"My 7 1/2 Doberman puppy began limping for no reason. First one hind leg for about 2 weeks then to other leg but much worse. I brought her to this clinic and Dr Siego saw her immediately. We had to wait outside in the rain under a porch covering. She said she has "growing pains" or Panosteittis, which effects the long bone of rear legs and can spread to front legs . She showed us two X-rays but billed for 5. The marrow of both legs showed a spongy like marrow. Upon researching many sites, I found that this is actual bone growing inside but does NOT effect the use of the legs but causes pain and limping for about two weeks. She prescribed rectal ozone suspension inserted in rectum. Upon research, I found that this is a holistic approach and is for blood disorders and allergy treatment then Paws CBD oil for allergy which also helps with pain. Then a bottle of evolve herbal liquid used for inflammatory disease -and skin problems, which she had neither of. My dog got un-necessary drugs and all she needed was carafen for pain as only time takes care of panosteittis. Then she wanted me to allow her to send report to a orthopedic dr for 175.00 consult! My total bill was not bad for a Emergency (478.00) but The drugs I did not need (except for carafen only) so I am not happy with her and not happy with her shortness and rush to get us gone without getting questions answered. She pushes holistic treatments and wanted me to sign up for her course on it. I would not recommend her for emergency services and I would advise you to check her bill out before u pay. Oh, you don't get a paper bill, only emailed one without telling of her evaluation! Janet Herold March 31,2022@ Two weeks later... dog still has a slight limp but better. This dr replied to my post with many untrue statements. She said Zi could not listen to her as I was too busy chain smoking! I was smoking first time she came out and she loudly said she was allergic to smoke and could not stand the smell so ZI immediately walked to bare ground and put it out . The next time she came out I was not smoking. She made many untrue statements I came home from vet and immediately researched this disease and found that it is BONE developing inside the marrow and not SPONGY MATERIAL , I also called a vet who said they never give anything but Carofen for pain and that ,my choice, to stop the other meds as nothing helps this but time It is normally called growing pains. I stopped the meds and she was herself in two days but still limping. Look at other posts about her and you will know that she is brash and rude to people. Take your animal somewhere else."

"I brought my cat in because of urinary issues and, while I was pleased to have her evaluated, I was given an incorrect diagnosis that could have ended her life. I was told that there were crystals in her bladder, no UTI, no blockage, and I was sent home with alternative medicine Kefir, cranberry pills, etc.). Basically, I was blamed for not feeding her raw food, only store bought, so I was responsible for the bladder problem. Then I was told by Dr. Siegel to take her online course for 155.00. While I appreciate alternative medical practices, this was a blatant error in diagnosis and proper veterinary practices should have been implemented. When she worsened, I took her to another vet who told me she was obstructed and unable to urinate. Another day and it would have been life ending. Please reconsider before taking your baby to this practice."

"I have been unfortunate enough to have brought two pets to the emergency vet this summer. First my cat decided to eat 3 feet of string. Dr. Siegel and her team went straight to work. After some surgery, my cat came home the next day and has been doing fantastic since. Next my husky killed a coral snake in my yard. I was so worried he had been bit. Bloodwork was ordered and he is currently home being goofy as ever. Staff is very caring, and quick to respond! Thank you for helping my animals!!!"

"I deeply regret bringing my critically ill 14 year old dog to this "emergency" vet the day before she passed. She had severe diarrhea (including passing nothing by blood) , vomiting, extreme difficulty walking and standing and labored breathing. I didn't know my dog was dying and neither did the veterinarian who examined her. The veterinarian spent the majority of the time promoting her homeopathic credentials and customized raw diet. She even recommended chiropractic adjustments for my dog's spine. I left the vet with food my dog would never eat (she died the next morning) and unrealistic expectations that she would get better. My dogs health deteriorated rapidly over the next 12 hours. I then took her to an actual emergency vet. Within 20 minutes, that veterinarian knew my dog was dying; her pulmonary, neurological, and digestive systems were shutting down. To save my dog from further suffering, we let her go."
