Avoid veterinarians like Dr. Gallipalli who suggest a variety of treatments and qualify 'diagnoses' with images online. His speculation was a conniving strategy for accruing more money and not considering  my pet's best healthcare.  During one of my visits, health services included on the pet plan I purchased  were dispensed without verifying with me first. I should have been notified beforehand but  Dr. G. and his sales staff disciples only want your money - no matter the condition of your pet.

 
After my pet's progress worsened - physically and behaviorally, I visited two other vets for second opinions.  The two other vets - which do not offer pet healthcare plans - suggested loads of ideas, products, & different food supplements to increase my cat's health and disposition. Dr. G. did not offer any helpful insights or suggestions about other options; he was stubborn and believed in his own scripted ways. Both vets thought Dr. G's excessive treatment was more-so hindersome than helpful for my cat. One vet questioned the ethics of administering  consecutive steroid doses, which is not only considered grueling, but harmful.  Two injections are typically reserved spanning the course of the year.  Dr. G administered one every month.   
 
So what should you learn from my naive mistake in choosing Dr. Gallipalli during an emergency pet situation?   
 
Avoid Baymeadows Animal Hospital and any vets promoting pet plan tactics. These vets are geared to sell products instead of offering the most intelligent & beneficial healthcare service.   If you bring your pet to Baymeadows Animal Hospital,  I can honestly and accurately state that you are not receiving the best healthcare. I'd rather waste the $300  I am currently spending on the  pet plan, than to ever visit Baymeadows Animal Hospital again. His vet expertise might suffice for routine visits, but not for emergency situations. Would you want to receive mediocre treatment?  Then why allow your pet?!  If you choose the services of Baymeadows Animal Hospital after reading this review, I  truly feel sorry for your pet. A caring pet owner would not  recommend this facility. 
 
FYI: Most of the techs I met  (3/4) were not genuinely caring and compassionate toward my animal.  They remained cold and ignorant - maybe the techs work better with dogs.  Even so, sales associates describe their job occupation - not animal specialists.  I've also found a significant distinction between the positive published Google+ reviews (most likely created by spam staff members) than the listings on yelp. I honestly wish that I never brought my cat to Baymeadows Animal Hospital! Hopefully by publishing this review, I can help other animal owners learn from my error.  Please avoid Baymeadows Animal Hospital!!!
