SCAMMERS OR INCOMPETENT, take your pick. $1,000 bill to diagnose constipation! Needed to run many different expensive diagnostic tests. Could not possibly use the test results from AMC in Manhattan that were done 2 weeks prior as a routine checkup, how else could they make money!
I befriended a vet who worked here who flatly admitted that this was all a money making scheme, based on people's willingness to do or pay anything to make their animals well. Instead of helping these customers, Animal Emergency exploits this sentiment of their customers.
Just because the staff made you "feel comfortable"by calling you the animals 'Mom or Dad"and uses baby talk to the animals doesn't mean they are good.
Please carefully consider coming here or to any vet that operates like a dealership service department. They are unethical and seek only to take advantage of emotionally vulnerable people. Also, please read the reviews, many echo my experience and many who gave 5 stars, gave no review, obvious fake reviewers.
