Decent but not stellar service and/or knowledge – I had my pet spayed there and while the procedure was successful I found the were not immediately helpful or forthcoming with aftercare information. I had to call and ask if it was normal to see some spot bleeding in my pet's urine and they said yes but it would have been nice to have been informed a little beforehand. I was told I could speak to the Dr before the procedure was performed and he had a slight demeanor/tone of being inconvenienced by my desire to ask questions b... read more
Caring Staff – As I have just adopted my first dog and had really no idea what exactly was needed in to give my new family member proper care, I am so glad that this was the first clinic I called and eventually brought my pet to. They explained vaccines, pet food and flea products to me so I could understand. I swear I called them everyday for the first week with some pretty dumb questions ( If I do say so myself), but they alway took the time to anwser them. Also it seems to me that they only recommend services that are nee... read more
Great experience – My pet was very sick and although I got the diagnosis for my pet's problem at another clinic I chose to get him treated at Portland Animal Clinic. I switched clinic's because the staff at Portland Animal Clinic took the time to fully explain what was going on with my pet. Unlike at the other clinic where they just told me I had one very expensive option. Portland Animal Clinic explained step by step what they would be doing to treat my pet. They also explained the reasons why my pet may have gotten ill and... read more
They saved my cat's life. – I had taken my cat to another "chain" clinic because he was not eating. This horrible clinic advised me to euthanize my animal. I took my cat to Dr. Tulacz for a second opinion and my cat's lived another 2 years. Although we eventually had to put my animal to sleep, thanks to Dr. Tulacz he had 2 more years of quality life. If I had listened to the other Dr. at the "chain clinic" I would have not had all that extra time.
I trust my pets to no one else. – I have been taking my pets to Portland Animal Clinic for over 10 years. When I call the clinic, nine out of ten times they recognize my voice and ask how my Goldie is doing. Dr. Tulacz is my docter every time and I see Carol, the main vet assistant every time I am in the clinic. This has been the standard for 10 years. This makes me feel that I am getting the best care possible because they know me and my baby girl, Goldie. From friends that have gone to other clinics, I hear sometimes the s... read more
never seen anything like this – when I first moved here, I had a working interview with the clinic. The first thing I noticed was the standard of cleanliness was quite poor. Old building, poorly maintained and very dirty. When I started to get involved in the work there, I learned that "Dr." Tulacz was very abrupt with people's pets. He was rough and lacked any kind of gentle or soothing touch. There was not enough attention paid to patients in hospital and they were not checked in on enough. While walking by the kennels, I ... read more
Really Caring – In my experience, you have to treat people with respect to get respect. I don't know if that is what is going on here with the negative reviews, but ...I've seen some real high-strung people taking their pets to this vet (any vet, really...people get excited about their pets), and the staff and doctors deal with them the best they can. They took really good care of my cat, who finally needed to be put down at age 19. The doctor came to our house, so that my cat didn't have to suffer the car ride and being at ... read more
Unprofessional and no love for your pet – We were a new couple to Portland and chose to go with Portland Animal Clinic because it was the closest vet clinic to us. This turned out to be the worst decision we have ever made for our pet. Over a period of 3 months they made up ailments that our puppy was having, only to treat these supposed problems with expensive and toxic meds that had very serious side effects. Dr. Tulacz is truly a "poke and hope" vet, who always turns to harsh meds without conclusive evidence to back it u... read more
Bait and switch.... . . – I took my dog to Portland Animal Clinic for boarding. When I mentioned that I was worried about myt dog being lonely, the receptionist offered that they could walk my dog one or two times per day. When I came to pick him up the bill wa $72.00 more than anticipated. Apparently the receptionsit "forgot" to disclose the extra charge of $12.00 per day. Unforuntate when I came to pick him up there are a queue of 3 people and I had just returned from a memeorial service so i didn't wnt to get into a fight... read more
