Mountain Valley Vet Hospital

"Our beloved lucy died less a month ago. She had perfect blood test results.Roy mc corkle said "as young a puppy" and Roy never noticed anything wrong with her heart . No murmur or issues whatsoever. We believe she died from getting a bacterial lung infection after a prolonged dental procedure. We were very reluctant to proceed with the dental at her age but vets put a lot of pressure on pet parents to do it. A few days after the dental surgery Lucy collapsed at home. Rushing her to Mountain valley clinic, Roy completely failed to recognize the emergency. He gave lucy oxygen ,took an xray that showed fluids in her heary and lungs and gave her diuretics. He sent her home after a few hours . She was doing very poorly. I was told then that the lady who does ultrasounds was unavailable for several more days on vacation . But LUCY could wait . Lucy should have gone to an emergency hospital. But Roy did not indicate the need for it . When in fact ,Roy was not equipped to save her. That evening he finally calls my husband at 8pm and clearly says she is in no danger, she will not die from this. Lucy has a bad night and i lay with her thru the night and in the morning she seems a tiny bit better .i called in the morning but Mathew, Roy's son who works at the clinic, says "Dr roy Mccorkle wont be in today. But ill let him know to call you ." He never called. The next morning Lucy died 30 mns after I rushed her to another animal hospital. She actually drowned in lungs and heart fluids . An indication of bacteria entering the lungs and bloodstream during anestesia . Lucy was a very healthy 14 years young, happy as can be Havanese until the dental surgery. Lucy had been Roy's patient for 4 years now. Just before she died we spent apprx 2000 dollars at Mountain valley animal hospital. And ...seriously ! We have not as much as received a call or a sympathy card from them"

"Dr McCorkle has been amazing for my dogs. Very informative and very thorough. Extremely kind staff"

"Don't have enough good words about this establishment. Friendly and homey atmosphere that my pets could feel as comfortable as possible. The employees were caring and informative. The Vet himself is just the best and really knows what he's doing. Will never take our animals anywhere else. Definitely recommend."

Everyone, there knows our pets are part of our family. They have seen us through new puppies all the way to the end of life.
