Review of REACH & Asheville Veterinary S...

Those of you on here that have harped about REACH...

Those of you on here that have harped about REACH only cares about money , do any of you even realize that veterinary care costs just as much for REACH as medical care costs for mission hospital? I don t see a bunch of reviews for Mission acusing them of only caring about money but somehow its ok for you to throw out uneducated accusations that are unfounded and quite frankly sound whiny and like you are looking for a handout just because its your dog and not a child or uncle or some other human family member. The bottom line is that things like diagnostics and plans for treatment cost money but most of you seem like you want the answers but don t want to pay for it. . . where on earth is this the case for anything in the real world? Certainly not in the medical field in any capacity. If a veterinarian says they don t have the answer they need to properly diagnose your animal and want to try another diagnostic tool that doesn t mean that they are trying to get money (and fyi, most of veterinary personel including actual veterinarians are struggling financially the same as you!) it just means that they need to try more avenues to get you the best answer possible so they can treat accordingly and not waste more of your money. Do any of you know how much it costs to have a facility run for 24 hours a day? Think electricity, staffing, machines that perform state of the art technical diagnostics so that you don t have to drive all the way to Greenville or Charlotte and spend even more money in travel and hotels and can be right here in WNC to check in on your pet and visit if they need hospitalization, and not to mention being here at any hour even on special holidays that you should damn well know they d rather spend with their families. Shame on all of you for thinking that they are in it to price gouge or just trying things willy nilly to entertain themselves, as I mentioned before they don t make any more money if you do everything or nothing, their pay is the same, but if they don t try everything in the arsenal to get the most educated guess then they are accused of negligence!! You can t have it both ways so either stop complaining or be a responsible pet owner and do everything you can to take the proper care of your pet!!!

Addendum: FYI Joe Surma, depending on the size of your dog and the amount of pain your dog is in, that amount of Tramadol is not only medically reccommended but considered ineffective if a too small dose is given, then they really would be "trying to kill your dog". A word of advice, if something looks completely unintelligent when you type it out, consider leaving the ranting and raiving out, people would probably take you a lot more serious #Getahobby
