My experience with the Metropolitan Vet Hospital was a nightmare. My regular Vet was closed for the day, so I took my dog to a new veterinarian who was associated with this hospital; my dog was not eating, she was drinking a lot of water and vomiting it back up, she also did not have a bowl movement in 3-days. I was instructed to take my dog for x-rays and blood work, an hour after I returned home, I received a phone call from one of the vets and I was told that my dog had a tumor the size of two grapefruits, they told me they could not tell exactly where the tumor was, just that it was near her abdomen, they said they would need to do an ultrasound to see exactly where the tumor was, when I asked the price they told me it would be $600, now I have already left a $400 deposit this would be in addition to that, then they told me, she would need surgery that would cost $1400, but there was no guarantees that they could remove the entire tumor, and if they could her life expectancy, if she survived the surgery, would be 6-months maximum. I was devastated, and agreed to have her euthanized, I then called my 82 year old mother who watches the dog while I work, and loves her as much as I do, we cried together on the phone but agreed we would have to let the dog go. While we're crying the Hospital calls back in and tells me they had a radiologist read the x-rays and there is no tumor, the blood work showed the dog was diabetic, I asked what could be done for her, they told me they could try to bring her blood sugar down (674) and stabilize her, when I asked what the cost would be I was told it would be 3-4 hundred more on top of the $400 deposit. Two days later I went to pick-up my dog, and was told the balance was $1021.00 more. I feel I should be compensated for what my mother and I went through emotionally. When I enquired about talking to someone in charge I was told I could talk with the owners on Monday, it was Sunday when I picked up my dog, I asked the name of the owners so I could call and specifically talk with them, and ironically no one knew the name of the owners, now they work for these people, but do not know the name, this isn't over for me, I will be moving forward for compensation.

My vet recommended this hospital, since he ran into problems giving my dog treatments. The people here at Metro Vet were very helpful meeting my needs. The doctors informed me of the treatments and have been very nice after each treatment in that they come out and explain what they did to my dog and asked if I had any questions. The receptionists were very pleasant and helpful in scheduling my appointments, as I come from the cleveland area. I was warned by my vet that it would be expensive so I was ready for the bills and he wasn't wrong, but it is good treatments he is getting and he is getting better. All the people there are very nice and cooperative, even the other people with their dogs. My dog is even happy to go there, he pulls me into the building, so they must be treating him good, else I would think he wouldn't want to go there.

Our vet suggested this place when our dog became ill with brain swelling. We will never take another animal back to this place! The staff was cold and uncaring. We were told that our dog needed a fluid tap from its brain that would cost $2500. We asked to speak to the doctor who would be doing this to find out more information and we were told that he would not even speak to us until we paid the $2500. Next to no information was given to us. They offered us no alternative then the $2500 option. Our dog then went in to seizures and we made the painful decision to put him to sleep. At no time did anyone at this place even care. They are all about the money.

I took my Dachshund to this hospital as a referral . She was diagnosed with enlarged lymph nodes and a low white count at the previous Vet. I saw only a resident and intern. Upon requesting to to talk to an internist or oncologist I was refused. All they wanted to do is keep her in ICU and repeat more tests without giving me any idea on now long it would take for them to perform any additional tests or cost to confirm the original diagnosis . We questioned if she was healthy enough to do some of the tests. They said NO put they would build her up. I agreed for them to repeat the lymph node biopsy and x-rays. As of today they have refused to give me a report of their findings or return my x-rays. I had to beg for antibiotics and I was told predisone could not be given to her. I have gone to a QUALIFIED VET AND SHE IS IMPROVING. NO SHE IS NOT CURED OF LYMPHOMA BUT SHE IS ACTIVE AND PROGNOSIS LOOKS GOOD.

I took my Boston Terrier to this hospital & was told that she had gastritis. Cindy got worse overnight & had to take her to another hospital. They told us that it look to be a large mass around her liver & had to be put down. I believe with the x-rays that metropolitan took that they to should have seen this & the dog would not have had to suffer for another 24 hrs.

Metro Vet Hospital has saved my dog's life twice literally. This is the best vet hospital in the ohio area, people come from all over to bring their pets here. It is on the expensive side, but more than worth it if your pet has a serious illness.
