Longwood Animal Hospital

I just moved to the area last year and contacted four different vets in the area to take my dogs to. Longwood replied within a few hours and had an appointoment available ASAP.
However, since day one I felt I was overly charged and in some cases they pushed unnecessary tests and treatments.
Was charged $40 for trimming hair around the ear, most medications they offer are overpriced by at least 10%, the final straw was when they refused to give my dog heartworm medication without another test after being on medication for 6 months.
Will look elsewhere for a vet service since profit seems to be the driving force behind this pet hospital.

I find this interesting that this was posted 2012. Dr. Jackson hasn't been working there since I have gone to the clinic. I started taking my animals there in January 2011. I have seen behind the scenes there as well. The staff is very nice and my animals have been given the best of care. Very clean clinic as well. My dog even made a mess in their lobby and they rushed to clean it. This sounds like a complaint of an ex employee who is very bitter. Don't know how recent they worked there, but since I have started going there, none of this has happened. Awesome clinic.

Longwood has been great and not so great. Dr. Jackson is long gone and so are many of the vets who followed her. This is also true of front office staff, tech support staff, and kennel staff. The kennel situation is unsatisfactory. Our dogs come home sick and after our last necessary visit, injured.
