Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital

I cannot recommend this vet. We had moved into the area and had brought our dog to them for about a year. We liked the lady vets enough and appreciated that they were willing to coordinate with secondary care, as needed. Then, I found a mass on my dog's hip. They did a quick aspiration biopsy and said it was likely a lipoma, but found some "soft tissue" cells and recommended a future biopsy down the road in anfew months. They did not explain that "soft tissue" meant cancer. About 5 months later, I was back with our dog and saw their new vet. (The older vet was retiring.) He is young. I asked about doing a biopsy on that lump. He looked into the records and said they already did a biopsy a few months ago and it was "fine". He said this while he laughed at me because it was funny to him that I "didn't remember." I was shocked that he was laughing.l at me. I confirmed: "so it's fine?" He said "yes". I took his word at face value. I should have pushed him to look at his colleague 's note more closely. I also asked about alternative flea medicine as our dog had recently had a seizure right after a dose of Simarica Trio. He scolded me for taking our dog off Simparica and assured me my dog was not a breed to worry about neurological side effects with that medicine. Luckily, I then checked with her neurologist at Summit Vet Hospital who told us that we should avoid it. I didn't feel right about returning to Met Vet after my bad experience with the new person. I thought my dog was healthy so I took my time, reading reviews and asking around. I recently found a different vet that listened to me. She said we should do another biopsy. We found cancer today. I am so angry that this mass has been on my companion for well over a year. I tried twice to get it confirmed at Met Vet and they ignored my concerns and laughed at me.

My vet just retired. My german shepherd is almost 7 , has been going since she was a puppy. They decided since her vet is gone they will no longer accept her. So dissapointed.

Great staff - very nice knowledgeable people. Bob the Cato who doesn't usually like new people was happy in office

They've been the Vet for my 8 year old Black Lab Stockholm since he was a few months old and have always treated him very well. His original doctor retired but it was an easy transition to continue his care and we're happy with the new doctor we had on our last visit.
