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

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.

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.
