Dr Smith NEVER even touched my 1 yr old dog in the ONE visit. If you don't even touch or look towards them, then the office visit amount should reflect that. Quack.

Had and 8:00 appointment for exam with surgery following that day got a call hour after closing to tell us that the surgery hadn't been done yet and they'd rather wait till tomorrow morning which meant another day without our dog and also being put under twice to have one surgery told us the following day we could pick her up after 5:00 got there at 5:30 and didn't get her until almost 6:30 not very happy and the price was $600 over original quote and 2 days opposed to one.

I took my dog to Dr. Dale Smith a couple years ago when she could barely walk and had no quality of life at all. I had been to several general veterinarians who just kept telling me “her hips are fine.” Dr. Smith met me in the parking lot of the clinic building to see the dog walk and he immediately recognized elbow dysplasia. He and staff did surgery within a week. After recovery, my sweet girl did great. She is a little slow, but runs and plays with the other dogs and is able to have a great quality of life. Was just reflecting on how awesome this was for her.
