BEWARE!!! I took my dog to Dr. DeJong's office for an initial examination after adopting our new dog. Dr. DeJong made quite an impression as being very caring and concerned about our dog's well-being. He prescribed a very expensive heartworm/flea prevention medication that I, of course, purchased from his office. After researching the medication on several reputable online stores, I found the same medicine with about 30% savings. I ordered the medicine through the online store and Dr. DeJong refused to authorize the prescription. When I asked him to write the prescription, he refused that as well! HE ONLY WANTS ME TO PURCHASE THE MEDICINE FROM HIS OFFICE!!! As a doctor myself, this is simply unethical. I don't carry medications in my own office nor do I tell my patients where they can and can not fill their prescriptions. It is a conflict of interest! STAY AWAY!!!

When my dog ran away and was hit by a car, a stranger rescued her and took her to Vet Stop, where Dr. De Jong cared for her even though he didn't know if he would ever be paid. When I located her, Dr De Jong continued to care for her and helped me nurse her back to perfect health, though at first she couldn't even walk. Now I take my cat to him. I like him very much.

Appalled 01/04/2010 ...canNOT recommend... My dogs were attacked by a pit bull and another dog on 12/30/09 near the Stephens Forest Park Golf Course. 2 precious Havanese were badly hurt and traumatized along with myself. I called VetStop from the golf course, and the tech said to bring them in. When I arrived around 4pm - Dr. DeJong said he could not treat the dogs, because he closes at 5pm. He said I would have to drive to Iriving for treatment. I was pretty distraught and not that "clear thinking" at the time - so I begged him to see them to see if OK... he took them in for a moment, and then advised I needed to call friends and others for help, as he could not treat due to office hours. Fortunately - a friend, who uses METROPAWS at Skillman & Live Oak called THEM ~ and they were happy to see my precious puppies. The "tech" who answered the call at VetStop offered to drive me... I'm EXCEEDINGLY grateful to Kimmy. I will transfer my files to METROPAWS. It seems Dr. DeJong does not have a "heart" for animals...OR he just wants to do office visits, dispense medication, and administer shots... No Stars!
