I have been going to the Avalon Veterinary Hospital for years - they are wonderful! My vet, Dr. Joel Bigger, has taken care of many of my sick animals and he was very compassionate and caring. The only negative thing I can say is that as of January 2008 their rates are horrendous! I have 4 dogs that I take there and they have always given me a "multiple animal discount". I recently took one of my dogs for his checkup and I was charged $73.00! Granted, he did need both of his shots(that came to $26.00), but almost $50.00 for the check?? They didn't even take his temperature or offer to cut his toenails, clean out his ears, etc! I took one of my dogs in December for the same type of checkup and was charged $54.00 - they even charged me for "hazardous waste disposal" this time! Toooooo high priced - even though Dr. Bigger is great, I may have to find another vet so I can afford to keep my dogs healthy!
Pros: wonderful veterinarian
Cons: staff, price too high
