This is two-fold. Like other reviewers they are extortionists. Not our pet, but when we were in the waiting room, a family came in with a young, DEAD kitten. The little girl (about 10y.o.) had fallen on it and the front desk staff whisked it away to the back, returned and asked the mother if they wanted to have CPR performed. Yes.. is the correct answer! I'll need $500 now to do so, she was told. What!?!?!?!?! No guarantees they could revive the kitten she was told. They opted not to do so but....
Now our pup. Today SIX DAYS later, our 4 year old, non-chewer, is in ICU at our own vet. I rushed him to MedVet on Sunday, Mother's Day as we rushed him there because he was vomiting, drooling profusely, lethargic, and far from lucid. The vet that day, kept asking me questions relating to something caught in his intestines...NO. Then I was told he MIGHT have Pancreatitis. A simple blood test would have confirmed, not a might, have but a raging case of Pancreatitis. The report filed with our vet stated we REFUSED inpatient services, however they were NEVER discussed. Without the blood test, they didn't have a clue what was wrong with him.
In conclusion, RUN, do not walk, RUN in the other direction. This is not a save your loved one organization. It is an emotional extortion, facility.

The public should know what a sham this so called hospital is all they care about is money , the vet was a young girl with 1 year of practice my little yorkie was walking and alert when I brought her in she was just throwing up and looked a little weak almost 4 hours later she was in a narcotic induced coma they wanted my credit card and I paid them $495.00 she did absolutely nothing else she wanted $8000.00 upfront , I lost my baby that night I had no choice I couldn't bear to see her suffer if you love your pets stay far away.

Pet Lovers Beware
MedVet - Mandeville does not care about your pets, they just want your $ They take advantage of your pets situation to extort money & then treat based on what you can afford to pay on the spot Our own vet was not aware of this when she referred us there yesterday for emergency surgery & is upset at lack of transparency that a surgeon was not on site immediately & second that they removed manually & not surgecially stone & took over 5 hrs of them buying time saying test had to be re run & really were waiting for surgeon to come from another case across the lake. My dog turned septic in the interim & they finally Said we need to first pay now (thousands $5K+)in order for them to proceed with care! We applied for care credit & approved for more & miraculously that is exactly what our bill became. The Doctor arrived 5hours after & dog was too septic. we had to put her down & they just secured their funds first, & disregarded the life they had under their so called care!

We had to take our beloved cat here when he suffered a life-threatening urethral block and the vet, dr Donna Stockton, took really great care of him - and us! She saved his life that night and although I did cost a lot of money for the emergency procedure, it was no way near as much as we would have had to pay at most other veterinary hospitals on a Sunday night.
