My dog was having an emergency situation with regards to congestive heart failure and our usual veterinarian in Banning was not available within the timeframe I was looking for, like 2 days max. So I tried Dr. Clark in Indio since he was closer. Although he did a good job with diagnosing my dog and what he needed to survive his health crisis, Dr. Clark was very unsatisfactory in other important ways. Besides having to wait a full hour and a half to see him after making appointments at a specific time, upon my request, he informed me very gruffly that his policy was NOT to let people in the examination room with their pets and if I didn't like it, I could go elsewhere. Wow. I had to continue with that first examination because of my dog's concerning condition. The bill for that visit seemed pretty BIG however I am sure there are some other vets who might charge more. Then, for the return check up visit he signed me up for my dog a couple weeks later, again, even with the appointment, he kept us waiting for one and a half hours. My main intention on the return visit was to get prescription refills from him so I could get the prescriptions for my dog at Chewy or Costco to save me some money (his markup is high). By law he is supposed to do that, from what I have read. However, when I asked him for that, he again gruffly said, "We don't do that and if that's what you want, you need to go elsewhere!" OK, I thought to myself, tomorrow I will let him know to transfer my dog's records to our usual vet in Banning. So that's what I did! When I called him and asked him to transfer my dog's records, he nastily said he'd have to do that next week... and he said I "need to understand" that I "could never go back to his clinic", to which I said "fine". A week and a half went by and the Banning vet's office had not received my dog's records from Dr. Clark. So it got to the point where I called Dr. Clark's office and TOLD them that I WILL BE IN THE OFFICE TO PICK UP MY DOG'S RECORDS BY NOON on the next day. So that's what I did! They were incomplete, so the following day, I had to make the same call to get all the records, and pick them up in his office. I'm sure they didn't want a big scene in their office, so they readily complied with my DEMAND. Unfortunately, although I am grateful that he did help my dog when he needed immediate medical attention, I would never recommend him to anyone. I don't believe he likes people, and perhaps he doesn't even like animals because most animals feel comforted by having their owners with them in the examination room. By the way, HOT TIP: Costco fills dog prescriptions! Around half of what Dr. Clark charges!
