I have been taking my animals to Dr. Mary for 23 years. She has seen my beloved pets come and go over those years. The entire staff at Pine Village Vets is great! I love the individualized care that my pets receive and fully trust Dr. Mary and her staff. read more

Love Dr mary and the girls! Best veterinary clinic around! Been going to Mary for almost a decade now. Can't beat her prices either very reasonable esp compared to everywhere else! They treat you and your pet(s) like family! She takes the time to care for your pet and actually listens to your concerns. You won't find any other vet like her and for good reason because she is the best! The whole office is very knowledgeable and helpful with everything. Highly recommend! If you want to feel comfortable and ease taking your precious pet somewhere this is the place to go! read more

Compassionate, thorough and experienced. Took good care of my three cats after I adopted them until their old age. She even helped me when a friends cat was so sick and needed to be put down. I would still be a patient here if I were in Pittsburgh. read more

We've been going here for 10 years. We moved out of the area and tried other vets but ended up just coming back and accepting that is a drive. Dr Mary is the most genuinely caring vet and she makes it worth it. read more

I came across pine village when a man I was dating took his dog there and I tagged along. I loved the way Dr. Mary treated his dog and took the time to explain and listen. I decided to make a switch and take my oliver to pine village and I am thankful I did. Dr. Mary and getting staff are loving and always smiling. Oliver needed yo have 8 teeth removed and he recovered so well. Anytime I have a question or concern I know I can call and someone will ease my mind and let me know the best coarse of action. I am an overly protective mama and Oliver is a very spoiled beagle and we wouldn't go anywhere else than Dr. Mary and staff. I live in verona and drive to wexford so that tells you how wonderful this doctor and staff is. I literally drive past like 3 vet offices on my way to pine village. If you love your pet; pine village is where it's at!! read more

I have been taking my dogs to see Mary for 2 years now and she is the best. She listens and takes her time with your pet and you. :0) The staff is so kind and understanding. Small town feel. read more

I usually go to Animal General but tried here because they could see my guinea pig sooner. They kept flipping her on her back unnecessarily to examine her which stressed her out (Animal General does the same examination while keeping the animal in a normal position to keep them calm and relaxed) vet even asked the tech to keep holding her belly up while she walked away to go wash her hands and get tools. Why keep the animal in a stressful position longer than necessary? They didn't even tell me what the medication was or how to administer it until I specifically asked at the end. They also kept making passive-aggressive comments about her nails being on the longer end and making me feel like a terrible pet owner. I do trim them, but anyone with guinea pigs knows that's not an easy task, especially to do by yourself. Definitely never coming back. read more

We left the practice after 10+ years. When we first came to the this vet, it was awesome. Great staff, great care. Things have drastically changed over the years. Mary is a great vet, but you have to get past the gatekeepers. The straw that broke the camles back, no returned phone call regarding my sick dog they just treated. I felt guilty switching vets until I received a harsh letter & my dog's medical records from the vet about a week AFTER we already transferred out of the practice. Hopefully others have better results. Nancy Grech read more

I try to go the natural route with my animals, but "holistic" veterinarians are obscenely expensive. Thus, I go to Pine Village. They respect my decision to feed synthetic free and raw dog food. They respect my decision to skip the optional annual vaccinations (I'm not anti-vaccines, but titers show anti-bodies for years after the vaccine was administered, meaning they don't really need an annual vaccine, and I'd prefer to avoid over-vaccination.) Dr. Mary is great with my dogs, happily getting down onto her hands and knees to say hi and love on my little guys. One of my dogs comes from an abuse situation and is extremely fearful of new people, and while he doesn't love Dr. Mary, he does a lot better with her than most new people he meets. The other review is right in that Dr. Mary doesn't have all the newest gadgetry. I'm okay with that. It keeps her costs down, and most of my visits are routine. My one dog did need a cracked molar removed, and I had Dr. Mary do it. Schooner weathered the surgery without complications, and after surgery I got a call from Dr. Mary personally on the status of the removal, and Schooner's condition. I genuinely expected a vet tech to call me, so I was pleasantly surprised. My only real complaint is with one of the receptionists. I don't know which one, or if they're even still there, but I nearly gave up and found a new vet because configuring setting up an account with them was such a mess. I could go into details, but I suspect it would be both boring and confusing. At the time, though, I was furious and about ready to give up. I'm glad I stuck around, though, because Dr. Mary is understanding, professional, and reasonably priced. I'd be hard-pressed to find better. read more

This is a one vet operation. The place and its staff are kind of quirky. Since service is limited and one vet does all of the work, if you are looking for a full time reliable vet clinic, this may not be for you. In addition, they don't have state of the art x rays and other equipment needed so you may be paying another vet to redo what they couldn't do I'm sure vets who operate alone on business ess couldn't get along with others or just like control If you just need a vaccine this would be ok, but burtons has rabies clinics that are cheaper and don't charge office visits. The veterinarians children are often at work ...............I guess she is a single mom read more

Disappointed in this vets professionalism. She could not be trusted and that's the most basic aspect that one must feel comfortable at to bring their beloved pets too She cannot be trusted do beware read more

# User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars by SusanH 07/29/2010 Dr. Mary and her staff are THE best! We have tried many other vets over the years and no one comes close to the quality of care and the level of satisfaction you will receive after taking your animal to Dr Mary's office. The entire staff is professional and friendly making you feel at home, but it is Dr Mary who cares more about the animals than the money ( a rare trait in Vets these days) that truly will steal your heart and make you glad you have her around. read more

Dr. Mary has always been great with our Daisy. Her staff has always been pleasant and kind with us, and they've shown an awesome bedside manner with our dog. read more

By far the best vet in Pittsburgh. We have never had to wait, we just walk in and they are ready for our dog. They are super nice people and the most reasonably priced vet around. read more

If you are looking for a wonderful, caring veterinarian that doesn't feel the need to take every penny you own this is the vet for you!!!! Dr. Schwacha is fantastic, it's obvious she loves all animals and if there is a problem with your pet she works hard to resolve it. She has all of the equipment needed, my dog had an x-ray at her office to diagnose a cancer in his toe. She performed a toe amputation at an affordable price and went above and beyond what I expected for after care. I have recommended Pine Village Veterinarian to many friends in this area and everyone just LOVES Dr. Schwacha. If you want a small, friendly environment and a Doctor that takes the time with you and your pet this is the place to go!!! read more

Pine Village Veterinary is wonderful. They have taken care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats for the last three years. The entire staff truly love animals. They play with them, get right "down with them" and pet them every time we have an appointment. Dr. Schwacha takes her time with each appointment answering every question fully. When we recently had to say goodbye to our 18 year old Beagle/Hound, Dr. Schwacha made sure we had all the time we needed to say goodbye, and helped us through the very difficult process with incredible kindness and compassion. She and her team were really amazing. I can't say enough good things about Pine Village Veterinary. read more

I took my pet here for a simple rabies vaccine and he caught a urinary track infection. They don't have stainless tables here so they don't sanitize between patients. they have this rubbery open weave waffle style mat down ( something you would see as a cheap carpet skid ) instead so the animals don't slip around. My pet caught an infection from a prior animal that had been on the table. They claim they change the mat daily but my pet went in at 4pm and who knows what happen in between, and what infections were on that table. I should have ran at first sight, wasn't thinking. When I question the office about this practice and how they sanitize this mat ( that doesn't appear to be change in years and looks permanent to me ) when calling back to make another appoint to take care my sick cat. They in turned called me back said there was nothing else they could do for me. 160$ later they not only made my cat sick then through me to the curb scrambling to find another vet. If you value your pets health venture somewhere else!! read more

I have owned lots pets in my lifetime, as a result, have had many an appointment with many Vets. Dr Schwacha is the most caring and knowledgeable Vet I have had the pleasure of meeting. You can see that she has a special interest in each animal. I have heard that she often takes animals with special needs home with her overnight to observe. Now that`s dedication! I hope that me and my family of animals never have to make do without her.. Charlotte Shannon read more

We had been loyal to Dr. Mary for about 5 years. All of our pets were taken care of by the practice. Multiple times per year for shots and other needs. Then my cat fell sick and because I told them I don't have money until Friday, they won't see my sick cat. They showed me they only care about my money, and have no love for the welfare of my pets. I guess when my other cat was put to sleep at the practice, they only showed concern because my card's funds cleared. Learn from my lesson, find a practice that cares about pets first. They showed me this one isn't it. read more

I have been taking my dog to Pine Village for the past 3 years. Their place is beautiful and everyone there remembers my dog and myself. There are no long waits and my dog gets thorough and thoughtful care by Dr. Mary. She has had regular visits and vaccinations, had her teeth cleaned and just recently went because she was sick and bounced back within a day of being diagnosed and prescribed the correct medicine. To some saying that this is a one vet operation, I see no problem with that. I want my dogs vet to know her and be with her throughout her life and that is what I am getting with Dr. Mary. This vet also is one of the few places where I have been with my dog where I do not feel like I am being over charged and over prescribed things my dog doesn't need. My dog receives great attention at a very good price and everyone that works here cares about my dog and takes care of her to the fullest. Keep on doing what you are doing Dr. Mary and staff! read more
