How to Save Money at Dr. Victor Saltzman

Schedule Regular Vet Visits

One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.

Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions

Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.

Pet Insurance

Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Getting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask

Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:

Tell me about your experience with [pet type].

Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.

How do you handle emergencies?

You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.

How do you communicate with pet owners?

Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.

Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?

Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.

Do you have any questions for me about my pet?

This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.

Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?

Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Dr. Saltzman replied to my review 1 year after i posted ìt. My reply to it is at the bottom of this This was my experience with Dr. Saltzman. He was a very nice person and he explained what he was going to do. I had a dog that needed surgery because she blew out her ACL ligament otherwise known as blowing out her knee. I consulted with Dr. Saltzman and he assured me he had performed several of the TT2 operations and all had gone well. The only real possible problem that might arise would be if she ended up breaking the leg in the bone operated on because that bone is split which makes it vulnerable. He assured me if that happened, he would take care of it. The surgery went well. At least I assumed it did because I never heard from Dr. Saltzman again. I find it unusual because all surgeons contact the people they work on and I thought I would hear from him. I didn't. We cared for our dog EXACTLY as we were told but, somehow, she did manage to break that leg. How do I know she broke it? She seemed to be getting better and then started limping hard again. I took her in and had it x-rayed. Sure enough, it was broken. The response I got from Dr. Saltzman? Well, there was no response from him at all. The regular vet I was going through said he spoke to Dr. Saltzman and THEY agreed to not do anything to fix her leg. So they didn't. I didn't realize when Dr. Saltzman said he would take care of her if her leg broke, it meant he wouldn't do anything. So I spent over $2000 to have my dogs blown knee operated on and what I ended up with was a dog with a broken leg. She never walked that well again due to extreme pain in her leg. She put on weight and I had to put her down due to complications from that weight gain. Maybe Dr. Saltzman is good at what he does but when he's bad at what he does, he doesn't seem to care or to correct the damage he has caused. I've lost my trust in him but I'm sure he doesn't care because I've never heard from him. Why did Dr. Saltzman wait a yr. to reply. First of all, I am Mr. Simmons, not Ms. which throws your credibility to shame for saying you made efforts to contact me. You and the vet I went through most certainly had my phone number that Ive had for 20+ yrs.

In response to the complaint by Ms Simm, there was no effort made to contact me to resolve the apparent complication to the surgery. We attempted to conact Ms Simm after reading her review to no avail. We do everthing within our power to help our patients, alleviate their pain, and solve the problems that are presented to us. If there was a problem, I would have done everything possible to rectify this. Unfortunately we did not get the opportunity to help this patient. Dr. Saltzman
