They're probably fine for administering care based on a recommended schedule however if anything out of the ordinary comes up stay away. Our beloved cat suffered neck trauma and was choking. The vet at Hall vet clinic decided to focus on belly pain, which was not even a symptom. They injected him with fluids, which they admitted that "he didn't like that, he kicked the needle out." Our cat did not improve and we returned a few days later to express this concern. He was now running a fever showing signs of an infection. They seemed baffled and suggested he may require exploratory surgery. Seriously, second visit lets jump right to cutting the cat open?

We decided to get a second opinion. The second vet did a much more thorough examination of the cat, pinpointing exactly where he was experiencing pain and spoke to us like we knew our cat, not that he was the vet and knew best, like Hall vet did. We were advised that the pain medication dose was on the very low end for the size of our cat and also he had an infection of some sort most likely resulting from Hall vet reinserting the IV needle that the cat kicked out without cleaning it / changing it. After performing another set of X-Rays (looking at the neck trauma area this time rather than the stomach that Hall vet did) it was determined nothing was broken but there was a fair amount of soft tissue damage that would be very painful for our cat. All we could do was let things heal however we were given an appropriate dose of pain meds for our cats size so he could be comfortable in recovery. He was also treated for the unknown infection.

Our cat was at least comfortable now being on an appropriate pain medication dose. He gradually improved over the next couple weeks. We did notice there was a painful area and a lump on him which was in the area of where Hall vet injected the fluids on his first visit. A couple days later this lump ruptured and oozed pus and liquid, leaving a hole on his back. Interestingly enough our cat responded to this draining positively like his pain was gone, he returned to normal, with the exception of the hole on his back that needed to heal. We cleaned the hole out, put antibiotic cream on it while it healed. It is now closed and healed over. Our cat does not mind being touched there, or anywhere now, so we know it doesn't hurt him.

Bottom line, our cat initially suffered a trauma to the neck area that resulted in soft tissue damage. There was nothing that could have been done except make him comfortable and allow it to heal. He should have been treated with an appropriate dose of pain medication to make him comfortable while he healed.

What actually happened, Hall vet gave him the adult human equivalent of a children's Tylenol to ease the pain. They introduced a secondary infection from the reinsertion of a dirty IV needle causing him to get even worse. They were focusing on him having a belly ache, which never was a concern voiced by us, rather than his choking and neck pain. They spoke to us like they knew our pet better than we did. Now I'm stuck with 2 bills for Hall vet for doing nothing but making my cat miserable and more ill.

Look elsewhere. There are better options out there.
