Do not recommended at all... stay away from this unethical vet: They are unethical, overcharge and take advantage of older clients. Highly do not recomend anything to do with them!<br/><br/>I've been hearing bad things about Island Veterinary Hospital from family friends for a while. Numerous examples... first my grandma was told by their vets to use a special cream on her dogs ears. Initial charge was around $15. After the tube ran out in a couple months she went back for a refil and was amazed to see a bill of over $60 for the exact same tube of cream! <br/><br/>Ridiculous.<br/><br/>She's older and doesn't know how to find another vet so she's been going back to them numerous times and I seriously doubt their ethics... long story short they had x-rays done looking for tumors or stones - charged over $500 for x-rays!!!!! Then they said they couldn't find anything and asked to bring her dog in for an ultrasound... the bill was over $800 for an ultrasound!!!!!! <br/><br/>I've been out of the country for a while and just found out about this... needless to say we are taking this issue to the BBB, lawyers, and if anyone would like to help defend a 75 year old lady then please help get the word out about how Island Veterinary Hospital should not be in business. It is just a matter of time before this vet should be shut down for unethical behavior.<br/><br/>HIGHLY ADVISE YOU TO NEVER GO TO ISLAND VETERINARY HOSPITAL.
