My 5 yr old mini dachshund had surgery here. They took the best care of our baby! I love the doctors and staff at DCES. While I hope to never need their services again, I’m so very glad they are available. Thank you! 

Business response:

Sara, thank you for your kind words! We’re glad our team could take such good care of your dachshund and support your family through surgery. We hope you never need us again either, but we appreciate your trust and are grateful to be here when it matters most.

I have a senior cat with complex liver-gallbladder-pancreas-intestine problems. I sought care at the clinic upon recommendation from my primary veterinarian. I brought my boy Lou in and he received the royal treatment - exam, labs, ultrasound - Dr. Guma took the time to explain the results and develop a plan of care as we navigate long-term management of his issues. I called the office the next week with a question about his appetite and heard back the next day with Dr. Guma’s recommendations. I feel fortunate that my swe... read more

Business response:

Kathy, thank you for sharing Lou’s story and for trusting us with his care. We know how challenging it can be to navigate complex, long-term conditions, especially with a senior cat that you love so deeply. We’re glad Dr. Guma was able to take the time to walk through Lou’s results and help create a thoughtful care plan. We also appreciate you noting the continuity and clear communication. Please give Lou a gentle scratch from all of us, and know that we’re here to support you both.

When I went to reception and explained my cat's problem, the receptionist called a nurse, who came out quickly. They took my cat to the emergency room and gave him initial treatment. After a while, the doctor came to me and explained everything they were doing and what still needed to be done, including an X-ray. She was very professional. They also informed me about the cost.

Their customer service actually exceeded my expectations. My pet was seen immediately, the doctor was very thorough and explained our options. They also kept excellent records and forwarded them to my pet's primary veterinarian. Outstanding! 

Business response:

Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re pleased to know your pet was seen promptly and that our doctor’s thorough explanations were helpful. Maintaining clear records and sharing them with your primary veterinarian is an important part of the care we provide, and we’re glad this added to your experience.

I’ve been to D&C three times for emergencies (two of them in the same day). I can’t recommend these guys enough! The staff is caring and knowledgeable. They really do ensure that education is happening throughout the visit. The facility is clean and well maintained. If they offered regular vet services they would be my pets primary care team hands down. 

Business response:

Arya, thank you for your kind words and for trusting us during your pets’ emergencies. We’re so glad to hear that you felt supported by our caring team and that the focus on education helped you feel informed throughout each visit. Keeping our facility clean and welcoming is also a priority, and it means a lot that you noticed.
