To Whom it May *************************************** was seen in our clinic with her pet ****** on 2/27/24 and was diagnosed with
suspected cancer within the thorax. The client left with a remaining balance on her account, as the
plan was to keep ****** comfortable for a few days and then return to the SPCA Florida Medical
Center for humane euthanasia.
The client called back on 2/28 regarding concerns about charges for services rendered at the time
of the appointment. I called the client back and was unable to reach her until she called back
again. At the time of that discussion, she asked several questions about the patient's prognosis
and additional medications to help keep the patient comfortable for a few more days. That call
ultimately ended up with the client disconnecting the call. On 2/29, I called the client to follow
up on our previous conversation, client had additional questions regarding palliative care. When I
offered to put her on hold to gather more information from a veterinarian, the client disconnected
the call.
3/1/24 the client repeatedly emailed asking for a refund, I called client to get card information
for a refund, the call was unsuccessful, and the client disconnected the call. The client then
requested the executive director, whom called to review concerns and get information for a refund
and was able to gather a credit card number for us to process. Once we received the card number on
3/1/24, we refunded the client and emailed her a copy of the receipt of the refund.
On 3/16/24 the client emailed requesting additional services from SPCA Florida *************** we
have responded to the client and let her know as of 3/6/24, we will no longer be providing services
for any more of her patients. (Please see attached)
Additionally, I have attached a copy of the refund receipt issued on 3/1/24, along with a copy of
her account register showing the refund.
Thank you,***********************
