Riverdale Animal Hospital

Took my dog here for care, followed Dr. Tahir orders and returned a week later for a follow up. Everything was going well until I asked if they could have her records faxed to her primary vet. Dr. Tahir gets upset and tells me that what he did for my dog was general and proceeds to tell me that he services poor people and that he doesn't have a computer in the office. I paid over $200. He says his prices are the cheapest around and that I should go to a fancy place where they print out 5 pages. I respond it doesn't have to be printed it can be written. He says it would be $45 for him to give me my dogs records. I respond that's ridiculous. He says I would have to raise my prices for print outs. He says you also called me to ask the name of the medicine. You should go to one of those fancy places he repeats. Dr. Tahir you stated you service "poor people." Does that mean that we are not entitled to the same rights as others? Stop acting as if you're doing the neighborhood a favor with your prices. Perhaps you should fully retire if you can't keep up with the demands of your job. If I go to a store I get a receipt, regardless of the price or area. It doesn't matter if it's written or printed.

Vet recommended my dog get his tail redone, I had bought my dog with his tail docked already. I was coming in just for his ears. Lets just say it led to my dog getting a bacterial infection and I'm out 1000 dollars now. I didn't want to even touch his tail, but the Vet assisted, and said if I didn't get it done now my dog will have a scar forever, because it was not done properly. My dog was in pain for weeks. No pain medicine was giving, I had to to take him to the Er. Where they actually gave my dog a cone to help the wound heal, proper medicine, and treatment. This vet had me buy a cone, and the stated I didn't buy the right one. Money hungry and rude to women was very nice to my Dad though. If you love your dog do not bring him here, I feel like a failure for bringing my dog to this place. If you notice they never address any of their bad reviews. Red flag.

I went today because I was referred there by a family member, and now after reading the reviews I did not experience any of this behavior posted. The vet was vey pleasant as well as the staff and I will be returning for the great care, service, and price.

All shots are $38 and office visit $25. Can't beat that price. In and out no wait time. Communication excellent!

This doctor has no respect for women, and he's money hungry if you love your pet, please don't bring them here. I brought my dog here for ear cropping only, he convinced us our dog tail needed to be recut, because the people who originally did it left scarring, we asked if we could think the tail over, just do the ears, he said no it needs to be done immediately. After the surgery he told us the dangerous side effects of it getting infected, he could die etc but he didn't tell us this before we had the surgery done. Our dog was too big to get the tail recut he is very active and everything, his stitches came open he charged us full price to re-sew it again & blamed us, saying if it bustes open a 3rd time we will pay again. He put wired stitches in that made his tail worst and they were loose. We ended up taking our dog to the emergency room, they took the stitches out and said it made it worst & it was inffected. This doctor didn't give us any medication the first time, he told us to buy our own stuff. He was very rude to me and my sister we are woman he had no respect then I brought my dad in his tone changed and he was nicer, I told him to his face about his rude behavior and being sexist towards women. Never returning and I won't my money back for the horrible tail surgery he did, he almost caused my dog to lose his life, trying to be greedy for money he needs to be shut down.
