Amazing Doctor and Staff

by Bobbie 123 at Citysearch

A couple of years ago one of our dogs quit breathing. I didn't know if he was choking or what had happened. I drove him to Draper Animal Hospital, ran in explained what was happening. The woman at the front desk grabbed him, and rushed him to the doctor. They saved his life. We have taken our other dogs to Dr. Moore, and once again he saved our dog. They have gone out of their way to make not only our dogs comfortable, but our family also.

When we have had an emergency after hours, Dr. Moore has answered my questions, and even met us at the clinic on an early morning Sunday.

Dr. Moore and his staff are amazing, confident, professional people. All tests and surgery can be expensive. Dr. Moore's charges are actually better than several other hospitals locally.

I highly recommend Draper Animal Hospital.

Response to BBP24

My name is Chris Moore, and I am the Veterinarian at Draper Animal Hospital. I am very sorry that your Golden passed away, my deepest sympathy.

I would like to apologize for our miscommunication over the tests and the medicine. I had just returned from an advanced course on canine cardiology and wanted to share with you some information on a new heart medicine that can help a weak heart pump better. I agree they are expensive. I never intended to make you feel like a bad mom and I hope you'll accept my apology.

Excellent Vet Hospital

by Debbe at Citysearch

Doctor Moore and his staff are wonderful people. He has been my Vet for many years and has been knowledgeable, kind and helpful. I lost my two best friends this year and Doctor Moore worked tirelessly to save both of my dogs from the effects of their disease. He was truly compassionate and caring in his treatment of Beau and Shadow.

Expensive and poor bedside manner

by BBP24 at Citysearch

I just moved to Utah a few months before my visit to Draper Animal Hospital with my 14 year old Golden, who had cancer (with huge tumors) and cardiomyopathy/heart failure. She had been chronically ill for a long time and was being managed very well by our old vet prior to moving. I went to Draper Animal for a refill on her prescriptions and to get some pain meds for her because it was getting obvious she was getting uncomfortable and heading down that path quickly, so my main goal was to keep her comfortable.

The vet pushed changing very expensive tests and wanted to change her meds, which I declined since she had been managed very well over the last couple years on the meds she was already on and I feared changing anything would cost her dearly. I explained that my goal was to keep her comfortable and there was nothing different we could do with the results of any expensive tests, but I left feeling like a horrible mom because I didn't want to put her through those tests to "help" her any way I could. She was 14!!

I took her to a different vet who gave me pain meds which came in very handy to keep her comfortable as she died a couple months later. I felt this place was much more expensive than our previous vet and was pushing for expensive treatments that were unnecessary and made me feel horrible for not wanting to do them. I will definitely not be taking my other dog there.

BEST VET EXPERIANCE OF ALL TIME!!!!

by jodiwinegar at Citysearch

i was referred to Doc Moore by a long time friend, and i have to say he & his staff were fantastic.

walking into a vet's office with any apprehensive animal is as much fun as a DDS visit for humans, however, Dr Moore has a clean & tidy place, welcoming and freindly staff, smells clean & not of animal & cleaner, fabulous! first time my 12 y/o beagle wasnt terrified immediately. fast, freindly serivce, professional, and caring!! great & timely follow up! it was a fabulous experience!!

thanks Doc Moore!
