Buffalo Ridge Animal Hospital Changes
 

I got a call from BRAH the other day stating that 2 of the doctors I have taken my pet to were no longer going to be with their Buffalo Ridge facility. I could keep my scheduled appointment there with other docs whose names I didn't recognize.
Anyone know what is going on there and is there a vet you could recommend?

Who left??

We take our dog to BR, and I’ve found that any of the vets that work with her are fully qualified and do a good job.

yes, i know. they went the way of VCA Vet Hospitals. VCA is a conglomerate that goes around buying up failing businesses, & seller MUST keep to term with demands. one place i knew dropped salary amounts, another just said they couldn't afford the xtra staff, putting more strain on the remaining techs! please stay as far away from these hospitals-- they love to upcharge everyone, not just villagers. you can go online & do a basic search on VCA's & read the reviews left by clients. that should do it for you, lol. personally, we use dr. porter in wildwood over on 301. i'm sure others here have good vets as well :)

I think there are two Buffalo Ridge locations. Which one are you dealing with?

the one i spoke of is the one off 466 that does boarding. not sure about the colony plaza location., but after a quick search, i dont see anything about VCA there. but here is the 466 location website--
