Veterinary Emergency

Was referred to VERG South on Flatbush Ave on 7/24/15 as an emergency because my dog had a partial blockage of his urethra and bladder stones.

VERG was unable to remove the bladder stones or unclog my dog's urethra. Furthermore, I had to wait for an hour for my dog to even be seen by a vet. As it turns out, VERG did not have a surgeon on duty that night in order to perform the nessessary procedures (a cystotomy and a urethrotomy).

I was charged for (and paid) over $650 for this procedure and was then referred to their other location to have the surgery performed. When I called to book the surgery at the other VERG location, they wanted to charge me another $150 just to bring my dog in for a consultation. Other veterinarians in NYC were able to give me a price estimate for this surgery over the phone and even email.

As a side note, on 7/26/15 I asked to discuss this procedure with the head veterinarian. I was told that she would call me back later in the week. She ended up called me over a month later to discuss my concerns.

Needless to say, I would NOT recommend taking your pet here.

To the idiot above who was gripping about VERG not seeing your cat!! Obviously the first two places you took your cat did not know what they were doing and robbed you of your money. That is why you tried to bring it to the hospital.
It's an EMERGENCY hospital, do you think they have time to sit and hear about how come you can't pay?
I do not work for VERG but i know they have a fantastic staff there and they work very hard everyday and ALWAYS put their patients first!!!
