All Sarah needed to tell me was.that she had charged about $,20 more per pill. $.20 for the price of integrity? Sad story.
I personally would not recommend going to ark veterinary practice in Belgrade and here are a few reasons why; my best description is 'practiced thieves,' they know how to talk fast and use medical terminology to manipulate you as a client for profit.
Three weeks later, I took my older dog to her for a checkup. He takes medicine for arthritis. She said she would price match with the online pharmacy where i had been getting his meds. After 2 hours & in between three other customers, I FINALLY left with meds. When I called the next week to pay the rest of the bill, I ask how much the meds were since they weren't listed on my reciept. Sarah got on the phone, said she called the pharmacy(they said she had not)& simply refused to give me the charges. She said that I had wasted half an hour of her staff's time-2 of her "staff" later called to apologize for her bad behavior. Sarah then told me she just charged my son's credit card for MY BILL & hung up on me.
I encourage you to check her prices BEFORE you let this "sweet, soft spoken" phony woman take care of any of your animals. And, heaven forbid, you have other family members using her that paid with a credit card. If you question her prices after the fact she MAY charge them for your services.
Please notice how most of the reviews are repeated, i suspect fake reviews have been posted over and over again as to up their star level, please read with decernment.
I left the practice feeling used, raped and pillaged
You are paying $45 for a cheerful greeting that is it. She immediately started pushing de-worm pills of which is $20 for each pill when I could of bought a whole pack of de-wormer for that price. Then even after I told them I was on a budget they tried pushing $80 and another $50 unnecessary blood tests of which I wouldn't of known the prices if I hadn't of asked; I said no but she continued pushing me to at least get the blood drawn for later which would of been another unnecessary charge and another vet visit. This was all before she even knew that my cat had a bite wound on his leg of which she then charged me $20 for a simple wound cleaning of which I've been doing myself. At the end of the visit they said "we are going to GIVE you cleaning wipes for the wound," but at payment they charged me another $20. a bill that should of been $45 plus a $10 treatment turned into a $95 visit.
Sarah went to my son's home to euthanize his beloved pet. I was there with him for support. He wrote his credit card number on the paperwork that she brought to pay the $360 charges.
What a fantastic experience! I called first thing this morning for my dog having a big lump on his jaw. They got us right in to look at it. And while we were their she removed a mass on his head for a fraction off the cost I was quoted at another vet.
We have found our vet for everything we need. They were very plesesnt and freindly to work with.
Dr. Sarah and the staff at Ark are amazing! They are so accommodating. They were prompt and very professional. Our kitten is a little wild but they handled her with care and compassion. They are willing to work with you on the kind of care that works best, making suggestions but never pressuring you. Even sending us home to administer booster shots on our own. Taking time to make sure we were instructed thoroughly on the proper techniques and making sure we felt confident. We would highly recommend Ark to anyone looking for a great vet!
Dr. Sarah is a wonderful doctor. She gives very thorough exams and is very loving. I love how she explains all test results in details and gives you options on courses of treatment. She was able to tell something was wrong with one of my dogs just by her very thorough exam. If it were not for her, we would not have even known something was wrong. After getting test results she was able to find out what could be going on. Dr. Sarah and her staff will go the extra mile to ensure your pets are healthy and happy. Her office is very professional and clean and she has some of the friendliest and knowledgeable staff. Thank you Dr. Sarah and her staff for taking great care of my best friends!
