  • "Overall felt like top priority for them is my money, last priority is my pet's wellbeing."
  • "Former employee of symphony vet and I have to say that the care has fallen apart and all based on money."
  • "First, the person at the check in desk pulled my tiny helpless 10 week old puppy in the room impatiently, not to say a bit aggressively."

  • "It is very unprofessional to tell a customer the fee increased as I am checking out."

  • "I will tell anyone looking for a Vet not to go to Symphony."
  • "I do not want any other pet owner (especially rabbit pet owners) to go through what I went through."
