Unscrupulous, money-sucking vet!

I brought my cat here to see Dr. Iraei for scratching below the eyes. He said it was an eye infection and prescribed a topical medication. Two days after finishing the treatment the exact same symptoms returned. I brought him back to the same vet. He still said it was an eye infection and precribed another topical treatment and gave my cat an antibiotic shot.He also said that if this round of treatment didn't work, it would mean a blockage of the tear ducts, and my cat would need an operation. Again, two days after treatment ended, exact same symptoms returned. Before getting the operation on my cat, I sought a second opinion from a vet at a clinic that specializes in cats. She said my cat didn't have infection or blockage, just irritation from dust. All my cat needed was to have the area cleaned daily with inexpensive eye-wipes. This has worked well. When I asked Dr. Iraei if he would refund my money for the two appointments and medications, since he misdiagnosed my cat, he completely refused and even denied that he was wrong!
