Dogs Only Medical Ctr

My current dog has been seen by Dr. P since 2004, prior to that she cared for my previous 2 dogs. I am appalled by some of the posts on this site. Dr. P has always been professional and friendly at my visits. Whenever I am concerned about costs for a particular visit I always ask for an estimate and its never an issue. Sure I could take my dogs to a low cost vet clinic but that is not the kind of care I want. Dr. P and her staff know me and my dogs. When i have an appt there, I know what to expect.

After moving to Gahanna, we received a postcard for a Free Consultation Visit for this place and figured we'd try it out for our healthy 1-year old Black Lab. We took her to Dogs Only and were happy with the waiting room and how it really seems built for dogs. The facility overall seemed to be very nice. After getting into the room and being shown a slideshow on how dogs are wolves and that we shouldn't feed her just regular dog food as that's primary vegetarian - we thought the place to be a little odd but kept an open mind. After all, the slideshow did have a good point. Another point of the slideshow was to sell themselves as experts which also also seemed odd as we were already in the office, but it was nice to have something to do while waiting for the doctor. As we were in the waiting room, we were asked to come up with 3-5 questions about our puppy to ask the vet. We guessed that this was in part to help us see their expertise and knowledge and to make a better judgement ... Read more

I took my precious dog Jake to several vets including OSU and Med Vets and was never prescribed the right treatment until I took him to Dr. ...

Dr. Prescott and staff are wonderful. They were very compassionate when Ruby was ill. They were also very reassuring when my husband and I didn't know what to do. Ruby is all better and we are very thankfull for their help through such a difficult time.

O my God.... The reviews with one star are spot on. She was the most judgmental person ever if you preceded to question her. It cost me at-l...

I became a proud owner of a yellow labrador puppy last April. I decided to take her to Dogs Only and I could not have been more pleased. Now, she is almost a year and Dr. Prescott and her staff have given me all the information and recommendations that has not only made me a better dog owner but Bailey the dog she is today. When we are there for an appointment she is so excited she practically drags me thru the door!

When my dog had to be hospitalized Dr. Prescott was very caring. I received constant updates on his recovery. I knew he was in good hands and I will be forever grateful.

I just moved to New Albany and received their newsletter in the mail. I called to make an appointment and they were able to fit me in sooner than I had expected. The staff was very friendly and were insterested in Mitzi's care. It was a great experience!

I was a new resident of Gahanna, and Dr. Prescott's office was very convenient to my neighborhood. At first I thought I was misinterpreting Dr. Prescott and her staff. Instead of being asked about new (and sometimes expensive) treatments or shots for my dog, I was told. When I questioned anything, I was met by defensiveness and an air of condescension. I had patronized some of the best vets in Columbus, and none of them charged as much for basic services, nor treated me in this manner. There was also an underlying feeling that making money was more important than how the customers - both two and four-legged - were treated. The final thing that compelled me to go elsewhere occurred when the name of the practice changed to Dogs Only; there was a complete change in the personality of Dr. Prescott. It was as if she was trying too hard to be nice - or nicer. It felt very inauthentic. They also began to send (many) offensive color advertisements about heartworm treatment that showed... Read more

My 14 year old Sharpei had always suffered from allergies until we took her to see Dr. P. She definitely knows what she is doing and you can...

I took my senior dog to Dr. Prescott when others said he couldn't be helped. I am so thankful I did, because she was the only one who figured out what was wrong with him & now he is acting young and frisky again.

We are very happy with Dr. Prescott. She always sits down and talks to me before she checks my dog. You can tell she truly loves dogs and pe...

She helped me when I was over 1000 miles away & my dog became very sick. Even my husband who never met her was overwhelmed with the kindness and empathy she showed us that day.

Dr. Prescott claims to be a specialist for dog dentistry. She is not registered as a dental specialist for dogs at all. Check into Dr. Cline, who is also in the Columbus area. At least Dr. Cline is a registered Dental specialist for Dogs. Also overpriced and very demeaning and talks down to clients. I bet she didn't expect another veterinarian of 17 years to come in to test the service and see if she knew what she was doing. A 75% price increase is normal for any medical services... She charges an estimated 300% for medical services. Good luck to anyone who takes their Dog to "Dogs Only", An overpriced, unregistered specialist, Dr. Prescott.

Truly a terrible experience. My yorkie needed her remaining 13 teeth out, received an estimate for 445.64 then after my dog was out that in...

I am in the customer service buisness, so I know that wheter it is a/c repair, the dentist or the vet office, everyone's experience can be different. I found this to be one of the best offices I have ever visited. It was clean, and the staff was very friendly. I got alot of dog information that I had never heard before and my dog was treated very kindly.

I received an offer in the mail for a free examination. My dog was due for her physical examine so I figured I would try it. We had always gone to Gahanna Animal Hospital but this was closer to my home. The only thing that Dr. Prescott did our of the ordinary was a heartworm test so I thought. When I got to the desk to pay to my surprise my bill for that "free" examine was $250.00!!!!!!! I will NEVER return!!! They took my dog in the back for a "free" nail trim which they ended up cutting too short and were bleeding when they brought her back in the room but to find out they also took a urine sample to due routine tests on. I have owned dogs for over 15 years and NEVER paid this for an examination on a perfectly healthy dog!! I was outraged and will not return!!

These postings make me feel so much better. I stuck it out with her for over two years. One incident was my animal had a spot on his side,...

I appreciated Dr. Prescott's caring and direct approach. In just one visit Brutus is looking and feeling much better. She was confident in her diagnosis and treatment which made me feel at ease. It was the first time in a long time that I felt good about the vet he is seeing. The staff was warm and friendly and the building was very clean and didn't smell like a vet office.

I have had problems with waiting at other vet hospitals but the wait there is way too long. You could wait in the lobby 20-30 minutes and then another 30 minutes in the room before the Dr steps in. The prices are outragious. You can not leave without spending over $300 if your pet is well. They also try to pressure you into buying un-needed things (harness and combs). The staff seems wonderful and the dr is knowledgable. Cons: too high prices and too long of wait. Pros:The office is clean and smells good.

I just moved here and everyone there made me feel welcomed. I was very thankful when they gave me a list of services for my dogs in the area, so I didn't have to go looking for a kennel. I was especially pleased with Dr. Prescott, at the visit because she was very gentle with my 10 year old dog.

I?ve been taking my puppy to Dr. Prescott a few times, but the more we go to her the more I feel like we are a big inconvenience to her. She seemed nice at first, but the more we talked the more I felt I was being pushed off. At one point in time, I must have asked too many questions because she got really snappy with me. But what irked me was the manner in which she responded to some of my questions. This is the first time I have ever owned a pet of any kind and I just want to make sure I?m doing it right. At one point she responded to me in a way that totally shocked me. She basically told me that I didn?t have a right to be asking her questions because she is the vet and her job is to heal my baby and let her do her job by doing what she needs to be doing. I am sure she is a good veterinarian, but I don?t think I?m comfortable going back to her.

Dr. Prescott took the time to let my nervous dog warm up to her and didn't rush the visit. This iwas the first vet visit my dog ever enjoyed.

I was very happy when I met Dr. Prescott. I could tell she truly cares for her patients. It was the first time I met a vet so passionate about my dog's health

We had an excellance visit with Dr. Prescott. She was wonderful with Ty. She got right down on the floor and started playing with him. I learned more from her about dogs on that one visit than I had in many years of having dogs

AfterAfter giving Dr. Prescott the benefit of doubt several times we have opted to find a new vet. She never answers my questions. She spoke down to me. Pushed services and treatments on my dogs even when I wasn?t comfortable then she was saying things to me like, ?I?m sorry then for your pet because it is my job to fix it and since you like to cause your dog pain?? I got a second opinion on my dog because something about her didn?t sit right with me. Turned out to be a misdiagnosis. I get the feeling that because she ?specializes in one breed? that she can basically see a symptom that could be a symptom of a multitude of diseases claims it a certain disease b/c she sees one symptom and then makes money off of her client.

"I was so thankful that I found a doctor who figured out what was wrong with Bowzer-Thanks to Dr. Prescott now he is like a pup again.?

When I called, I was upset about my dog being sick and the receptionist put me at ease. Dr. Prescott showed compassion that's rare these days and now my dog is doing great

She was very pushy and overpriced. We scheduled an appt after getting a card in the mail for a free consultation. It was time for Heart Worm meds, so we thought we would give her a try. She commented on our dogs retractable leash, saying she does not approve of them and did we know they were banned in Europe. This type of leash works very well for us, and we've never had any problems. Then, she said we needed a special harness (which we did not, our dog does just fine in her regular collar). We only went in for Heart Worm meds and a check up and she tried to sell us everything, even a special comb for shedding (even though we already have one). She also barked orders at her staff and treated them very unkindly. We were very disappointed upon leaving and decided to never return.

Wasn?t all that impressed. Dr. Prescott seemed nice, but came across in a patronizing way, especially when I asked a question or advice on something. I?ve been to better vets. Office was clean though, wasn?t dirty like some are.

I was impressed with the passion that Dr. Prescott showed to my dog. I like that I always see the same Doctor, every time, and that everyone knows mine and my dog's name.

I am one of the few cat owners that have been going to this place since it was Stoney Memorial Hospital. I really am pleased with how the staff really is caring for my cat. I have been to other veterinarians which were pretty good but they were very expensive and the waiting area was not the cleanest. It is actually like waiting in a docotr's office for humans. Dogs Only Medical Center is the cleanest veterinary place that I had ever been. The staff is always very friendly and really shows their affection for my baby. Dr. Prescott is very professional but she also has a gentle touch when it comes to my kitty. My cat ususally is very nervous and scared when she goes to the vet but when she goes to this place, she is calm and not frightened at all. They have always treated her very well along with me and my husband. They have always given the estimates in a timely manner. They actual bill was in line with the estimates. They always are very understanding when I am concerned ... Read more

Regardless of your pets history, behavior, ect. Dr. Presscott will only believe what she sees or thinks she should be seeing at the moment. In other words, she generalizes dog behavior to ALL dogs and will push treatments or options on you based on that generalization. However, when I tried to explain that my dog doesn't follow the behavior pattern she claimed it did she became indignant, interrupted me and would not let me finish talking. Instead, she talked over me and put a huge guilt trip on me telling me that "in all her years of experience" she knows that what I am saying isn't true and that although I've "lived with my dog for 3 years that I must not be a good dog parent to her." But, I guess since I've only had dogs my entire life and I live with my dog, I would not know if my dogs can't take pill pockets or need a certain harness (other than the one we have that works great), or that my dog continues to choke on rawhide bones (but don't worry dogs descended from wolves so its ...

I agree with the user who left the anonymous post. We were charged double what the estimate was for a surgery and when I asked the staff abo...

Don't bother taking your pet here. I received poor service and there was an utter lack of professionalism. Wish I had read up on this vet. before I checked her out. Notice how anytime someone writes a bad review an extremely professional written EXCELLENT review pops-up OR you'll see a review in "quotes." She's about as sketchy as her service. Btyqueen-same exact thing happened to me. She ran tests without my consent saying they were going to trim his nails as I had asked-except they never trimmed his nails. Also I was given a price quote for another service and our service ended up being TWICE as expensive as what was quoted. When I asked about it she became hostile. So I wrote a bad review about her. Then she kicked me out of the practice. She also misdiagnosed my dog which screwed up my pet insurance. When we finally got things straightened out between the two of us she told me if I needed help to contact her again. Pet insurance needed a letter from her so I asked her if she'd ... Read more

?The professionalism and care taken of my pet was exceptional.? ?The doctor treated my dog as if it were her own-I really appreciated that.?

She is very very r rude and condescending. She nor her staff take time to listen to you, when she typed out our visit notes she got many things I said wrong. When you have a question about a treatment shje gets in your face and tells you that it is nonnegotiable. We will not be going back.,

I totally agree with everything the first reviewer said about Dr. Prescott. While yes, she's very nice and obviously cares about animals, s...

While raising my puppy for the last 8 months, Dr. Prescott and her staff have been wonderful. They have helped me keep my pet healthy and happy. He loves seeing the group there, and they show nothing but love for my dog. Their advice has been incredibly helpful, and I can't imagine what else someone would want from a vet. My dog Walter LOVES his visits to Stoney Memorial!!!

The Dr sat down to answer all my questions and left me with a clear understanding of my dog's problem.

the friendliest veterinarian we’ve ever seen-very caring and compassionate. Betsy came home relaxed and happy, not stressed at all-very unli...

does not care about your animal companion. she is rude and seems to only be interested in making money. this is based on multiple visits.
