The office accommodated a last minute, next day appointment for my very sick dog. Dr. Gillem was very thoughtful and thorough in her assessment of my dog. I appreciate the professionalism, compassion and detailed evaluation. 

Business response:

Lauren, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about your visit and your observations. We know all too well how heartbreaking having a furry family member under-the-weather can be. We are glad to hear Dr. Gillem was able to see your dog as soon as possible and provide a compassionate and detailed assessment.

I’d recommend only as an emergency option. Service is slow. My pet was there for over 6 hours for a minor problem that took long to diagnose, however the attending vet called to check on my pet the day after which was very much appreciated. 

Business response:

Charine, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about your visit and your observations. We are sincerely sorry for your wait time and thank you for your patience as we continue to navigate through the challenges presented by COVID-19.

My poor boy Buzz the miniature schnauzer had a liver tumor the size of a baseball. Thankfully it was successfully removed by the wonderful surgeon there. The staff was amazing and took great care for him while he was hospitalized. Hopefully now he will have a long happy life to spend with his humans and bigger brother Tyson a Pit-bull who was quite concerned about Buzz when he got home. 

Business response:

Lisa, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about your visit and your observations. We are glad to hear Buzz is on the road to recovery and can continue to have an amazing life with your family and, of course, his big brother Tyson. Thanks for the update.

Working with Dr. Guma was great & she is very caring & knowledgeable. But I will admit its VERY expensive & their hours are very difficult for me since their last appointment is at 2:45. I also was a little annoyed it took 30 mins just to have my pet returned to me. I do understand COVID has changed things but taking 30 mins to return a pet is a bit much. But my pet has improved & that is what is most important. Everything was fully explained & communicating with Dr. Guma whether it was phone or email was perfect, always q... read more

Brought my little old guy here twice for emergent care. Dr. Gagliardo and staff are the epitome of professional, friendly and compassionate. Everything was communicated clearly and in advance. The recommended course of action, with all options, was clearly explained and I was kept abreast of my pet’s status. I would never want to have to have my pup treated in another emergent situation, but if I do, I know that he will be in great hands with Dogs and Cats Veterinary Referral & ER. 

Business response:

Louiseza, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about your visit and your observations. We are glad to hear Dr. Gagliardo and our team were professional, friendly, and compassionate. We are truly passionate about what we do, which is why your feedback is so valuable.
