I will not or cannot recommend Dr. Johnson. I took my seven year old Aussie in for a removal of a tumor on his shoulder. It didnt seem to bother him in the least; he was an active, energetic dog who was playing, jumping, and running the day before his surgery. I picked him up at 3:30 in the afternoon, as I was told. He was stumbling and falling, and I had to carry him to my car. I called Dr Johnson at 5:20 & told her something was very wrong. His tongue was pale, he was panting and distressed, and couldn’t seem to get comfortable. She told me that was normal and if he didn’t improve, I should bring him in the following morning. I stressed again that I felt something was wrong, but was told to give him pain meds. The office was supposed to close at 6:30 pm. I called at 6:20 to say I was bringing him in, but they were closed. I put him in the car to head to an emergency clinic… he died in my son’s arms before I left my driveway. I left a message for Dr. Johnson, but didn’t hear from her. My husband went to her office two days later and she refused to refund the cost of the surgery. I lost my beautiful boy, and of course I know she can’t bring him back, but her lack of concern is what bothers me most.

I’ve been really happy with the West Side Animal clinic – the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and prices are reasonable. My dog is verrry energetic, and they were patient and loving with her. Also, after putting down my mom’s dog, they sent a really sweet sympathy card. I highly recommend them!
