Jack loves Dilworth Animal Hospital (as much as a dog can love the vet)! Amanda is his favorite tech because she loves on him so much. Dr. Wheelock understands how crazy I am about my dog and never makes me feel silly. They always call after a visit to see how he is doing. I know that I can count on them - day or night, even if they're closed.
Best vet I've EVER had. My rescues actually enjoy their vet trips for the first time in their lives, thanks to this office. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. I am a healthcare provider, and can attest to the highest level of knowledge of this team! The personalized service, the follow up, and the collaborative atmosphere are second to none.
Took a 2 year old female lab for a small mass removal on her foot. There were a number of problems with the surgery and the care surrounding it. The first thing we noticed is that after the surgery her foot was not wrapped at all, completely undressed. This is with a just closed incision. They also didn't give us any drugs for her. We said we had some, but we didn't end up having nearly enough and had to go to another vet for more. They offered to leave some drugs outside for us since they were closing before we could get there, but we didn't want drugs that were left outside, or to have drugs left outside at all. The combination of not a long enough course of antibiotics, plus not bandaged, led to it getting infected despite our best efforts at keeping it clean. There were also no sedatives given, which is kind of necessary for a lab just getting done with surgery. Another thing is that her nails were clipped extremely short while she was under anesthesia, without asking us at all or ever mentioning that that would be done. They were cut way past the quick, plus at the wrong angle. Her nails have bothered her ever since and still haven't grown back to a normal length. There was no follow up scheduled to take out the stitches or even view her progress. It's been over two weeks and we haven't heard from them. After only a week, her stitches all came undone without her messing with them at all or pulling them due to activity, because they weren't tied properly. Her foot is now having to heal from the bottom up and will probably always have more of a problem than she would have had. We've been taken her elsewhere for care and won't be going back.
Dilworth Animal Hospital is the BEST. A year ago, Dr. Berman performed Frank's ACL surgery and was fantastic through the whole process - generous with his time and his attention from the initial consultation. We came in for several follow-up appointments, and he answered our millions of questions with grace and patience. Most of all, we felt like he really cared for our dog. When Frank yelped one evening when we got home from work, we were afraid he had re-torn the ACL before it had properly healed. Dr. Berman fit us in at the end of a busy day just to recheck it and said it was fine, but that he was glad we came in. A year later our old man Frank is as good as new. THANK YOU to Dr. Berman and the whole staff at Dilworth - Nicole at the front desk, Kandace the vet tech (and Frank's favorite), Dr. Whitlark who has taken great care of our cat Minnie (and answered a million questions about every possible outcome). Thanks for helping us take care of our babies (and keeping us from losing our minds throughout it all)!
I have been using Dilworth Animal Hospital for more than 3 years now after my previous vet moved away. On our first visit, my Aussie/Border Collie/Shepard puppy mill survivor went in the door & greeted everyone like lost friends....normally at the vet she would not want to go in, pee as soon as she was in the door & be terrified). Not once in her life was she wrong in her judgment of people & due to her extreme comfort level that very first visit I knew I had found my new vet. I do a lot of animal rescue work & the "family" at Dilworth have ALWAYS been extremely compassionate, gentle, loving, and have made time for me regardless of the time (even 1130 on a Saturday night!). The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate & it is very evident that they all love the animals. On many occasions I have gone to them with very ill or injured animals (including a snapping turtle that got hit by 3 cars) & they have taken wonderful care of every one of them. On occasions when euthanasia is the only option (or kindest option for the animal) they have been completely honest with me and have been so gentle & reassuring to both myself & the pet that will be put to sleep, that both of us are comforted knowing the journey to cross the Rainbow Bridge will be painless and quick. Their knowledge & skill level is the best I have encountered at a vet but they are also not afraid to tell you they don't know or would like a second option. I LOVE Dilworth Animal Hospital and recommend them to everyone I come in contact with who has pets or does rescue work. Their prices are also very reasonable. At no time have I ever thought that any procedure that has been done was done for the money......the critters always come first at Dilworth!
