text: The following is going to be a long extensive review, but if I may just save one person, just one person and their pet the excruciating experience my family has had to go through, this will have been worth it. I would like to start off by saying that Dr. Jill Cordiero is the only saving grace this hospital has. She is a phenomenal vet who truly does exemplify compassion and genuinely cares for animals. Unfortunately she was put on my case once it was too late. This week I brought in my Egyptian Sphynx kitten, Denali, into this clinic to undergo a simple declaw procedure due to the fact that I am incredibly allergic to cat scratches. The vet not only used the WRONG tap on a such a fragile delicate kitten which resulted in ripping off the skin everywhere it was placed concluding in severe wounds which scabbed all over, but also (which I cant even comprehend how he did this) cut a huge gash in one of the pads on her paws, clearly this surgery was rushed and executed with as much carelessness as possible. Naturally she had extensive bleeding from such a botched procedure and had to stay an extra night in the hospital. From that point I was told they still needed to bandage  one paw due to slight bleeding and that I would just need to bring her in the following day and they would remove it and all would be well. Mind you when I saw this poor kitten I cried. She has scratches all over her body, her eye, everywhere, I couldn't believe that this procedure turned her body into something looking like it came straight out of a train wreck. This should not have happened. We also paid for a Elizabeth collar (cone collar) and were not sent home with it or instructed to keep it on her so that she may not antagonize her wounds. The next day after we had the last bandage removed we noticed her paw was turning black. After promising Denali she would never have to return to such a place I had to go back on my word because I knew from that point that something was very wrong. We brought her in immediately and were told not to worry that everything would be taken care of. She has now been at the vet for five days (including having to spend the fourth of july there which broke my heart because I can only imagine the trauma she had to go through with all the dogs freaking out due to the red rock fireworks). Today she was transferred to a specialty clinic where they told me that they are going to have to amputate the ENTIRE foot. I can not tell you how distraught I am over this and how much I hate myself for bringing her to this place because i feel responsible for this. I wish so badly that I brought her to  competent vet who uses laser surgery in removing the claws because that is the safest and most painless way to do the procedure. PEOPLE PLEASE LEARN FROM DENALI'S SUFFERING AND DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAT HERE TO BE DECLAWED. SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND TAKE YOUR FAMILY TO A VET WHO IS EXPERIENCED WITH LASER SURGERY!!! Yes they say that this is an extreme case and they've never seen anything like this, but every single complication that has incurred has been THEY'RE FAULT! It turns out that they had an inexperienced, incompetent assistant bandage up Denali and they applied the gauze way way too tight thus resulting in the loss of circulation to her foot which is now giving us no other choice but to sign the amputation papers today. My poor kitten does not have a voice but I DO AND I WILL USE IT TO BRING JUSTICE TO HER SUFFERING. It is a very nice looking building which they claim is state of the art but every time they would bring me Denali when I would visit her, her wounds would be covered in other animals fur from the assistant's unclean uniforms. When they asked me to leave her with them and trust them to take care of her once her paw turned black, I demanded to see the kennel she would be staying in and thy assured me it would be clean, it was covered in fur. I understand there are many nice reviews for this business which is the main reason I trusted them with my cat seeing we just moved here from CA. This hospital has a nice seeming environment with very nice employees and at first I very much liked this place, but unfortunately they lack the most important quality that is imperative in a vet, which is knowledge and skill. The last thing that left a horrible taste in my mouth, Dr. Sabrillo, the vet who did this, came into my place of work to enjoy happy hour while Denali has been in intensive care with two i.v. drips attached to both limbs and I myself have barely been able to pull it together and focus at work, but I'm glad he's desensitized enough to come enjoy a couple drinks while my family is in so much anguish due to his carelessness. If you would like to contact me for pictures or more info please email me at evanonel@yahoo.com. I hope I was able to save at least one person from experiencing the misery my life has been this week and the struggles and hurdles Denali will have to endure for the rest of her life.
