They did a decent job on my Malinois. Charged me $1808.74 to stitch up her belly area, but then charged another $73.00 to remove the stitches a few weeks later later. When I called to complain. That it should of been included. I was told that that was for the mild checkup to make sure it healed right. That should of been included. They will nickle and dime you. I will not be going back. They should of told me they were going to charge.

I would like to update my review as a result of recent diagnosis of my little boy. He was recently seen by a competent vet in Kernville. Strangely, it took her 5 seconds to listen to his heart and determine something was very wrong and X-rays were needed. And they revealed CHF that was pretty advanced. Advanced enough that earlier detection could have allowed for earlier treatment and a longer, higher quality life for my little guy.
How (Dr) Lohr failed to identify, much less have any diagnosis to offer, i can only guess. It should have been the simplest of conditions to detect based on symptoms, breed, age, etc. Instead, all he had to offer were expensive narcotic prescriptions that weren't available anywhere else, only available through his office. Was this because the heart meds my pup needed were available to purchase online and would therefore have cost Lohr a couple hundred bucks by losing the opportunity to coerse me into buying a medication that did nothing to address my little boy's heart problem. The malpractice of animal care that goes on there is astounding and I hope you consider other options for your pets because Lohr is clearly singularly driven by profits or too incompetent to be in practice. They must be masters at deflecting the cause of avoidable bad outcomes for animals.
Let me start by saying my family has been bringing our animals to Dr Lohr and Nile Point for over 30 maybe 40 years. We've been happy to pay the higher than usual fees, with an understanding that our furry family members health and well being were the priority.
I'm sad to say this is without doubt not the case. I could give many details but will offer the following. First, I was lied to by one of the gals in the office and told they could not provide me with the prescription that I paid with a visit that cost over $300. This is not only unethical and against their stated guiding principle, but it's illegal.
Unfortunately asserting my rights to the prescription was met with hostility and threats of not being allowed to bring my animals there anymore. After more than 30 years and countless animals. And once I got the prescription it was for a medication that is so old and out of use, you can't obtain it from anywhere else other than Dr Lohr. You can come to your own conclusions about this, but no matter what direction you take there are zero positive conclusions to arrive at.
In any case, I'm done. No thanks.

If I would give 0 stars, it still wouldn't be enough! This vet is terrified of a large animal that bark! Very unprofessional and rude! He tried to shame us for five minutes!! Completely ridiculous

The receptionist, medical assistants and veterinary all friendly, engaged with the animal and explained recommendations for treatment. The waiting room and inspection treatment room was well lite and clean. Thanks for your help!

I had a good experience with Dr. Lohr removing a growth on my cockatiel's wing. It's been a few weeks and now you can't even tell that there was anything there. The staff was nice and seemed to care for the animals. The only reason for four stars is that their administration price was weirdly high, even compared to other vets, and when I had questions about the finances they weren't as clear or thorough as I would prefer. But in terms of their animal care, very happy!!

In 2005, My Rescue Cat, Pumba (My Dog, Timone's BFF!), was accidentally let out by a Maintenance Worker and was hit by a car. His shoulder was dislocated (his front leg just kinda Hung; he couldn't move it) he had a couple broken teeth and a hairline fracture. He wasn't bleeding, and was getting on Surprisingly Well!! It was a Holiday Weekend and I couldn't afford to go to Emer. Vet. I brought him to Nile Point because at the time They were the Only Vet in Bks. That accepted Care Credit. The Initial Bill was gonna be $2175!! I had lost my job, was being evicted and was in a difficult position. I offered my Care Credit which had a Zero Balance, because I had paid off my dental expenses prior to losing my job. There was $2000 Available on the card. I PROMISED that I would get the other $175 by the time he was ready for pickup. They REFUSED ME!! They said "In that case, All we can do is offer to put him to sleep humanely"!! The DISGUSTING GREED of this place made me Physically Ill!! I was In Hysterics...BEGGING THEM to PLEASE NOT MAKE ME DO THIS!! Explaining that my other cat, of 15 years (who came from CT with me) had Just died, of "Old Age" (In My Arms...at home...5 DAYS Earlier!!!), and it was gonna DESTROY Timone...AND ME!! I, LITERALLY, BEGGED!! They just said "No, you'd Have To pay that amount Up Front. And Pumba will Likely Require 2-3 Follow Up Visits that will cost about $175 Each, and you Obviously Can't Afford to do that!" So, I asked if I could say Goodbye to Pumba, and they were all Huffy about it, but let me. I was Inconsolable, as I felt like I was being FORCED to MURDER my cat!! He looked So Confused. ???? They then explained that I'd need to Pay for the X-rays. When they handed me the Updated Bill, they Tacked On another $225 for the Euthanization that they were Forcing Me to do!! I paid it, and went back to the examination room and took my cats X-rays. They said I couldn't and I FLIPPED OUT on them!! I Damn Sure DID Take them and DARED THEM to try and stop me!! I then proceeded to my car, where I Threw Up and Cried Hysterically for about 20 minutes, before I could drive.
2 weeks later I received a Condolence Card in the mail saying "Sorry for the loss of your Cat, Pumba". I wouldn't bring my Worst Enemy's pet here!! But if you have Lots of Money and Don't Really Care About Your Pet: THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!! They should Burn In Hell!!???☠️
