a $1500 misdiagnosis
Posted by horribleexperience100 on 6/24/2009
Dr.Coffeen was CONFIDENT my dog had a torn ACL and wanted me asap to cough up 1500 bucks for this emergency surgery. Thank god I went else where. Come to find out my dog has fine knees and actually has hip issues and I would have undergone unnecessary surgery, 1500 bucks, hurt my poor dog, and subjected him to 3 months of physical rehabilitation for nothing. Not only that, but being that Dr.Coffeen was under the impression my dog had a torn knee ligament they sent him out completely drugged up after their "inspection" to where he was falling all over the place and could barely walk. My dog is 80 lbs.. now does that make sense for a vet thinking a dog had a busted knee to let the dog out all drugged to where they could damage it even further? I went to Battleground Animal Hospital instead. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM... they actually care and know what they are doing.
Dr. Coffeen is the ONLY vet I prefer to take my dog to

I've taken my dog to Dr. Coffeen since she was 6 weeks old and after 9 years, he is the ONLY Veterinarian I will take her to. He not only has 3 decades of experience, but has the doctoral instincts to boot. If it weren't for him, my dog wouldn't be alive right now. After consulting with the pet's owner, he performs only the necessary tests so as to not run up the bill. He has not only the pet's, but also the owner's best interests in mind. Dr. Coffeen is also a GOOD soul and has a real tender heart for the animals he sees. He is personable and is very down to earth. I recommend him to EVERY pet owner I meet.
Avoid This Veterinarian At All Cost, He Made News Headlines Not In A Positive Way!

This veterinarian, G. Patrick Coffeen has no business practicing Veterinary Medicine. He was caught performing surgery while intoxicated. This was on the local channel 4 new a few years ago. I know this man personally, in fact I worked for him and was sickened by his work ethics, I have no doubt that the news story was acurate. I do not understand why this man is able to practice medicine today. I suppose when you have money and have a big corporation behind you, you can get away with anything. I have been a registered veterinary nurse for over 20 years and have worked with the best. I am also sorry to say that I had worked for the worst as well, G. Patrick Coffeen, it does not get any lower then that.
Very creepy vet

The vet that works there had his license removed for something. It was on the news a few years ago. This place will over charge you, the vet techs there are very rude, esp. the albino one. Stay away from this place!!!!!!!!!!!
