There is an emergency animal facility across the street from us for after hours care. Their office visit charge is $95.
And then there is a specialty center (with board certified surgeons) that has an office visit of $150 about 40 minutes from us.
I agree that most places aren't cheap, but do you really want cheap healthcare for your companion? Banfield is able to keep the cost of their office visits down because of our extremely high number of clients we see each day. Where as most vets only see 10-30 clients a day, our average is between 60 and 80. Plus, Banfield is open 7 days a week and there are over 800 hospitals across the country with another opening in December in Puerto Rico.
Look them up if you need a new veterinarian. link

Thanks for all the info/advice, AquarianPhoenix!
Oh, Stormy, and anyone else looking to save some money...ask your vet about a multiple animal discount! I have 5 cats and my brothers and parents all bring their animals there, too and we all get a multi-pet household discount. It's not a huge difference, but every little bit helps. (I also was very honest about my financial situation with the bet and she tries to keep things lower, for instance, she might not charge for a second X-ray. This last time she took $30 off the bill and I didn't notice it till I got home that one of the procedures was credited!)
If anyone lives in the East side suburbs of Cleveland and wants to know the name of the best damn vet we've ever worked with, send me a PM!
