  I took my blind diabetic dog into High Country Veterinary during May 2017. Dr. Debrah Germeroth performed tumor removal surgery and during a follow up appt Dr. Germeroth pulled dirty scissors out of her pocket and stuck it into the wound to spread it apart. I seen red flags and should have paid attention to them such as office is located in a very dirty pit area and they keep their windows open to allow the dirt to come into office. My dog had an infection that started the day after surgery. No antibiotics were given on day of surgery and her insulin level was too low for proper healing.
  
  The lymph node was also swollen and not removed by Dr. Germeroth because she said it was fat. My dog had a continuous bad infections with almost daily trips to the vet for dead tissue removed for almost a month until I took my dog to a different vet. The last was straw was when Dr Germeroth didn't care about the staples not holding the tissue together so dirt and hair would get into wound. The new vet adjusted the insulin level and fixed Dr Germeroths open mess that she made and my dog healed perfectly. The surgery end up costing double the price because of the infections and seeing a different vet.
  
  My dog still had a lump in the same area after the surgery and Dr. Germeroth said it would go away. Well the lump turn into another large cancer tumor and lymph node was still swollen with cancer. I had the tumors removed in Oct 2017 and my dog healed perfectly with zero problems. It's clear that Dr Germeroth might save you money in the short run but in the long run I paid a total 2,400. Dollars for 800 dollars surgery. My dog is very tough and survived Dr. Germeroth dirty work. We all suffered greatly and I have written evidence from new vet to defend us.
