EXTORTION AT IT S FINEST. This institution has the most outrageous intake policy I have ever heard of. It cost LESS to place a deposit on a $30k wedding venue that it does to put down a deposit for 48 hours treatment WITHOUT SURGERY for your pet. I took a small dog here that got into a fight with my much larger dog due to a careless boyfriend that walked too close to us, at the wrong place and the wrong time. As I am a honest, caring person, I rushed the OTHER PERSON S small dog to this ER because it was the only one open on a holiday. After promising to pay for treatment because I truly love animals, VERG called me and THREATENED ME that they would not treat the dog until I paid the deposit... immediately. Of course I would pay the deposit... how much? Here s where it gets crazy: $5,088.34!!!!!!!!! VERG demanded that I paid the deposit and I was given no choice but to pay it in full or else they would not treat the small dog. I was then called twice in a 10 minute period by VERG to make sure I was paying it... I have NEVER experienced or heard of such outlandish and greedy treatment. This place is truly out to rob you blind. I paid this invoice in full, because I wanted the best treatment for the small animal. I took responsibility for the situation but want to let people know NOT TO GO HERE. VERG ONLY WANTS YOUR MONEY, and WILL NOT TREAT YOUR HURT/SICK ANIMAL IN NEED UNLESS YOU PAY WHAT THEY ASK FIRST. From the $50 bandage I was charged for multiple times, to the $66 blood pressure check to the $6,000 bill after a 48 period where the dog sat in a cage the entire time, all I can say is how deeply sad I feel for people in desperation that are being completely worked over by this absolutely disgusting establishment. I ve sent this invoice to my attorney for feedback and will be looking further into the practices of the establishment. We are simply astonished by this place. I hope this establishment looks to do better by its community in the future it s clearly an ownership and company issue. The staff I dealt with was very friendly, so this review is no way poor because of them. However, I would be ashamed of myself if I worked here taking people s money this way.
