We are very disappointed with our recent experience with Animal Hospital at Brier Creek. Our dog was having petit mal seizures over the weekend. We brought her in on Monday and were told that her bloodwork came back abnormal and she may have liver disease. They kept her during the day and did a bile acid test, which they said also came back abnormal. We were told an xray, ultrasound and possible biopsy would be necessary to diagnose her liver disease. This one visit cost $400. We were quoted $850 for the additional tests to be done. I was devastated my dog was so sick and I had a lot of unanswered questions. Feeling suspicious, I started calling other vets. I had lab work done by 2 other veterinarians and had them review the results from Brier Creek Animal Hospital as well. They both concluded that all of her lab results were NORMAL, that there is absolutely nothing wrong with her liver and that her seizures were probably due to anxiety. They prescribed us (cheap!) medication and told me that Brier Creek Animal Hospital was after my wallet. I have been taking my dogs here for 2 years, but will not be back. The staff is very friendly and does seem to care, but that's not worth double the price. I was told by Magnolia Animal Hospital that the same blood work that cost me $400 at Brier Creek would have cost less than $200 with them.
