(Translated) Dr. Michaud is an excellent veterinarian, who takes his time to examine your animal and to explain things. While another clinic estimated that it would cost me approximately $ 2,000 for canine-related care that my cat had lost, it cost me $ 100 with Dr. Michaud, who has his feet on the ground, who respects the animal as much as the client, and who offers the client several care options and scenarios. He shared the same opinion as two other veterinary friends: my cat is correct and time must act. Thank you Dr Michaud! (Original) Dr Michaud est un excellent vétérinaire, qui prend son temps pour examiner votre animal et pour expliquer les choses. Alors qu'une autre clinique estimait qu'il m'en coûterait environ 2000$ pour des soins liées à une canine que mon chat avait perdu, il m'en a coûté 100$ avec Dr Michaud, qui a les deux pieds sur terre, qui respecte l'animal autant que le client, et qui propose au client plusieurs options de soins et scénarios. Il partageait le même avis que deux autres amies vétérinaires: mon chat est correct et il faut laisser le temps agir. Merci Dr Michaud!
(Translated) The veterinarian takes care of explaining everything to you. Best veterinarian I have had the pleasure of meeting in several years! (Original) Le vétérinaire prend soin de tout vous expliquer. Meilleur vétérinaire que j'ai eu le plaisir se rencontrer en plusieurs années !
I was told by another vet that my dog's cough was asthma was recommended that I use my puffer on him and get him some acupuncture in Carleton Place. Coughing got worse and our vet office cut me off after 12 years. Dr Michaud took us in and indicated that my dog wasn't asthmatic-- he was I'm the stages of congestive heart failure! Needless to say, Dr Michaud is now our vet!
I have a literal life and death matter with my.pug and waited all day for.this Dr. Michaud to call back. I tried to reach him 3 times in one day and kept getting the answer that he is busy! I get it but I needed 5 minutes of this doctors time! Disgusting, the lady vet that used to work there would always call back within the hour. Clearly this vet doesn't care and I will take my business elsewhere! I talked very highly of this clinic until today and will never recommend you to anyone one of.my.fur baby friends again! So angry!
Microaggression Today I came in to get my kitten checked and I know things happen sometimes but this place is always 45 minutes behind appointments so that's something to consider if you're looking for a new vet. I was told Dr. Michaud was doing a surgery so I was pretty understanding & patient about the situation. Once admitted, I let him know I speak English to which he replied "Here in Quebec we speak French" Of course I'm not taking it personally, I'm aware that I have nothing to do with other people's ignorance and lack of self awareness. I only hope that in this field which calls for a lot of empathy and compassion, that our health professionals are encouraged to continually educate themselves. I have no doubt that all the positive reviews here are accurate and I'm truly happy for those who had a good experience. I am leaving this review to raise awareness and maybe even encourage self reflection. I have contacted other vets but unfortunately because of COVID-19, they can't accept new clients yet so we will keep our appointments to have our kitten vaccinated. I would like to mention though that their veterinary assistants and receptionists are lovely and efficient.
(Translated) Dr. Michaud is the best veterinarian I have met since I started having pets. (Original) Dr. Michaud est le meilleur vétérinaire que j'ai rencontré depuis que j'ai des animaux de compagnie.
On their site: they have new patient forms. I filled in 2 forms, emailed them, followed up 2 times and no response!!! After insisting on the phone, they said: oh well, you emailed us? Not accepting patients. Lol!!! A waste of time!
Dr. Michaud is the kindest vet I have had the pleasure to deal with..my beloved cat became extremely ill and has gone to heaven but Dr. Michaud did everything he could for Felix. I am grateful to him for treating me and my cat with seldom seen kindness in this day and age. I will definitely take any new kitten I get to have the same wonderful care. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for all you did to help me in such a stressful and sad time in my life without you I don't think I would be able to adopt a new family member.
This Veterinary Hospital is awesome I give for them 20 stars the most professional service, the personnel really care about about our furry baby's not.
(Translated) Super good service and excellent veterinary !!! (Original) Super bon service et excellent vétérinaire !!!
(Translated) Very good service and the vet Very calm twice I go there for 2 cats. I recommend it to everyone! (Original) Très bon service et le vétérinaire Très calme fait 2 fois je vais là pour 2 chats .Je le recommande à tous!
Good service. Competent.
After spending 740$ at the emergency hospital in Ottawa and getting NO result or diagnostic on Saturday, I saw Dr. Michaud on Monday. He performed a life saving surgery (really bad uterine infection and loss of blood) on Tues morning. The compassion, professionalism and honesty shown by Dr. Michaud and the staff I met (Martine and Marguerite) helped us get through. Thank you!! You have restored my faith in people.
(Translated) Doctor Michaud is honest, efficient and straightforward. The only negative point is that he is always at least 25 minutes late (45 minutes last time, no excuse or explanation) but since he is good with our dog, we are grateful for his care. (Original) Docteur Michaud est honnête, efficace et franc. Le seul point négatif est qu’il a toujours au moins 25mn de retard (45mn la dernière fois, aucune excuse ni explication) mais comme il est bon avec notre chien, on est reconnaissants de ses soins.
This Veterinary Hospital is one of the best in town, both sides of the river. Everyone is very professional. They are true animal lovers and very compassionate. They want what's best for your pet, but also what's best for you and your family. I've never felt rushed in an appointment. On the contrary, I've often felt like I was the only client in the place. I had the staff's undivided attention. In this go-go-go world, where productivity is the end all, be all, and you're just a number, that's an incredibly rare thing to find.
(Translated) Excellent service at all times (Original) Excellents services en tout remps
I take my dog here and receive amazing vet service when I do. They do thorough examinations and are reasonably priced. My difficulty is the inability to reach anyone most of the time. To book appointments is difficult. I often do not receive callbacks and have to call myself. Also, I once had an emergency with my dog and called the emergency phone number with no response. We have since moved to another vet for easier appointment booking and peace of mind for emergencies.
Even 3 years after we got our roofing done, their customer service is impeccable.
(Translated) Edit: Nov 7 I had 5 stars at this clinic and I'm down to 3. It's been 2x (2 days in a row) that I call for an appointment. The receptionists tell me that she will call me back for an appointment. She never called me back. So I call back the next day, she tells me again that she will call back and does not call me back. I loved my first visit with this vet! I really like how he told me in detail about what he was doing and paf report to all the subjects we are discussing. I have a reactive dog and he reacted very well to her (she was muzzled of course). He was also very honest and transparent about the frequency of the vaccines, which I greatly appreciate. (Original) Edit: 7 nov. J'avais 5 etoiles a cette clinique et je baisse a 3. Ca fait 2x (2 jours de suite) que j'appel pour un rendez-vous. La receptionists me dit qu'elle va me rappeler pour un rv. Elle ne m'a jamais rappeler. Donc je rappel le lendemain, elle me dit encore qu'elle va rappeler et ne me rappel pas. J'ai adorer ma premiere visite avec ce veterinaire! J'ai bien aimer comment il m'a parler en detail de ce qu'il faisait et paf rapport a tout les sujets du quel nous discussions. J'ai un chien reactif et il a tres bien reagit face a elle (elle etait museller bien sure). Il a aussi ete tres honnete et transparent face a la frequence des vaccins, ce que j'ai enormement apprecier.
They do take good care of your animal and the prices are cheap. BUT they are always running behind (30 minutes minimum) and the old vet is also very abusive with his staff. Saw it happen multiple times but the worst was when he started yelling at a tech until she burst into tears, simply for forgetting to write down the body temperature on the sheet. And she was apologizing profusely during the verbal beating...geez..
Had an amazing service through Dr. P. Michaud. My dog had some issues and had me and my girlfriend truly worried for him, but Dr. P. Michaud reassured us a lot about the situation and took great care of Kanouk during the appointment.
Docteur Michaud is a very dedicated vet!
Dr. Michaud is by far one of the best veterinarian's I've ever seen. The whole team is so passionate and kind. I drive 45 minutes to see him, worth every minute.
The employees and Vet are all very friendly and there to help when it comes to my pets. Prices are very reasonable. I often have a very hard time getting in contact with someone Both on the phone and via email which is the only downside.
Dr Michaud has to be the most dedicated vet I've ever met. He spends a lot of time checking the animals and making sure they're alright. You sometimes have to wait a little but it is well worth it. I wish I could find a doctor for myself with the same dedication.
Amazing vet service. Bilingual and incredibly thorough. Very empathetic and kind.
Dr. Michaud is a very caring and wonderful vet. We have been taking our two dachshunds (Frodo who is 8 and Loki who is 5) to him for years. He always goes above and beyond. I highly recommend him.
We had to take our cat in for an emergency procedure and Dr Michaud was fantastic. So caring, and kind and treated us with such compassion! Will definitely recommend! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Great vet, very friendly and very knowledgeable.
(Translated) It is the best veterinary clinic in the City of Gatineau. Thank you very much for taking such loving care of my little Charlotte and Charlize! ❤️ (Original) C’est la meilleure clinique vétérinaire de la Ville de Gatineau. Merci beaucoup pour s’occuper avec beaucoup d’amour de mes petites Charlotte et Charlize! ❤️
(Translated) The only reason I have not given a 5 star is that it is not on time for the scheduled appointment. But since he's very knowledgeable and the only vet in his office, I can't blame him! (Original) La seule raison pour laquelle je n’ai pas donné un 5 étoiles, il n’est pas à l’heure quant au rdv fixé. Mais comme il est très compétent et qu’il est le seul vétérinaire à son bureau, je ne peux pas lui en tenir rigueur!
In the past my experiences here were fine and I’ve never had any issues. So I decided to take my cat to get spayed. When I came to pick her up, they laid her on the table and there was blood gushing out of her everywhere and they had the audacity to tell me it was normal. They noticed it was too much blood for it to be normal, took her out and left for hours. Apparently they were too incompetent to perform what I assume to be a pretty routine type of surgery and left her with so much internal bleeding that she would’ve died. Luckily she didn’t and they fixed it but tried to charge me 1200$ because they had to perform a second surgery for their mistake. It’s safe to say that I’m never coming back.
(Translated) We love Dr. Michaud! Many years of experience and a very nice, competent and welcoming team! Thank you! (Original) On adore Dr.Michaud! Beaucoup d'années d'expérience et une très belle équipe compétente et acceuillante! Merci!
The staff is exceptional and Dr Jeffs is truly amazing! You pet with get the best kind of support by people who genuinely care. And more importantly, they don't advice you to do expensive procedures that aren't necessary. You can't got wrong with this veterinarian.
(Translated) Great experience and quality veterinarian (Dr. Michaud). The staff (technician and receptionist were welcoming and superb). We have had awful experiences with our Australian Shepherd since the breeder and our visit to the AnimaPlus chains. He took the time to answer our questions, to properly assess our puppy, he is brilliant, with experience, knowledge and the welfare of animals is very close to his heart. We finally found our vet! Great! (Original) Super expérience et vétérinaire de qualité (Dr. Michaud). Le personnel (technicienne et réceptionniste étaient accueillants et superbes). Nous avons eu des expériences affreuses avec notre berger australien depuis l'éleveuse et notre visite dans les chaînes AnimaPlus. Il a prit le temps de répondre à nos questions, de bien évaluer notre chiot, il est brillant, à de l'expérience, des connaissances et le bien-être des animaux lui tient vraiment à coeur. Nous avons enfin trouvé notre vétérinaire! Super!
I was very dissatisfied with the service and continued follow up to my pets appointments. They left us waiting in a small room for over 30 minutes. We left. They should have told us that they were delayed.
(Translated) The veterinarian takes a lot of time to ostrust the animals. He does not work on record and test results, as do medical practices. (Original) Le vétérinaire prend beaucoup de temps pour l'osclustation des animaux. Il ne travaille pas sur dossier et résultats d'analyses, comme font les cabinets médicaux.
By far the best vet!!!
(Translated) The clinic was able to offer me an emergency appointment the same day with my cat for a bite that became infected. Dr. Michaud showed honesty, dedication to care for my cat and patience. He shared his passion by taking the time to explain the details to me and he even gave me creative and free food suggestions to prevent my cat from eating too much in the future. In short, I simply loved my experience at this clinic. I recommend without hesitation. Thanks again for your great work! I am very grateful for that. (Original) La clinique a été en mesure de m'offrir un rendez-vous d'urgence la même journée avec mon chat pour une morsure qui s'est infecté. Dr. Michaud a fait preuve d'honnêteté, de dévouement pour soigner mon chat et de patience. Il a partager sa passion en prenant le temps de bien m'expliquer les détails et il m'a même fait des suggestions alimentaires créatives et gratuites pour éviter que mon chat mange trop dans le futur. Bref, j'ai tout simplement adoré mon expérience à cette clinique. Je recommande sans hésiter. Merci encore pour votre beau travail ! J'en suis très reconnaissante.
Great prices. Friendly people
(Translated) In this time of pandemic, this veterinary clinic is open on Saturdays. No longer having specialized food for my cat and my veterinary clinic was closed, I could not get this food in a pet store, moreover it is strongly advised not to change the food suddenly so I was relieved that this clinic was open and allowed me to purchase the specialty food I needed. (Original) En ce temps de pandémie, cette clinique vétérinaire est ouverte le samedi. N'ayant plus de nourriture spécialisée pour mon chat et que ma clinique vétérinaire était fermée, je ne pouvais pas me procurer cette nourriture dans une animalerie, de plus il est fortement déconseillé de changer la nourriture brusquement alors j'ai été soulagée que cette clinique soit ouverte et m'a permis d'acheter la nourriture spécialisée que j'avais besoin.
(Translated) I recommend, finally, a good veterinarian who does not abuse drugs and always gives good advice to clients. In addition, on weekends they have a line that you can speak directly with the vet if there is an emergency! Thank you for everything. (Original) Je recommande, finalement un bon vétérinaire qui n'abuse pas des médicaments et conseil toujours bien les clients. En plus, le weekend ils ont une ligne auquel on peut parler directement avec le vétérinaire si il y a une urgence! Merci pour tout.
I have known this vetenerian for over 15years. He was here to give my cat his first shots, and his last one. On my dear cats last hour I called Dr.Michaud at 7:30am, and he rushed through rush hour traffic to help me and my cat. Sadly we had to put him down but when he arrived, they stopped everything for me and Minou. Thank you again for all the years for undivided attention. MINOU I'll never forget you R.I.P
Best vet! I've seen many comments about the wait time, which I don't understand the complaint...I wait for at least 1.5 - 2 hrs to see my own family doctor, this isn't any different. Things come up while working in the medical field, it is inevitable. He's very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He takes the time to properly inform us about any concerns we may have. The staff is also very kind and compassionate and are very helpful. Thank you to the team at vet de la Montagne!
Excellent! Couldn't ask for more! My questions, concerns, are always answered. I know for sure I can always count on Dr. Michaud. He went over and beyond for my beloved Samoyed Misha many years ago.
they took us in when no one else could however they stuck us in a room for over an hour before the dr even came in. He didn’t introduce himself. Examined my cat for not even 5 minutes and said he had Tumours in his stomach. He decided to do tests to reassure us or himself (ex-ray and ultrasound) never once told us the cost or offered us a choice. In the end he handed me a bill for 545$ (Cost Did Not even include pain meds for him) while Suggesting to euthanize him for $150. We were in shock, hurt and truly not ready to leave our 19 year old fur baby there with a stranger so we took him home. He did pass 5 days later in my care. A personal choice that wasn’t easy but don’t regret. In general I think they are non professional and are there just for the money. There was no consideration for our feelings nor my cats. ????
Very good. The only issue, they don't respond emails. So I had to go there in person to get a medical history of my pet. Hopefully this minor issue will be fixed.
(Translated) Excellent service (Original) Excellent service
(Translated) A big thank you to Dr Michaud and all his team who met us urgently and provided quality care to our dog. You can see that he is passionate, very competent and has the good of animals at heart. We feel in good hands! (Original) Un grand merci à Dr Michaud et toute son équipe qui nous a rencontré en urgence et a offert des soins de qualité à notre chienne. On peut voir qu’il est passionné, très compétent et a le bien des animaux à coeur. On se sent entre bonnes mains!
I had a very disappointing experience at this hospital. To start with, I was told that they were running 30 min late when I arrived for my appointment. When we did eventually see the doctor (who was very nice), our appointment seemed to take forever. We needed 2 forms to be filled out, that was it. We had already prepared a form so that the doctor could take the info from one form onto another. This SHOULD have taken 20 - 30 minutes, MAX, but it took well over an hour. Once we were finally done with our appointment, the rudest receptionist in the world proceeded to tell me that our fee had to go up significantly because of the fact that our appointment took 'forever'. She then blamed ME for the length of the appointment and expressed her displeasure that they were now ' running very behind' and that it was somehow my fault. Sorry, but how is that MY fault? The appointment was supposed to cost $60.00 plus tax, but she ended up charging me $168.00 plus tax... When I questioned her about the charges, she literally yelled at me and said that she had to charge me because it took so long. I looked her in the eye and told her that I was simply asking her a question and she then apologized for her behavior. She was, I kid you not, a very, very rude miserable woman with zero customer service skills who apparently hates her job. Horrible experience and would not recommend them to anyone. The vet himself was very nice.
Great service! The entire staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. This clinic was the only hospital to promptly book an appointment. Dr. Michaud took very good care of my 12 year old cat. He even called to follow up to see how my cat Charlie was doing. I highly recommend Dr. Michaud and his clinical staff. Thank you so much for everything. My cat is happy and healthy again thanks to you.
(Translated) Following a very positive recommendation, we met Dr. Michaud with my dog this evening. It was for a follow-up after a visit to an emergency in Ottawa (where I had waited 6½ hours before my dog was seen ... that was a wait !!) - -Dr Michaud took the time to listen, to question and then to evaluate it. Dr Michaud answered all of our questions and concerns. He took the time to inform us of all the details related to my dog's condition, what I should do if the situation repeated itself and the effect of his medication - WHAT I had not been told. explain to the emergency !!! Competent, rigorous, courteous, attentive and sensitive to the needs of our aging dog. Thank you for your excellent work! Continue to live, share your passion and look forward to seeing you again with our 2nd dog !!! (Original) Suite à une recommandation très positive, nous avons rencontré Dr. Michaud avec mon chien ce soir. C'était pour un suivi après visite dans une urgence d'Ottawa (où j'avais attendu 6h½ avant que mon chien soit vu...ça, c'était de l'attente!!) - -Dr Michaud a pris le temps d'écouter, de questionner et ensuite de l'évaluer. Dr Michaud a répondu à toutes nos questions et inquiétudes. Il a pris le temps de nous informer de tous les détails en lien avec la condition de mon chien, ce que je devais faire si la situation se répétait et de l'effet de sa médication -- CE qu'on avait omis de m'expliquer à l'urgence!!! Compétent, rigoureux, courtois, à l'écoute et sensible aux besoins de notre chien vieillissant. Merci de votre excellent travail! Continuez de vivre, de partager votre passion et au plaisir de vous revoir avec notre 2e chien !!!
(Translated) As we urgently searched for a vet for our who appeared to have developed necrosis and none of the clinics called in the area offered room, the person who answered the phone listened to us intently, and referred us to a vet. from the clinic who not only gave us advice on the phone, but also offered us an opening for an appointment during her extremely busy day. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart. (Original) Alors que nous cherchions d'urgence un vétérinaire pour notre qui semblait avoir développé une nécrose et qu'aucune des cliniques appelées dans la région offrait de place, la personne qui a répondu au téléphone nous a écoutés attentivement, et nous a référé à un vétérinaire de la clinique qui nous a non seulement conseillés au téléphone, mais nous a aussi offert une ouverture pour un rendez-vous au cours de sa journée extrêmement chargée. Merci à tous deux du fond du coeur.
(Translated) Called 3 times for an appointment, no answer during the day, I got the line hung up directly the 3rd time. Left a message asking to call me back, no call back. I dare not imagine what kind of service you give, we will try elsewhere, imagine if it was an emergency. Edit: I left my number at work, 2 times, no "voicemail full" or cell number. We will let it happen. (Original) Appellé 3 fois pour un rendez-vous, aucune réponse durant la journée, me suis fait raccroché la ligne au nez directement la 3eme fois. Laissé un message demandant de me rappeller, aucun retour d'appel. J'oses pas imaginer quel genre de service vous donnez, on vas essayer ailleur, imaginez si c'était une urgence. Edit: J'ai laissé mon numéro au travail, 2 fois, pas de "boîte vocale pleine" ou de numéro de cellulaire. On vas laisser faire.
(Translated) Very very good veterinary clinic. Congratulations to Dr. Michaud and congratulations to his team. (Original) Très très bonne clinique vétérinaire. Bravo au docteur Michaud et bravo à son équipe.
Merci / Thank you for being an example of tender humanity towards Animals, and helping my much beloved Cat in Her most dire of times. Her passing was painless, humane, ethical, and profoundly Professional. I would entrust Dr. Michaud with any animal, the World over. I will be forever & always grateful.
(Translated) I have always had good service (Original) J'ai toujours eu du bon service
(Translated) I called Monday November 16, 2020 for an urgent request for my cat. The receptionist informed me that the vet was in consultation and that he would call me before the end of the day. It is Friday, November 20 and no calls. (Original) J'ai appeler lundi 16 novembre 2020 pour une demande urgente pour mon chat. La réceptionniste m'as informer que le vétérinaire était en consultation et qu'il me téléphonerais avant la fin de la journée. On est le vendredi 20 novembre et aucune appel.
(Translated) Warm welcome from staff and veterinarian Dr. Michaud very empathetic and human. Impeccable service, I will not hesitate to recommend this clinic. (Original) Accueil chaleureux du personnel et vétérinaire Dr Michaud très empathique et humain. Service impeccable, je n'hésiterai pas à recommander cette clinique.
So impressed! If I could give 10 stars I would. Took my dog in due to a minor dog bite. Just wanted it checked and I was blown away by how thurough they were. My dog Bella & I were very happy to find a perfect clinic :)
(Translated) Kind and attentive staff. We see that they really love animals. They take their time to calm the animal down. What is not seen everywhere ... They asked to take their annual photo with my little pitou! The assistants and technicians recognized my baby poodle on the 2nd visit and they roll over it every time he comes to see them. They literally let go of their work to give him affection and speak to him hihi !! I have full confidence in them and their advice on diet, training, behavior, exercises, tips, etc. The technician took the time to draw me from several angles and cut the dog's claws so that I understand how to cut them. She physically showed me how to do it and recommended a special scissor since it is still small and the big nail clipper I bought will only be good in more than 4-5 months. They are always available to answer all our questions. I highly recommend them! (Original) Personnel gentil et attentif. On voit qu'ils aiment vraiment les animaux. Ils prennent leur temps pour que l'animal se calme. Ce qui n'est pas vu partout... Ils ont demandé à prendre leur photo annuelle avec mon ptit pitou! Les adjointes et techniciennes ont reconnu mon bébé caniche à la 2ème visite et elles capotent dessus chaque fois qu'il vient les voir. Elles lâchent littéralement leur travail pour lui donner de l'affection et lui parler hihi!! J'ai entièrement confiance en eux et en leurs conseils en alimentation, dressage, comportement, exercices, trucs, etc. La technicienne a pris le temps de me faire un dessin de plusieurs angles et en coupe des griffes du chien afin que je comprenne comment les lui couper. Elle m'a montré physiquement comment le faire et recommandé un ciseau spécial puisqu'il est encore petit et que le gros coupe ongle que j'avais acheté ne sera bon que dans plus de 4-5 mois. Ils sont toujours disponibles pour répondre à toutes nos questions. Je les recommande vivement!
Been going there for almost 30 years & Will continue as long as i have animals !! The greatest and honest vet I've ever known if u love yr animals & want them being taken care of with love THATS THE PLACE FOR U. And live 45 min away but all worth the ride. He's #1 vet in my book !!!!!!
Dr. Michaud is so wonderful and his team that supports the clinic is helpful, courteous and professional.
Staff are very nice! They took my kitty in on the same day as I called. And treated him wonderfully. Going to go to them from now on!!
Very bad experience! I've even bringing my dog for over 2 years and used to love it there. I had an appointment today for an annual check up and was booked with Dr Michaud for the first time. First for all waited in the consult room for 30 minutes until I decide to ask the front desk if it was going to take long, 2 minutes later Dr Michaud opens the door halfway to tell me he was going to be late and will see me when he's done(this was alread I've waited for 30mins) closes the door behind him when I was asking how long it was going to take him, to which he answered (door closed) when I'm done. Very unprofessional, specially coming from the owner. Total dissapointment, I'm definitely never coming back!!
Dr. Michaud is the best vet ive ever met one who really cares about animals for sure
Called to inquire about pricing for neutering on behalf of a friend, and the male technician on the phone was incredibly rude, he rushed me through speaking in regards to the simple question I called to inquire about. All I asked for was a rough estimate, but instead of offering that information or providing any indication that he even understood my question, he said “uh, we cannot do it now, ok Bye” No it’s actually not okay, because that’s not why I called, I wasn’t asking for an appointment today. Honestly caught a vibe as though he was annoyed that 1. I called, and 2. I wasn’t speaking French, which is why my potential business with them was denied. I don’t know how their services are, but customer service speaks volumes. Absolutely no common mannerisms, niceties or direction whatsoever, tells me you’re not a clinic I would trust to perform surgeries on my animals. If you can’t even offer up 1 moment of undistracted time to answer a direct question, or even listen to the question for that matter, then I would say your ability to provide proper care to an animal is miniscule. If you’ve had a good experience with this vet then I’m glad for that, but first impressions are everything, and this one was incredibly poor. If you’re seeking a new veterinarian in the city of Quebec/surrounding areas, may I recommend Eardly or Lachute. Fantastic customer services!! - Again I was calling on behalf of a friend, so those options were not available to her, .org I would have sent her there. Good luck! ????????
(Translated) Wow their emergency service is really bad, unable to call us back (Original) Wow leur service urgence est vraiment nul incapablw de nous rappeller
(Translated) After paying $ 115 they send me home with my cat and tell me that it is possibly a blockage .... and to monitor him. And he has given him nothing to help him. My cat is Dan's the same condition as before having an eye on it.I absolutely do not recommend ???? !! (Original) Apres avoir payer 115$ ils ma renvoyer a la maison avec Mon chat en me disant que c'est possiblemrnt un bloquage....et de le surveiller.et il ne lui a rien donner pour l'aider????. Mon chat est Dan's le meme etat qu'avant d'y avoir eye.je ne recommande absolument pas ????!!
(Translated) Dr. Michaud truly understands animals! He and his excellent team take the time to answer your questions. (Original) Dr. Michaud comprend vraiment les animaux! Lui et son excellente équipe prennent le temps de répondre à vos questions.
(Translated) Emergency visit with Dr. Michaud. Very conpréhensive and ethical. I recommend it to everyone. (Original) Visite d'urgence avec le Dr Michaud. Très conpréhensive et éthique. Je le recommande à tous.
(Translated) A big thank you to Dr Michaud who saw us in an emergency for my dog Ti-Loup which we believed in his last moments when the clinic where we went told us that the veterinarian did not have time to see us !. He welcomed us and reassured us. His competence and his experience are very obvious and above all he is empathetic. He takes the time to explain to us. I continue with him! (Original) Un gros merci à Dr Michaud qui nous a vu en urgence pour mon chien Ti-Loup qu’on croyait dans ses derniers moments alors que la clinique où nous allions nous a dit que la vétérinaire n’avais pas le temps de nous voir!. Il nous a accueilli et rassuré. Sa compétence et son expérience sont très évidentes et surtout il est empathique. Il prend le temps de nous expliquer. Je continue avec lui!
