Penny went in for her yearly wellness exam. Penny enjoyed all the attention from Dr. Leslie and her vet technician. Sadly Penny couldn’t accept treats from them because of her allergies but she rates St. Francis a 10/10! We will be back for sure.

I went to this office to get my sweet 1 year old cat Liz a routine checkup because she was throwing up occasionally. When Dr. Burke came into the office she felt around and examined her. Within minutes, Dr. Burke said she would NEED a surgery to open her up immediately or she would die. My young daughter was with me and started sobbing. I was in shock. Dr. Burke said with certainty there was a toy stuck inside of her that needed to be removed. I cried my eyes out and paid the $750!!! for the surgery. When I got Liz back she couldn't move on her own for days, they had cut her open. Then they proceeded to tell me the surgery was exploratory, just a test and there was NOTHING inside of her stomach. She was completely fine. I could not believe it. If I had known it wasn't necessary I would've never done it! I had to nurse her back to health from a useless surgery. To see her sweet eyes glazed over and in pain was torture. We found out later that ALL WE NEEDED TO DO WAS CHANGE HER FOOD!!! I was so upset and asked to talk to the doctor and she REFUSED to see me. Which that in itself told me she knew she did something wrong. None of the other staff were helpful or considerate and instead I received a phone call from Dr. Randall who happened to be the owner at the time, he proceeded to YELL at and tell me "this is just the way it is." I am heartbroken. You never expect to go to a doctor or a vet and be LIED to that your precious pet will die and be scammed out of money. I thank God she is still living. This place is a sham that traumatized our family! We want to never relive this horrible time in our lives. DO NOT GO HERE!!!
