i want to start off with the comment left below. I am SO AMAZED THAT YOU SIT THERE SAYING OUR PETS ARE OUR FAMILY AND YOU WANT THE BEST CARE FOR THEM ...then you go and get your cat DECLAWED. who are you to do that. god didnt put them on this earth to have their nails ripped out. you seem like you have high standards that even you cant handle. so you put the responsability on everyone else. well come back down from your cloud and back to reality. I would never leave my dog/cat at a vet for however many days "so they get the best care" bulls***! As for this hospital i have been to 3 vets down here. my dog started limping so i rushed her to quails corners. well the doctor had no idea what he was doing... i ordered for x-rays because i wanted to make sure everything was ok. first it was one thing then another. then he tells us to get a second opinion...um hello. where did you get your license from? then i went to this place in wake forest that was RAVED ABOUT. I FORGOT THE NAME BUT THEY DONT EXCEPT CREDIT CARDS. WELL THIS GUY COMES IN THROwS MY DOG ON THE TABLE.. TELLS ME WHATS WRONG WITH HER... THEN IS ABOUT TO GIVE HER A SHOT WITHOUT TELLING ME WHAT IT WAS. I STOPPED HIM AND ASKED WHAT ARE YOU DOING.. HE STOPS AND SAYS IM GIVING HER A THORIZINE SHOT(CANT SPELL IT) TO STOP THE SWELLING... NOW CAN I GO BACK TO PLAYING DOCTOR(YOU CAN IMAGINE MY RESPONSE) I WAS SO UPSET i searched again hoping to find a vet to take care of her. i came across magnolia animal hospital. never in my life came aross such a wonderful doctor(Dr. Jon) hes awesome.he takes care of both my dogs now. my dog recently got spayed by him and she came back home and slept for a day .. then acted like herself the next. i couldnt believe it. they did an awesome job. finding a good vet is hard.and if you want a doctor that cares and knows what hes doing GO HERE. for everyone else who declaws their cats and then leaves them at the vet "to have the best care" go to quail corners.

Pros: wont find another doctor like him.and they email you reminders

Cons: none

Being a discernable pet owner, I started taking my pets to Magnolia Hospital after reading such fantastic reviews. The first few years taking my animals to this vets was a very exceptional experience. The front staff were friendly and well trained and the veterinarians really seemed to know their stuff. That pretty much came to a screeching halt this past year. First of all, I brought my cat in for his 3 year rabies shot only to find out that they gave him a one year shot (not what I had asked for). Secondly, I recently had to put another cat down. This was quite a traumatic experience for me and you would think a good animal hospital would have the good sense to show some compassion. This definitely was not the case. When I first went into the vets the receptionist was going to take me down to an examination room. I had to inform her that my cat was being put down. She admitted not reading the chart. When I went back a few days later to pick up the ashes, I had to wait in the lobby for 10 minutes being totally ignored. When finally someone waited on me, they were going to charge me for a second time for the cremation. The receptionist also handed me the ashes without even an "I'm so sorry for you loss...if you ever need anything, let us know." I mean good God, I just lost a part of my family and they didn't even acted as if they cared! Personally, I am not going to patron an animal clinic that doesn't treat their clientelle with respect, dignity, or compassion! Please just pass this animal hospital by. They may have been fantastic before, but they are slowly going down hill fast. If I could rate them with 0 stars, beleive me, I would.
