Dr. Garlinghouse misdiagnosed the eye condition of our family dog, and when the medication she prescribed wasn't working we took our dog back in. Dr. G was not in so we met with Dr. Lannini. She immediately diagnosed our dog with a simple eye abrasion that needed antibiotics.By this time it was clear that Dr. G's prescribed med had caused MORE damage. Dr. L did not understand how Dr. G missed the abrasion, we confronted Dr. G and she admitted to her negligence and said that we could "hit her". Hitting her doesn't fix my dogs eye, sorry. Needless to say the damage caused by the misdiagnosis of Dr. G caused our dog to go BLIND in that eye, her retina detached and she was in severe pain. Her eye went cloudy and soon became red and inflamed. We took her to an emergency vet who said it would be best to REMOVE her eye, replace it with a MARBLE and SEAL IT SHUT. Dr. G's malpractice is inexcusable. Though she screwed up we still had to pay for all the return visits and the surgery at the emergency vet to remove her eye. Dr. Garlinghouse has single-handedly caused our beloved dog to become permanently disfigured. We will not ever take any of our animals to her again, we will possibly only see Dr. L. I would NOT recommend anyone to take their animal to see Dr. G though her horse knowledge is extensive I would not trust her with your dog or cat, those animals seem dispensable to her.
