Great for simple stuff
by LdyVivienne
This place is really cheap for shots and annual test. I don't recommend them for anything else though. I took my dog in with a cyst on the paw. The Doctor looked at it and say it will be ok. After a few days of cleaning up bloody paw prints I went to another vet. They agreed that it was a cyst, but they actually did tests to make sure and they decided that taking it off was the best thing to keep the dog from getting very sick due to a constant open wound. Get your shots there and then get bigger problems taken car of elsewhere
- Pros: Good for shots, cheap prices
- Cons: Don't take in an animal with a bigger health problem

MADE MISTAKE
by Shorty2009
My dog Shorty went to Dr. Newland a while back because he had a growth on his hip. Without doing any type of tests, bloo d work.. NOTHING he just looked at him and said your dog has a cancerous tumor and nothing can be done. He said the only choice later down the road is to put him down. After Shorty suffered and recently stopped eating, we took him to a different vet. They done many tests and confirmed that this growth was a HERNIA NOT A TUMOR. They stated if the first vet would have actually done something about it when it was at an early stage, he could have lived. Since it was no longer at an earlier stage, he had to be put down so he would no longer suffer. How can someone be a vet and do this? I will never return to Dr. Newland or refer anyone to him. Maybe if he would have had put heart, care and knowledge in his work, I would think otherwise. You broke a family's heart as Shorty was part of our family.
- Pros: Nothing
- Cons: Misdiagnosed my pet. Resulted in death.
