Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital Akron

My poor kitty Butters got out about 4 days ago. We had thought someone took him, he us beautiful. He came home this morning and could not walk, he was dragging his hind legs behind him. I initially thought his rib cage was crushed due to what I felt. Of course we rush there, never being there before I was unsure of what was going to happen but naturally we expected the worst.

We called the number on the sign and let them know it was an emergency. They quickly came out and took him. They did their assessment and quickly called me to let me know they started him on iv fluids and pain medication. They told me the costs up-front for the iv and asked about x-rays, the doctor called personally to explain what she thought was going on. I gave permission. I waited about 2 hours. Poor Butters is doing great but needs surgery. I was given 4 options. We unfortunately had to choose for his leg to be removed due to costs. They are so kind and professional. The doctor was very informative and I could feel her sympathy for my guy. As of right now, surgery is tomorrow, he will lose his leg and have pins put in on the other side. Thankfully they believe he will make it. I was told that I can call and check on him anytime, day or night. I am so thankful for this team. Yes, it is a little expensive but what surgery wouldn't be? How much is a life worth? His is irreplaceable. Thank you again.

This is a very busy place so wait times can be long but I'm still giving it 5 stars. 1st and for most the staff is super friendly and sensitive to the fact you have a loved one in need. The Doctors and staff are very informative and keep you up to date every step of the way. I would take my animals here anytime they have a serious injury.

Highly recommend Metro Hospital! My cat, Hammy, had to be monitored for a few nights after having emergency surgery for a urinary blockage. The doctors would call each morning and night with an update and were SO thorough and kind! I felt like they really cared and that meant a lot to me! I did not worry much while he was there as I was confident he was in good hands.

Amazing staff and experience. Best prices in the area. They will always be my first stop for emergency and follow up care. Dr. Chambers was very informative and didn't rush me. He explained everything in terms I could understand. Staff is so caring and compassionate, they kept me calm in an extremely stressful situation. I can't recommend or thank them enough.

Because it's an emergency vet no appointments. But call from car and prepare to wait. But staff is very courteous...very professional...very compasionate. I did have to allow my best friend to cross the rainbow bridge. That you don't have to wait for. Treated me and Skeeter with respect. Gave us as much time as we needed together. For that I am grateful.
