All of my animals have been seeing Dr. Jeff Person for eight+ years. Dr. Person is thorough, knowledgeable, caring and willing to say "I don't know" and consult with colleagues, medical texts, etc. I first came to Delton when my cat Widget started having seizures. Other than the emergency clinic, they were the only ones who would see her that day, and when she had a seizure right after I called them, they told me to bring her in straight away. That very same cat just went for a wellness check the other day, and I trust her and all of my other loved ones to this clinic. Dr. Person is willing to give all options, without pushing unnecessary surgery (e.g. on older cats we have had who were very ill). Sure, he could have done all sorts of additional tests and interventions. But when they were palliative, he is willing to say so, so that their final days aren't in suffering. Dr. Person and others have taken over this practice. I know the community misses Dr. Keeler. He was a great vet, and euthanized a cat of ours when Dr. Person wasn't unavailable. However, Dr. Person is truly a one of a kind vet and we trust him immensely with our cats. The techs and admin people are also incredibly loving and caring. I have been in every day this week visiting a sick cat, Henry. We don't know if he will make it, but we are hoping so. He is relatively young and up until now was very healthy. Dr. Person diagnosed Henry with pancreatitis and if he gets through this critical phase, there is a great deal of hope. The techs and admin people have been very caring during this difficult time, and have been giving Henry lots of love and snuggles in addition to his treatment.
Where to begin. The following review is based on the experience I've had and obviously may be different from other clients. I used to really like the clinic, especially when Dr. Debi Zimmerman was covering there. Needless to say, I've had less than desirable experiences since that time. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe they've had a change in ownership/management since that time. I could offer more than one experience, but I'll just stick to the most recent. My cat had lost sight in one eye and I ended up taking her to an ophthalmologist at another hospital. Fast forward a month later when I wanted to extend her prescription. She was exhibiting signs of laboured breathing and the doctor at Delton who checked didn't do much. His recommendation at that time and considering all she had recently gone through was for me to consider getting her teeth cleaned. Really? Are you kidding me? No thanks. I got the refill, paid for that and the check-up and left. I brought her back a couple weeks later and insisted on seeing a different veterinarian. Thankfully this veterinarian suggested the appropriate x-rays and once the results were known made the difficult decision to euthanize. Anyone who has ever had to go through that understands the difficulty involved with making that decision. The very next day I get a call from Delton. The woman tells me that my other cat and dog are both due for their annual check-ups. Again - are you kidding me? What kind of insensitive idiot would make such call? I couldn't believe it. I told her that considering I just put my cat down yesterday, I think I'll take a little break. I was so bothered by what happened that I had to call the manager/owner to tell him how incredibly inappropriate it was for me to receive the call. It certainly seemed that the $745 I had just spent the day before wasn't enough. Absolutely astounding. Which brings me to another point - way overpriced! Call around - seriously. I just called today to see what it would cost for my dog to get his Bordatella update. A check-up is required (and would be required at every clinic) but they charge more than 60% than other clinics I just called. 8 clinics and they were the most expensive ($123 + tax versus $75 + tax). It's pretty hard for them to say that they are not driven by money with prices like that. I've already made my appointment at another clinic whose doctors have years of experience and, hopefully, whose staff are more considerate. If you do take your loved one to Delton - well, don't forget to bring your wallet - and good luck. I hope you have a better experience there than I've had.
I had to get my cat euthanized today...The lady doctor was wonderful as well as the nurses..The doctor cried a lil' when she put her down and didn't charge me for the exam fee just the euthanization...so you know she loves animals, It's not always about money....They were all very helpful and kind..I highly recommend this place to everyone
Seriously the only Vet in Edmonton that doesnt want to try an get all your money!!! helpful advice on what to do at home before bringing your animal(s), they saved me over 300 dollars in vet visits
Expensive compared to the South East Animal Hospital. Cannot get a hold of them on the phone, takes a day for them to call back.
