I would rate this vet an 11 out of 10! My new Shih Tzu puppy, Candy, loves Dr. Daelhem, and so do I. He has a wealth of experience and is a true "dog whisperer", having treated my previous Shih Tzu, Cookie, for many years after she had to have an eyeball removed by him, after she experienced a bad puncture wound. he also successfully treated my 17 year old cat, Babee, after he had a stroke. The support staff and groomers are all very friendly and professional, as well. I highly recommend Orange Villa Veterinary Hospital.
I LOVE this place. The Vets, Assistants and the front desk staff are all super nice and inviting. You can tell they really care about your furry baby. I also love that I can take my dog in for a check up and the drop him off with their groomer on the premises to get a cut and a bath. The prices are very reasonable as well.
I took my 16 year old miniature pinscher, Canela, for a senior checkup. This was our first time at Orange Villa. Dr Dahlem was her doctor. I was very much impressed with the clinic/hospital the minute I walked in. The staff is friendly and accommodating, they gave me the impression that they care and are good listeners. The clinic while not new is certainly well organized, equipped and above all clean. Canela had a senior canine exam, had biopsy of what looked like a skin tumor, Dr Dahlem analyzed the scrapings in house and prescribed antibiotics, which have been helping her. She also had blood work done and two days later, Dr Dahlem calls me with the results and his interpretation. With the visit/exam, I was given very detailed color patient chart describing the results of Canela's physical and vitals. Three pages describing more about Canela than I ever knew. I learned a lot about Canela just reading her chart. Attached to that was a medication data sheet page describing all I need to know about her prescribed medication. Following that, more general color pages titled "Wellness in Geriatric Dogs" with diagrams. My account of this visit, described above, has just plain and simple facts. The real reason I recommend Orange Villa follows: What impressed me more is how well Canela was treated by the veterinary assistant doing initial intake and measuring vitals. It was quite lengthy and detailed. It was very caring and respectful of Canela. Very much appreciated. Then I met Dr Dahlem, who seems to know his line of work very well as he has been doing do for many decades. He spent an extraordinary amount of time with us, probing, asking questions and answering mine. I am lucky my human doctor spend five minutes with me ! Dr Dahlem diagnosed Canela accurately based on results of the medications he prescribed and Canela now doing so well. And as I said earlier, he followed up with a call telling me the results of the blood work, explaining each component's significance. Yes I am impressed with Dr Dahlem and the operation overall. I trust Dr Dahlem and am grateful that his staff is so supportive. Based on this, I cancelled Canela's upcoming two week boarding where she has been going to for quite a while and will board her at Orange Villa. My wife and I know Canela will be well cared for at Orange Villa. I highly recommend taking your pet to Orange Villa, they care and certainly do things well over there.
Everyone was really helpful from the receptionist at the desk, to Dr. Dahnem talking to me for over a half hour about my dog's condition. I know some people would not like to be at a vet's place for that long but when my dog got really sick and I had no clue as to what I should do it helps to have someone give you all the info. He even took the time to print out more info for me to take home!! My westie is improving and I have spoken to the doctor and a receptionist twice now since it happened a week ago ( just to check up and answer any questions). Overall this place may not be super new and shiny but so far the care has been unmatched.
We have been taking our pets here for over 15 years for health and grooming and have had a great experience in every area. The doctors are caring and understanding, they communicate exceptionally well on your pets needs and condition. The groomers do a very good job and our dog is always excited to see them when we go in for our Lhaso Apsos monthly grooming. The office staff is extremely helpful and friendly, which helps us to also keep coming back. Thanks to all for a great job. Fran Glidewell
