Vets in and around Geneva

I believe the post above likely refers to Dr. Omaboe, whose emergency "service" is just his private number (rather than the actual cantonal emergency service, which vets rotate duty on).  I echo that he, and likely some other English-speaking vets, take advantage of expats and charge insane fees.  I would ask that the moderators please leave his name in this thread, as his excessive advertising lures in a lot of unknowing people who deserve fair warning. 

And I speak from personal experience; he told me that my pets were in "terrible pain," which was simply not true, and quoted me prices that I later found out were several times what another vet should/would charge.  I would advise anyone to seek another vet.  Even if language is an issue, there are plenty of other, ethical, English speaking vets out there.

I think we are all talking about the vet in Mies. I too had a resent bad experience with him. I took my dog there and I told him I suspected a bladder infection as he was a little lame and feverish ect. He touched the dog a little at the back and said I should watch him for a week. Going back he only asked qeustions and gave me 3 weeks antibiotic. My dog just got worst and eveturally I took him to another vet in Nyon and it turned out he had tick fever! This they discovered on the first visit with blood tests, and I got the results the same day.

My dog almost died. The price of a visit to Mies was 144 and the new vet 60chf. This is really taking advantage of the expat comunity.

@Roma65 if you know a good vet over the border in France that can issue a dog resident in uk with a pets passport I’d be very interested.
