Mountain View Animal Clinic: Colletti Richard J DVM

This veterinarian tried preforming a surgery on our Boston terriers’ elbow which and been shattered due to an injury. The day the injury occurred we rushed our Boston terrier to him as he was our veterinarian at the time. He told us that this was a serious injury and needed to be operated on immediately so we trusted him we gave him our dog he performed the surgery. We were able to pick her up within the next few days to make a long story short the surgery was done incorrectly and our dog healed incorrectly for two months leaving her arm permanently twisted. We went to get a second opinion and was told the arm looked as if nothing ever had been done to fix the injury upon the initial break. Upon receiving that information we headed to a specialist up at Tufts University they diagnosed the situation took pictures and x-rays of everything and said they would be using this in their classrooms as to teach their students of what not to do to repair a break like this. So Our Boston went into surgery again and was in a cast for the next two months but she can actually use the arm now and is her happy self! We tried getting our money back from Dr Coletti which was over $5000 and he and his insurance company both denied the claim we ended up spending another $5000 at Tufts University to correct this problem I wouldn’t trust this veterinarian if he was the last one on earth no one should be bringing their animal to this man for any surgery. Even the surgeons at tufts University sad this veterinarian should be ashamed of himself for even attempting a surgery like this. I don’t know how he can sleep at night preforming surgery’s on animals that he isn’t capable of doing. We trusted him and he let us down. DO NOT BRING YOUR ANIMAL TO THIS VET

Great treatment
