blakeslee vet and as soon as the dr. walked in the room he said "something bit him", examined him and concluded it's a spider bite! $70 total for an office visit, steroid shot and take home meds, that's a huge difference from the $1,300 that Barton Heights quoted and wrong diagnosis to boot! please don't go to this place, go anywhere but Barton Heights!

My husky was sick and had to be put to sleep. She was on my deck and could not walk, whenever we tried to get her in she would snap at us. It was Christmas weekend, I was on the internet and the phone for 4 hours. I called Barton Heights Sunday Morning. They told me to bring my dog in, but I couldn't. Debbie who works at Barton Heights, called me often during the day to see how my dog and I were doing. When I told her that I could not get anybody to come to my house for my dog,she told me that she would call me back. When she called me back she told me that the doctor would stop on his way home and come to my house and put my dog to sleep. Mind you, the first time I called Barton Heights was on Sunday, they never saw my dog before. I couldn't beleive that the doctor would come to my house on his way home to take care of my dog. Even though we had to put my dog to sleep, I could not thank Barton Heights enough for going out of their way, THIS IS TRULY A PLACE THAT LOVES ANIMAILS,



Thank you!!!!!!! for taking care of my dog, again even though I lost my dog, I cant beleive how you people cared for my dog and me, for a place to keep calling me to see how we were doing shows that you have a heart.



Once Again, Thank You.
