I recently visited Providence Veterinary for my dog to recieve her yearly check up. Normally I see Dr. Laura Elliott and she is excellent with my dog. Well my last visit I had Dr. Joseph Bonacquisti which I felt either has been over worked or doesn't want to be in this line of business. I felt my visit was very rushed and he didnt spend adequate time with my dog to make her feel that coming to the vet is a good experience. My dog was muzzled immediately (she wasnt showing any signs of aggression i.e. snapping, growling, etc.). She was acting like any normal dog that didnt understand why the table was moving up. Here's a thought: you can always exam the dog on the floor 60lb dogs shouldnt be on tables anyways! I feel in order to build a relationship with the dog so they understand that going to the vet is a favorable experience more time should be spent paying attention to the dog. I dont even think a treat was offered. Instead now my dog has this horrible perception of the vet. Shots, therometers in uncomfortable places, muzzles, etc. So rather than just complaining about this I am also changing vets. I dont appreciate spending large amounts of money for my dog and I to feel we recieved nothing except pain.
Pros: Dr. Laura Elliott, staff
Cons: Dr. Bonacquisti
