Been going to this place for 15 years now, some sad endings, but mostly happy endings. I do not understand what these people on here keep bashing the place, this place is a great ...

Worst

Please do not take your animals to this animal hospital. Dr. Ridge (and Dr. Do Luca) is rude and lacks bed-side manners. My dog was being seen for 8 months for a blood disorder. R...

Poochie was well cared for at this facility, and even though the pricing was a little much , it was definably worth paying. they helped with everything even when i could not afford it fully, they gave me an applications to carecredit and imom(places that give money to help) i could not for a beter staff , and i THANK very much . i LOVE this place more

Always thankful 3/10/2011

Dr. Ridge and his staff are not only professional but so very compassionate. I have had to seek their help in three different occasions with two of my pets. Dr. Ridge saved my two month old Corgi from Parvo, then he was amazing when I had to say fare-well to my 11 year old Sheppard. I would highly recommend this clinic to everyone. I just wish that Dr. Ridge was available as our regular vet not just under extreme circumstances.\r \r Thank You for everything Dr. Ridge more

Always been happy 2/16/2011

Dr Ridge and his staff are competent and caring. We have been going to the emergency clinic with our pets for 20 years and have found quality care for our animals there. Our dog Sissy is there now with kidney failure and Dr. Ridge was informative and supportive. He explains everything. The prices at St Francis are fair and much less expensive than some other clinics where we have taken our pets and the care was not nearly as good. They may have nicer surroundings but the quality of care was less. I won't mention any names. Pet care is expensive and when it is an emergency it can be VERY expensive because so much more has to be done. We have always been happy with Dr Ridge and his staff even when the outcome of the visit was sad. The fact is that we outlive our pets and it's worse for them when we don't. more

Extremely polite and kind 2/16/2011

We have a 5 yr old golden retriever who had bloody diarrhea about every hour and a half. Because it was a Sunday morning, our regular vet was not open. We've never had any experiences with emergency vets, but always heard they were extremely expensive. When we arrived at St. Francis, they started taking care of my dog the moment we walked in. All of the staff were extremely polite and kind. Dr. Steele was very thorough and had my dog's needs in mind. The hospital staff were upfront about costs, which were no where near as expensive as I had expected them to be for my dog's treatment. They told us what they would recommend to find what was wrong with our dog and let us decide if that was the route (and $) we wanted to do. I was skeptical to try St Francis because I read the other customers' reviews. I'm glad I made the choice to go. Thanks Dr Steele and staff! more

Animals are People Too!!! 2/8/2011

This Veterinarian hospital only cares about one thing, and thats money!!! I know that money is a big role in society, but...We brought our puppy here once because he accidentally ate an Ibuprofen tablet, and he became very sick, so we HAD to bring him to this emergency vet's office, and when we got there, the initial visit was $86 to even see the doctor, and then of course additional fees tacked on for extra examinations, shots, etc...Which they supposedly gave our puppy an anti-vomiting medication shot, but when we got home, our puppy threw up 3 more times, so we called the vet back, and they said the medication will make him sleepy and should kick in, in about 2 hours. So we waited, and our puppy fell asleep, until the next morning, he was very weak and again threw up 3 more times, at which time the vets office called us to check on our puppy because we called back the previous night (which we thought was amazing that they did that), so we told them what happened, and they said to bring him back in, and there will be a $22 re-examination fee (which was no problem), but they also said that we could wait it out tonight and just see how he is the next day. The next day came around and our puppy vomited 2 more times, and now he has runny, tar like stool, so we called the vet back to bring him back in, and they told us it is going to be $86 again, and they can't see him unless we pay the $86 AGAIN, plus blood work, plus labs, ++++...But when we talked to them the previous day, they said $22 ++, so how could that be??? Well, because all they care about is money!!! Your pets will take a back seat in this vets office! We will definitely think twice before bringing our animals to a place like this, never again!!! more
