ENCINA VETERINARY CLINIC SC DEFENDANT JULIE WEEKS VS JOHNSON SMALL CLAIMS - >$5K, UP TO $7.5K WSC09-0564 07/16/2009 05/13/2010 ENTIRE ACTION DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE 05/13/2010 LETTER FROM ENCINA VETERINARY RECEIVED REFLECTING PROOF OF PAYMENT OF $4000 TO PLAINTIFF JULIE WEEKS Excerpt from Perri Mink's Change.org petition: "Ms. Weeks was told that her dog had kidney disease and was treated for kidney disease. Weeks was not treated well by the Encina veterinarian and changed to another veterinarian at the practice, Dr. Johnson. He ordered another expensive test, out-of-state, and then she was told that her dog did not have kidney disease but liver disease. Upon her suspicion and disturbance, she requested the medical records when the veterinarian called her and said that they needed to put her dog to sleep. She said, “What would you do?”, and the veterinarian’s response was to put the dog to sleep and so the dog was put to sleep. The medical records revealed that the veterinarians knew all along from the initial consultation that the dog had liver disease but did not treat the dog for liver disease. The court changed judges 3 times. The hearings were postponed for various reasons without awards for Weeks. In a letter dated, January 18, 2010, Encina refers to Weeks as inflexible based on her comments to the court. In chambers on April 21, 2010, Ms. Weeks signed a gag order of any wrongdoing and settled for $4,000."
ENCINA VETERINARY HOSPITAL SC PLAINTIFF ENCINA VETERINARY VS BENJAMIN TARCHER SMALL CLAIMS - >$1.5K, UP TO $5K WSC09-0609 08/05/2009 AMOUNT OF CLAIM: $2,251.58 JUDGEMENT AGAINST BENJAMIN TARCHER 02/02/2010 Excerpt from Perri Mink's Change.org petition: "Ms. Mink observed the hearing noting that Encina did not cooperate when asked if either party would agree to arbitration. Tarcher agreed to arbitration even though he stated that the treatments were unethical. Tarcher explained his financial hardship. The judge would not heed to Mr. Tarcher’s testimony. Encina had continued “life-support” treatments at their hospital at $1,000 per day. Mr. Tarcher, an engineer, relied on medical professional knowledge regarding the medical condition of his dog. Not knowing what to do, his son had to intervene to stop the inhumane treatments."
