Eye Clinic-Veterinary

I found the eye clinic through the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists,
and there are very few ophthalmologists in our area. When I called to make an appointment
I was told by your snotty receptionist that the vet does not allow or take appointments for second opinions and we should go back to the first doctor we saw. Last year after a costly visit at VRCC we were told our dog’s glaucoma would not affect her in her lifetime. She now is visibly uncomfortable, has discharge in one of her eyes, and the white spots on both of her eyes have spread. Shame on you eye clinic, for telling us to go back to a place that has a monopoly on specialty care, VRCC, which several families are having bad experiences with, refusing our dog and her chance to get a second opinion and therefore causing her more suffering as we continue to search for vets specializing in ophthalmology. I’ve never heard of ANY doctor, vet or otherwise, telling patients they can not be seen if they are coming to you for a second opinion. Also, fix the typos on your site, very unprofessional.

My shih tzu, Dottie, recently experienced eye problems. My vet recommended me to Dr. Hammond. Even though they are normally booked weeks in advance, he made time to see her the day I called. He showed great concern for her eye problem (which ended up being an ulcer), as well as for her general health (we’re still waiting on blood work through our vet to see if she has other issues that caused the problem). It has been five days since he first saw her. She is still on medication, but her eye is doing much better. He asked to see her three days after she began her medication, and I was pleasantly surprised to not be charged for that visit. She will be going back to see him in ten days. I will definitely refer others to him and go back to him if we need his service again. As a bird lover with several bird feeders in my backyard, I was also glad to see that he has a feeder outside of his office, and according to the woman at the desk, he is the one who feeds them regularly. I give him extra points for that!

I would highly recommend. The Dr. and his staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and treated my dog with surgery right away. I felt like it was priced well and my dog’s eye tumor is removed. She will now be able to live a long healthy life!

Dr. Hammond and his staff have been SO good to my dog!!! He needed surgery on both of his eyes, and they have taken such good care of him! They seriously love him and treat him like he is their own. Having to have surgery on his eyes has been very hard to deal with, but having such an amazing doctor has made it a bit easier. These people really love animals and take ridiculously good care of them!!!

I came in because my dog has bleeding in his eyes and has gone blind because of it. I had originally gone to my own vet (and paid over $ 100), but if I had known about this place I would have come here first. The doctor was really nice, a bit quiet, but nice. I ended up paying around $ 130 and all I got was a few pills to hopefully stop the bleeding, so that price seems steep, especially because it might not even help at all. At least I know what is going on, and I’m glad that he didn’t need surgery or anything. I would go here first next time.

I’m not sure where to begin with this review. These people are some of the most caring and compassionate folks I’ve ever dealt with when it comes to the care of my pet. Long story short, my beloved kitty, Baby, had to have one of her eyes removed due to melanoma. We noticed a freckle slowly taking over her eye over the course of 7 years and until recently she seemed quite fine.
After a thorough exam, lab tests and ruling out metastases with an x-​ray, Dr. Hammond successfully removed her eye. The whole process went smoothly and we cannot thank Maureen enough for the frequent status updates and post surgery phone call.
Our precious cat is down one eyeball and seems to be doing just fine. She had a speedy recovery and we owe it all to the doctor and staff at The Eye Clinic. Thank you so much!
