For almost 30 years I have used Dr. Mendelsohn. He has treated and cared for 4 dogs and 2 cats and…read morehas never made the wrong call. I simply hate reading any bad reviews about him and take it as a personal offense. He is a wealth of knowledge, explains everything, and I consider him a friend. His wife has also treated my pets and has been nothing less than kind and wonderful. I also love the vet tech, Jose. Excellent care. Treat them all with kindness regardless of your emotions and you will get quality, intelligent care for your animal.

I initially went to Dr. Mendelsohn and found him warm and knowledgeable. This was a few years ago,…read morewhen he was just starting out, taking over for Dr. RIngler, who was a total Gem of a person, and an unassuming, yet quite knowledgeable, whip smart Vet. His wife, his longtime assistant, is equally lovely, and quite expert herself. Part of why I continued with Dr. M. is the pleasure of seeing HER in the waiting area. So smart, funny, but able to assume a high seriousness when my Dogs were ill, her low key, warm, presence was so helpful when my high energy dog was ill.. SO PLEASE, I want to make clear that the Ringlers were fantastic. However, when Dr. Ringler became ill, and died, his replacement,Dr. M ( above), initially also lovely, soon seemed frustrated, aloof, and even slightly hostile in response to my questions before and after He examined my Dog. I do not believe I am hypersensitive. My husband is a head and neck surgeon, and I am a clinical psychologist. We both know how to take care of patients, even those who may be more challenging for one reason or another. We do so without. being rude, aloof, nor irritated. This is NOT the appropriate behavior for a helping professional, particular in response to a sick, or more generally, a vulnerable animal

My experience with Millwood Animal Hospital was unfortunate and disappointing. The veterinarians…read morefailed to provide adequate treatment and did not do proper or full examination for my dog which resulted in a missed diagnosis. When I brought my dog in, they examined him for 30 seconds, prescribed gabapentin and told me he would be fine. After getting a second opinion I learned my dog had a serious condition that could have been diagnosed earlier had the veterinarians paid better attention. Despite my best efforts, my dog passed away three months later. Before going to this Animal Hospital, please do your research! Millwood Animal needs to have better treatment procedures and standards. Clients should not need to get a second opinion because the first vet was too lazy to do a legitimate exam.

My only regret was not finding them sooner. Terri had developed a hacking cough that I thought was just something caught in his throat. On March 21st, he fell down the steps and tried to go here but they were booked so after taking him to the ER I decided to book a follow up appointment here instead of with his old vet. I've been wanting to move vets after numerous incidents. We went in for our first visit with Dr. Cassidy. Melissa at the front desk greeted us. The place is immaculate & bright - so nice & inviting. They have different rooms for everyone. Met Dr. Cassidy who was like a ray of sunshine. She examined Terri throughly & explained everything to us step by step. The hacking cough was a tracheal collapse which is common in Yorkies. She gave us medication. Unfortunately old age and this condition begun to worsen. We had to lay him to rest 2 weeks later. He wasn't eating & stop taking the medication which made it hard for him to sleep. Dr. Cassidy gave us additional options but we could tell he was ready to go. The care the staff showed us was exceptional! Thank you so much, Dr. Cassidy, Melissa & staff.

Dakota Veterinary Center's Instagram bio states they are "treating pets the way we would like to be…read moretreated," but my experience was the opposite. I brought my healthy six-month-old kitten here for a routine visit after being encouraged by a personal friend of mine who was the clinic manager at the time. During the visit, a cystocentesis was performed by this manager, who is not a licensed veterinarian or veterinary technician, under the supervision of licensed staff. Immediately afterward, my kitten's condition changed--vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, and visible distress. Over the following days, I repeatedly expressed concern and was reassured that this was "normal" and blamed on a recent food change, with no urgency or recommendation to bring him back for evaluation. Four days later, I rushed him to an emergency hospital, where he was diagnosed with uroabdomen and suspected bladder rupture and ultimately euthanized due to organ failure. Veterinary science recognizes bladder rupture as a known, life-threatening risk of improperly performed cystocentesis, and this rapid decline does not align with a simple dietary issue. After his death, I contacted the practice multiple times seeking accountability, resolution, and reimbursement, and was ignored. I am sharing this to warn other pet owners that Dakota Veterinary Center's lack of urgency, accountability, and follow-up after an invasive procedure was irresponsible and unethical, and no animal deserves to be treated this way. Their actions raise serious concerns about patient safety and professional standards; I doubt any of their staff would like to be treated the way they treated my late kitten. I've attached Before/After photos of his health and demeanor before and after the procedure at Dakota Veterinary Center. These pictures document the rapid deterioration of his health, with dates and times included.

NOTHING short of the best Vet I have ever met! Dr. Hershman is absolutely amazing. I brought my 7…read moreyr old Chihuahua here for a second opinion regarding a much needed overdue dental procedure. I was drawn to Dr Hershamn because I appreciate a Holisitic approach to all things medical. To start I was so impressed by Alison who runs the office. From my first email I knew this would be a great experience. Alison answered all questions and was super accommodating regarding scheduling. I was blown away by the amount of time and care Dr. Hershman took to explain the pre and post procedure care. I was so nervous about the procedure. Little Red had a major cleaning and had several teeth removed. She did great! Dr. Hershman stayed in contact with us and continued to check on her during the days after, including days she was off. She was super responsive to all our questions. The techs in the office are also very friendly and I felt safe leaving Red with them. I can't imagine ever using a different vet.

I found a 3 day old kitten in the street and ran him there and with her genuine love for animals she guided and cheered me on to make him into the almost 2 year old moose he is today. Everyone there is kind and compassionate, taking time out to say hello and ask how YOU are doing in sad and not always fun visits. My 15 year old chihuahua who hated all living things respected and loved her and when it was her time to pass I would have wanted no one else but Dr. Gina there. Now, my second generation of furbabies have their favorite place. I recommend them to everyone! I trust this place with my cat's lives without blinking an eye.

Do not trust this practice to actually communicate internally. My dog was put on the exam table,…read morethoroughly checked, paperwork completed, and his old records were emailed over at their own office with a reply " call us to set up any appointments". Nobody said one word about needing a separate "new patient" appointment. Then his paw started bleeding. We called for help and were flatly told the other office "couldn't take him" because he'd never been seen as a new patient, despite the fact that he absolutely had been. A dog in pain got turned away over an internal paperwork technicality that took their own staff thirty seconds to explain, if anyone had bothered. Also, my other dog has been a patient for years so they knew me. When we pushed back, the vet stated that she never checked him. Even though she had him on the table?!?! I figured she would say let him come in to see the paw. That's a practice choosing to protect itself over a customer whose dog needed care. Two offices that can't sync a patient file is a system failure. Refusing to own it when it hurts an animal is a choice. We're done, both dogs are gone, and so is any recommendation from us.
