THINK TWICE AND DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE HAVING THIS VET DO AN OP ON your animal They ruined the end of our dog s life and robbed 10k from us during the holidays We dropped our still mobile dog Oscar off at blue pearl and he came out paralyzed He was never able to walk again until we were forced to put him to sleep Blue Pearl is a surgery mill The purpose of this company is to exploit people s love for their pets for money They are a national company whose parent company also owns Banfield Pet Hospital Blue Pearl has 1 of 5 stars and a D- Better Business Bureau rating I found numerous lawsuits against Blue Pearl Nationwide We took our pup Oscar to Blue Pearl in Maitland FL to be examined by Dr Stark the neurologist The receptionist said she did not need his shot records because if you can afford to come here we know you take care of your pet We informed Dr Stark that Oscar had started to drag one of his back legs and recently started having choppy front steps After telling us that IVDD surgery would fix our pup and that it had 95 success rate we decided to proceed with the 10k surgery This was a lie it is more like 40 success rate when you do more research After doing a very expensive MRI Dr Stark said that she found the source of Oscars disk problem and that we should definitely proceed with the surgery After 10k in bills we picked up Oscar shocked to find that he could not walk AT ALL He was paralyzed in a lot of pain and traumatized They said that this was perfectly normal They had failed to mention that we would need to spend 3k more to do physical therapy We got a physical therapist right away A week later we took Oscar to his follow-up with Dr Stark She told us we may need to take our seats And then with almost a smug smile on her face said Well it looks like your dog got another injury since his surgery Because his back legs were fine before Unless you have 10k more to spend on another surgery It looks like euthanasia is the next option You can imagine our shock as we were gaslit If you care about your pup do not let Dr Stark get her hands on him The doctor could not say when or how the 2nd herniated disc occurred because they only examined and x-rayed his neck area and never looked at his entire spine We deeply regret that we had just given our dog steroids so that he could have had a happier end to his life When a large corporation dictates pet care and the doctors practice medicine by checking a box and following a procedure manual the human element is removed from care I am disgusted that this company exploits people s love for their pets to make a profit I feel horrible for putting my precious dog through a traumatic surgical procedure at 13-years old When we informed the doctor that we would not be giving Blue Pearl anymore of our money they handed us some steroids and pain meds and we never heard from them again No follow up call or inquiry about his condition They are cold and ruthless when the revenue source has run out Oscar was a beloved family member who deserved compassionate care that he did not receive at Blue Pearl
