$670 for a broken nail. Read the review before choosing this hospital. I've been reviewing businesses for a while and I know which one should be promoted which one not. We just back from this vet cutting a broken nail of our dog and get billed 670$. The whole procedure took like 10 to 15 minutes. I totally agree with the other reviewers, this is way overpriced.
To me this is like abusing the panic situation of the pet owners and use their emotional moments to charge as much as possible considering they are willing to pay whatever money to stop the pain of the pet. This is absolutely taking advantage of the stressed moment of any pet owners. This is not moral and definitely not appropriate. Such businesses should not be promoted at all.

My dog is my baby. Dr. Gill and the staff at Aborn Pet Hospital are knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. They take the time to know me and my dog to better understand overall health. Staff is very friendly and provide good and accurate information. I love the way we are treated. Thank you Dr Gill and all the staff at Aborn!

My first visit here was on a Saturday. My cat had been missing for 19 days. As soon as I got her home I wanted to take her to the vet. I called Aborn and was told they were fully booked, but could see me Monday. I explained my situation and said I really did not want to wait. The receptionist called me back within 5 minutes, had talked to the doctor, and they got us in. This will be our vet going forward.

Dr. Gill and his staff are amazing at what they do - highly professional, experienced, and has transparent pricing. They accurately diagnosed a rare disease in my dog and helped to obtain medications and testing in a very timely manner and saved my dog's life, who was barely alive two days ago and looks perfectly healthy now. Previous comments on "excessive testing" is not inaccurate, but the comprehensiveness is truly an asset in my case. No words can describe how much I appreciate the work they've done:

I unfortunately need to update my previous great review. When I first came to aborn I was happy with the service and now I'm not at all. Amelia was still great over the phone. The first appointment we had was just for my dog to get shots and he was having skin irritations so the doctor saw him and diagnosed him with atopic dermatitis. We tried cytopoint injections which seemed to be helpful the first time so we continued with it twice more and both those times the cytopoint didn't seem to help so I told the young lady that I want to try something else we tried benadryl, Claritin, natural remedies. nothing worked.
Then the vet suggested apoquel so we ordered it and it was amazing but so expensive. A few months later im told by a friend that apoquel is horrible longterm so I try to order a different medication and aborn denies it because they have to see my dog again even though its their diagnosis in the first place and for some reason they must make sure he has the same ongoing atopic dermatitis before approving a prescription?
I dont understand why he would need to be seen for the same thing they already diagnosed because id like to switch to a medication that isn't horrible for long term use. I am currently looking for a new vet because its been made quite clear that they do not care about the animals as much as they do making money. Stay away from here.

We came to Aborn because our dog was sick. 1 thing I can confirm from other reviews is : Excessive Billing. They realized how pet owners love their pet and take advantage of the fact that the pet is sick to rip off the owner. Even money is not a problem, should we, pet owners, really bring our pets to this place to encourage such kind of behavior? Dr. Gill might be capable to treat your pet, but it doesn't seems to me that he has that love to animals, who would give that much of unnecessary tests and medications to a sick dog? P.s. and once they have your email address, they won't stop sending you their so call "promotion offer". This is just annoying.

I was accommodated with an appt for my dog who had a broken toe nail. I really this doctor but I feel like I get gouged here and pet was given unnecessary treatment without fully explaining why it was occurring. I was not told over the phone there would be a higher exam fee for bribing my pet in on a Saturday with a last minute appt. my dogs have been coming here for years and this has never happened.
I was told after my dog was in the clinic. Then I was quoted a price of over $400, almost $500 for my dogs broken nail. After negotiating and removing some medications I was quoted almost $400. I was desperate with a newborn baby at home so I agreed. Then I found out I was charged a sedation reversal only because the clinic staff does not work on Sunday and the dog would not have enough time to recover.
Never was I warned about this. So a broken nail on my dog could have costed me $500, really could have been $300, and I ended paying $400. I don't agree with this and probably should have waited until the weekday or gone to another clinic. I love the staff here and they take care of my pets, I know things are tough since pandemic, but please stop gouging customers

Kiwi had her first visit today and wow, the service here is GREAT. Almost ALL of the vets I've been to were really rude or even too busy to explain in detail what exactly is going on. The staff here was great. They listened and were very patient with us. I look forward to having more visits here for kiwi and would highly recommend!

My dog's long term vet recently retired from another facility and the new Vet's that took over are terrible so I was forced to find another Vet. My friend recommended Aborn. It was an excellent experience and they had caring staff. It was easy to get an appointment, and they treated us with compassion and respect. I highly recommend them.
