My original HONEST Reveiw was removed so I am reposting my issues for others to read. Some how other reviewers that left poor reviews were also removed so it is a concern of mine that this animal hospital does not want others to know the TRUTH!
In January of 2010, I elected to do Stem Cell Treatment on my arthritic Lab clearly knew the costs that is involved. I know the surgery involves removing a small amount of fat to harness these stem cells, but had no idea that he would have over 20 staples down his side adding to his increased discomfort for an additional 2 weeks - only increasing the amount of more drugs for pain meds. This was officially his third surgery, it was my goal to make him more comfortable allowing his own bodies ability to heal and regenerate where the stem cells were injected. After 6 months I saw very little improvement and all Dr. Landry wanted to do was prescribe MORE DRUGS at an increase to my already tight budget. He had a new pill that he wanted me to "try" already had it dispensed with my name on it before he even met with me and my dog as a follow up, only later to find out it would cost an additional $5/day. I find this practice to be completely unethical to have medication dispensed with my name on it before even discussing this with me as well as knowing I have spent over $6,500 along with other expensive medications. It became quite clear to me pretty fast that Dr. Landry not only lacks communication skills and tack but also little consideration of people's budget.
Dr. Landry emits an arragence and clearly is in business to make money as he tried to make many attempts to justify his horrible communications tatics.
Sadly, my best friend pasted away from Cancer, something he most likely had prior to the stem cell surgery treatment as I never saw any blood work results.
My plea to others seeking Stem Cell for their pets PLEASE do your research, there are many vets out there that have real compassion and understanding to people's needs. there are also newer improved techniques for helping our old friends with arthritis at a much more cost effective approach and a faster recovery.
If my review gets pulled again, I WILL re-post it, people must know!
