Where East End Veterinary Medical Centre works

Lists Pittsburgh as a location. Names East End and Centre as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

Prices

East End Veterinary Medical Centre does not publish prices, pricing, cost figures, exam fees, rates or estimates anywhere on its website. There is no price list, no fee schedule, no published exam or consultation charge, and no online quote or estimate form. Nothing on the site states what any service costs, so any price for wellness care, vaccinations, dentistry, surgery, laboratory work, imaging, microchipping, euthanasia, cremation or travel certificates has to come from the practice itself.

The one payment fact the site does publish is in its FAQ, verbatim: "DO YOU ACCEPT CARE CREDIT? As of February 2023 we do accept CareCredit." The site publishes no other payment, financing, deposit or billing terms, and does not list which pet insurance plans it accepts or how insurance claims are handled.

To ask about cost, fees, rates, a quote or an estimate for a specific pet and a specific service, the published route is to phone or text the practice at (412) 361-5000, or to visit 5875 Ellsworth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15232 during its posted hours (Monday 9:00am - 5:00pm, Tuesday to Thursday 9:00am - 7:00pm, Friday 9:00am - 5:00pm, Saturday 9:00am - 12:00pm, Sunday closed, and closed Wednesdays 12:30 - 1:30 pm). Surgery is scheduled through the practice's surgery coordinators by email at surgery@eevmc.com, and questions about surgical cost would go the same way.

Because no figures are published, no price range should be quoted or guessed on the practice's behalf.

The site publishes no triage line, no after-hours number of its own, and no poison control phone number.
