Nagel Mark E DVM

We don’t recommend Dr. Nagel. However, we can suggest Coarsegold or Madera center. We took our 1 yr puppy into Dr. Nagel he ingested something that made him sick, he was showing signs of stomach pain and dehydration. The purpose of going in was to see a Dr. to find out how we could help him. We trusted the Dr. would communicate all information with us, but we were not consulted and there was no exchange of written information at our exam, not one form until after he died then I received a treatment plan I didn’t see before then, they withheld this information on how they could help him it was decided for us. I have been taking family members to Dr.‘s of all kinds for over 20 years veterinarians, dentists; medical and we have never been treated so badly or had reason to distrust a Dr. or his facility.
I called them in an emergency because they are close by and I was in distress, I was deceived into coming in believing that would help. Once there the office manager controlled everything and the Dr. went along taking all our power away to help him. They took our dog as a patient and put him through the trip there and administrated a test on him with no intentions on helping or offering help, they degraded him while he was suffering. After he died we went in for his record and finally got the information that could have helped him and a psychological game so we will keep our mouths shut, we have nothing to hide but apparently they do. While he was alive we received absolutely no medical information from them, including his treatment plan which consisted of his life saving information/​hope, it was withheld, and no relief of suffering not even for at home until after he died.
The Office manager took all control over our appointment and any possible treatment taking away all our power to help him from the start, she made all decisions at our exam for the Dr. and us, interesting though we couldn’t find a veterinarians licence number for her in the state of California. We went there to see a Dr. (for His knowledge) we did not get what we paid for, it was a scam. It concerns me that Dr. Nagel would allow this to go on in his organization under His Licence never met a Dr. (and I have met many) that would allow it, he is responsible. The office manager made the excuse of not having his vaccinations record, yet, we came as an emergency and she failed to tell me to bring it because I do have a copy he had current vaccinations for both diseases that she brought up parvo and distemper I can prove it, he had neither.
I have never seen anything like this in a professional organization. Dr. Nagel should make it clear if he is not going to help in an emergency also, having hospital at the end of an organizations name actually misleads the public into thinking they will help in an emergency they should at the very least be honest and tell people when they won’t help, we would have gladly went somewhere else that actually operates normally but instead they played games that lead to our baby dying in pain and us in a lot of pain over it all. They stole our window to help him they had no right to do this to us or him. Apparently, they wanted us to watch him suffer and die and after he passed away the office manager was trying to manipulate me into feeling something was my fault she told me I need to forgive myself, for what? trying to get him help while he was sick? Psychological games are cruel but I do feel some guilt for taking him there, trusting Dr. Nagel, having her involved, and not taking him to a normal, decent professional facility.
I was trying to get him help and the office manager worked against me in getting it every step of the way, she saw my distress and took advantage to play a cruel con game she set me up, knowing he would suffer and die, she tried to make me feel it was our fault so we would keep our mouths shut why should we when we know without a doubt had we gone somewhere else they would have assisted us in at least providing compassionate care. We could have and would have pulled resources (no matter the amount of money) to even just give him relief from suffering but she denied him this. He was an amazing, loving, innocent being and gave so much healing, love, peace, joy, compassion it breaks my heart he was treated this way by this organization, he deserved better. They provided nothing but additional pain for us, we were discriminated against, insulted, degraded, and what he went through hurts the most, they can never reconcile. The whole experience was traumatizing they were inhumane, Cruel, inconsiderate, unethical, and unprofessional all they did is harm us.
They were dishonest and unethical showing they stray from professionalism when they feel they can get away with it and really don’t care about animals or respect their clients, we don’t trust or recommend them to anyone.
Dr. Nagel and his staff Discriminated against our family and threw away a 14 month olds life, they have no integrity.

We have lived in Oakhurst for two years and have used this vet for two years. Today, my wife called and told them our dog was very sick, she though he had been poisoned as he was throwing up and acting real sluggish.
The receptionist said…“sorry, all booked up, would you like to make an appointment for tomorrow?“
A few hours later my wife called again and said I think my dog is dying. They told her «sorry, all booked up. Try the vet hospital in Fresno»
Jimmy died on the way to Fresno.
We need to find a vet who cares about our animals.
I would leave zero stars but one is the minimum.

I took my cat, Juno to Oakhurst Veterinary and was greeted warmly even though we had never been there and only needed a travel certificate. It was all quick and easy. I appreciated their timeliness and friendliness!
