Pickhart Bettina Dipl-TA Dr.

A doctor who isn't available on holidays or weekends. She doesn't post it or mention it anywhere. Her voicemail goes unanswered for hours.

A veterinarian with a stethoscope and a medicine cabinet. If the animal has something serious and needs an X-ray or something similar, she'll refer you elsewhere. Years ago, she refused to treat my 16-year-old cat because she was too old. The other vet treated her ingrown claw without any problems or anesthesia, but then my mother had the idea to have her fur shaved, at which point the vet insisted on general anesthesia. She never recovered from that.

Rip-off! We were looking for a vet for our cat to care for him until the end. We made an appointment on Friday for the following Tuesday. On Sunday, we went to a different clinic due to an emergency. On Monday at 8 a.m., I tried to reach the vet, and again Tuesday morning to cancel the appointment. Instead of a call back, I received a text message on Tuesday saying she should actually charge for the appointment because it had to be canceled 24 hours in advance. Well, if the lovely vet had answered, that would have been fine. Aside from the fact that it doesn't say anywhere that she charges for missed appointments. Absolutely outrageous! Thankfully, I have the call log. So, beware, everyone!
