Welp, I had to leave a negative Yelp review of Porter Square Vets. I should have tl;dr'd it with "their 'tude is basically shut up and get out of the way so we can do the next revenue-generating activity.
They were OK when our cats were healthy and seeing Dr. Werlin, but now that she has left, and we find ourselves in more critical situations, the medical advice is worse, and they think nothing of costs.
They often contradict themselves. For example, they said that stressful situations could kill a cat with a heart condition and so we should never put him in any stressful situations. Then, they said we should take him to a cardiologist (outside their office) twice a year for monitoring. Those are by far the most stressful experiences he's ever been in.
Later, they prescribed him a medication in the form of pills that we were to split in half. We were to give him half at each meal.
After we ran out of the initial prescription, we wanted them to be delivered. They push people to order medication through Covetrus, rather than Chewy or anything else because they make more money that way (https://covetrus.com/covetrus-platform/prescription-management/online-pharmacy/). So, we tried that.
They would not approve the original prescription, and instead asked to buy tablets. They were adamant about that, but those actually were not available on Covetrus. Instead, they said we should get these compounded pills instead of splitting the original-sized pills. The compounded pills are eight times more expensive. We already pay a lot for three other cat medications and could use a break. When I asked to talk to the vet tech about this, the admin said they wouldn't talk to me.
In short, something is wrong there. They often don't agree with themselves, and they're not really there to work with you to care for your pet; they're there to get you out of the way.
