After he left, they hired a hack named Moorehead who got terrible reviews and substantially increased their prices.<BR/><BR/>Since then, they hired Dr. Abdelmalak who continues in Moorehead's tradition of escalating prices and, in my opinion, very sub par treatment of hospitalized animals at their Canoga Park location. Abdelmalak, no doubt, will be in charge of the city-West Valley shelter's S/N program if Value Vet gets the contract. <BR/><BR/>As two perons now tell me, they were quoted a $500 charge for spaying a 120 pound dog, and Abdelmalak charged me $500 surgery fee alone for a 45 minute exploratory surgery, or $670/hour.<BR/><BR/>Yet Boks and Barth seem determined to give the contract to thee price gouging, and in my opinion, hacks.Ed Muzikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214241089861837159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-85392483609162245942009-03-16T00:20:00.000-07:002009-03-16T00:20:00.000-07:00Good deal for Value Vet.Bad deal for Angelenos.Is ...Good deal for Value Vet.<BR/>Bad deal for Angelenos.<BR/>Is there Value Vet stock that I can buy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-49805860284050932912009-03-16T00:19:00.000-07:002009-03-16T00:19:00.000-07:00Lack of forsight on this one.
