0Dr. Walsh is a out of date, misinformed, rude and hateful man. His treatment of people is only better then is treatment of animals. My aunts cat has been to see "Dr." Walsh many times, for checkups, blood work, and diet recommendations. He pushes only the food he has in his office (Hills) even when it is not recommended by the manufacture. There are a number of great vets, with up to date schooling that understand the advancements in medications and food made in the last 30 years - Dr. Walsh in not one of those vets. STAY AWAY!
We recently took our dogs to Oak HIll Animal Clinic and were very impressed with Dr. Walsh and his staff. They are so caring and compassionate to the animals. They are very thorough and explained everything in detail so that I comletely understood what was going to happen. Our dogs absolutely loved the staff!! They wagged their tails the entire time and took treats from the staff and the Dr. These were given during the exam and nail trims and greatly reduced my dogs nervousness. I appreciate their approach and I also appreciate the fact that they do not automatically vaccinate my dogs each year. They are now taking a blood test to see if my dogs need shots or not. The way it was explained to me is that unnecessary shots can lead to serious diseases and or cancer later in life. I whole heartedly recommend Dr. Walsh and Oak Hill Animal Clinic to everyone. They live up to their message on their web site: Excellence in Veterinary care with a warm personal touch!!
BEWARE. I wouldnt take my worse enemies pet to this crook. They seriously mis diagnosed my dog. I understand mistakes happen but usually one would try to make amends for such an error. After performing surgery and taking my money they tell me the dog has advanced cancer and they would be happy to give us a referral to perdue. This dog is beyond saving. I bet they wouldnt treat their own animal this way. The surgery was not only useless it was cruel. He either missed the advanced cancer evidence in her labs or he just did the surgery to get the money. They have declined to make any amends for their errors. I received a lovely letter that basically said .. "thanks for the cash now go see someone who knows what they are doing". This clinic is either full of idiots or crooks. Seek another vet, and save yourself the chance that they might take you for the same ride they took us.
Cindy fails to report that she was never present for any consultations, only her husband. He was given a full written estimate prior to scheduling any procedures and was advised that a diagnosis could not be made without a biopsy. I answered all his questions at the time of the examination. This was the SAME protochol used when Cindy's husband had another tumor removed from her dogs ear the previous year. That tumor was very advanced, ulcerated and quite infected. It covered the entire side of the left ear when they brought the dog to me. The first surgery went extemely well with their dog making a complete recovery and the ear looked cosmetically very good. The first tumor was a non-maligant one This second case was on the tip of the nose and turned out to be malignant. I am sorry for their loss and I would not change any of the treatment I provided. No veterinarian can look at a tumor before surgery and tell you what it is. It requires submission for histopathological review. Once I had the diagnosis I advised them it would most likely reoccur based upon our definitve diagnosis and I offered to refer them to Purdue Veterinary Oncology Department for radiation treatment and possible chemotherapy to minimize the chances of recurrance. They chose not to accept the referral. I have followed this same protochol with previous patients with the same diagnosis and achieved a very successful outcome with the patient living and addtional 3 years. I had another dog with the exact same tumor that Cindys had and it was the same stage, in a difficult area to completely remove. It required a second surgery to avoid it spreading. The owner complied and we performed the second surgery within a week of the first. This was all based upon scientific facts and following the proper protochol for this particular tumor. This patient is also responding very well. Cindy chose to not follow this recommendation. She asserts that I misdiagnosed her dog. The truth is that her dog had a tumor that was malignant and she chose not to seek further treatment for the condition. In the future, where ever she takes her pets, I recommend Cindy to go alone for the examination and get first hand information and ask her questions and voice her concerns beforehand. This will save everyone a lot of distress and avoid confusion and the spreading of misinformation.
