I worked for Laurel Oaks Animal Hospital for over one year and during that time I witnessed many things that were disturbing, unethical and very unprofessional. The Dr or the manager, Pat, would get mad at an employee and treat them like dirt. They would make up lies about them and treat them like dirt. Pat the manager was the worst, if she decided that somebody needed to be fired then she would start trash talking about that employee behind their back. She would be really nice to them while talking to them but she would then spread roumors about them to the other employees. While I was there they fired 3 people for stealing drugs, Then Pat and the Dr. talked about them to the other employees trying to get them to belive all the horrible things she was saying about them were true. It turns out that the girl that was one of Pat's "pet" employees was arrested and had the stolen drugs at her house. At that point we all thought that maybe Pat and her "pet" employee were the ones that were taking them and she was trying to cover her butt by blaming and firing all those people. She never called the cops, searched the employees or even talked to the employees that were accused. Just fired them and then tried to ruin their reputaions by telling anyone that would listen that those people were addicts or dealers. Then they hired a new supervisor, what did they do to the other supervisor? They blocked her out from meetings, treated her like she had leprosy, trash talked her and kicked her out of their office. Did they have the decency to fire her or let her keep her dignity? No, they finally let her go after their scare tactics and bullying didn't work. It felt like we were all in a really bad high school drama. Iv'e know the Dr. for several years and she use to be a good person but since opening her own clinic she has listend to that ugly little troll and trust her 100%. I know Pat would throw her own mother under a bus to save herself. she was in the perfect position to take advantage since she had the Dr. wrapped around her little finger. The Dr would belive ANYTHING that Pat said. Pat's paranoia really rubbed off on the Dr. so that she dosen't trust anyone but Pat. And that is just too sad because we could all see that she was being used and manipulated by her manger. Pat is a bad person with the morals of a hyena and the only one that can't see that she's been lied to and used is the person that is being used. I hope that she wakes up one day and understands how many people were hurt and that she has placed her trust in a woman that would leave her bed ridden husband lying on the floor un able to walk for over 2 hours while she played on her computer at work. That is heartless and cold, they have a special place in hell for people like that. Just in case you are reading this Dr. J. Once you wake up and realize that your Pat is only using you for everything she can get and that she is isolating you from the rest of the world. I'm sure that all those people that were wronged by your clinic would love to have an apology. And Pat, You are scum and when it's your judgement day I hope that you burn for eternity.
