We started bringing our boxer to S. Hills in November, 2006. She was drinking A LOT of water and was peeing way more than normal. They proceeded to do a series of tests and diagnosed her with Thyroid Disease, placed her on medication and requested a follow-up in a month. The next SIX months consisted of an Urinalysis and Thyroid Pannel (blookwork) once a month. Each month the dosage on her meds were adjusted in hopes to regulate her thyroid. We payed for each visit, in addition to her perscriptions that weren't doing a thing. We payed Southern Hills over $3,000.00 in vet bills for our BOXER ONLY! (We payed $2,000.00 for our 10 yr. old English B.Dog's surgery that died 2 months after recovering. After getting a 2nd opionion on this by 3 different doctors, ALL said they would have NEVER performed this surgery on a dog in her shape.) After six months of the SAME thing with Southern Hills, we finally decided to get a second opinion. We took our boxer to Brambleton Vet and within a 24 hour testing, Dr. Linda Jennings discovered she was diabetic. 6 months of treatment and nothing and Dr. Jennings figured it out in 24 hours!! Within a week, our boxer was back to her old self. Our boxer suffered 6 months of discomfort, because no one at Southern Hill would take my concerns serious enough to do different tests. And I trusted him that he knew what he was doing. They NEVER waved any of the office fees either, regardless of how often we were coming in and it always had to be paid in full at the time of the service. They also switched medicines on us - filled our boxer's medicine with our B.Dog's and visa versa!! Come to find out, it was the 'receptionist' that filled the medicines which she was not licensed to do! To top it off...they made us pay for the refills! No lie! DO NOT take your pets to them. They are overpriced, unorganized and their passion is not to meet the best interest of their clients. In my personal opinion, it's about the money only!
Pros: They will always fit you in for an appointment
Cons: Overpriced, unorganized, in for the money only
