Horrible vet! She left my horse grunting in pain after she knew the only option was surgery but she didn't say anything to me about it. She just left without saying a word to me, but in her notes she wrote that my horse was comfortable. Comfortable horses do not grunt and struggle to breathe because they are in so much pain. I was forced to call her to come back within 15 minutes because the morphine wore off and he was even worse than before. I had to wait another hour for her to show up again to put him down. She should have waited the 15 minutes to see how he was when the medication wore off or just put him down right then rather than just leaving. Then i don't receive a bill for well over a month, but i get a text message they want money. I told them to actually send me a bill. No wonder they didnt want me to see the detailed charges because she actually bills me double vet charges on several items. I sent a check for the appropriate amount and they just took the money for the duplicate charges out of my account anyway. She as been known in the area for making stupid mistakes and missing critical issues. She even caused permanent damage to an assistants shoulder for putting her in a dangerous position but told her it would be fine. She is a horrible person and a terrible vet, do not use her! read more

Words simply cannot express my gratitude for Dr. Dana. She is a brilliant, compassionate and dedicated veterinarian. She stays current on the latest info and treatments. She is honest and trustworthy. I know, without a doubt, she will be there for an emergency regardless of the day or hour. I also know that this sometimes means she has to postphone appointments while she tends to the the inevitable emergencies of others. Most recently, our elderly rescue pup broke her leg in 2 places. Our dog vet & ortho surgeon said a $6000 surgery was her best bet, but couldn't say for certain it would be successful. The 2nd option was to amputate her leg. The final option to splint it, was deemed hopeless given her advanced age. Dr. Dana wouldn't hear of it. She recommended Regenerative Laser Therapy and splinting. Well against all odds, our pup, Stella is walking on all 4 legs!!!! In addition to this miracle, Dr. Dana has been an amazing vet for our mini horses, senior horses and was even there to lay our dear kitty to rest, at our home. I need a vet that I can count on to give me all the options, be honest about the possible outcomes and trust to do the best job possible without nickel-and-diming me. Dr. Dana fits the bill perfectly! read more

I'm an aspiring veterinary student, and let me tell you in no uncertain terms that this is the person who inspires me DAILY to keep at it. She's so full of excitement for what she does and love for her patients that it's hard not to aspire to be just like her! She's always got time to see "one more" horse in need and doesn't stop fixating until she knows the horse is going to be ok. Every patient I've been to with her and has heard I'm an aspiring veterinarian has told me that I've the right choice shadowing Dr Dana. I believe it's very telling that her client and patients love her as much as Dr Dana's do. That fact that you're reading these reviews means you've already made the right choice and you'll be so happy having your horses in her capable hands read more

Dr Dana is thorough and listens well, she is really experienced and knowledgable and works to help you understand your horse. She had a great bedside manner, so I was comfortable with her immediately and could be frank with her- she doesn't play the guilt games to get you to spend more on vet services, but really does a good job of checking your horse head to toe and answering questions. I liked that she took her time to get to know my horse and his medical history, then found out what we do as a horse/rider team and went on to assess and examine him. I could not be happier with PETS and Dr Dana, she came reccomended by a friend at my barn and I am so glad I found her! :) read more

There are two major qualifications I hold as musts for my horses' vet: compassion for the horses, and a mind based in science. Dr Dana of PETS has both of these. Her every hour seems to be on call. She is there when she is most needed and has a solid arsenal of knowledge and experience to address whatever my two mares throw at her. Her truck is like a magician's hat that somehow holds whatever she needs. And she calls to check up on them; not once, twice or even three times. She checks up until the issue is resolved, always ready with her next angle of treatment. I love that she travels the globe to work on horses and give to the equine that are truly beasts of burden. It shows that she really cares about the animals. And she has plenty of stories to share whilst she works, this helps in moments when I am concerned for my horse. It gives me a chance to breath. I will forever be grateful with her helping with my little dog and giving him the most beautiful and peaceful passing. I could feel that she was not just there to do a job, but to honor the creature that had given so much to me. If you are lucky enough to live in her zone, do you horses a solid and enlist Dana. The most passionate equine vet I had the pleasure to hire. (I hear she treats bovine, as well. I would guess she is the same vet for them.) read more

Dr. Dana is absolutely AMAZING! She is one of the hardest working, caring vets I know. She has a ton of experience and a wealth of knowledge to provide the best care whenever you need it. read more

Dr. Dana is the absolute best! She is the only one I trust with my horse and she even sees to our dogs for most of their veterinary needs. Her experience and expertise are beyond value. The best interest of the animal is ALWAYS her top priority. read more

There is no one I trust more than Dr Dana- she is an amazingly skilled and brilliant veterinarian who is SO good with animals. My horse adores her. She's kind and patient and really explains what is going on. Some vets only offer a prescription or expensive treatment- Dr Dana isn't afraid to tell you what YOU can do to improve your horse's health. My gelding has equine Cushings and she has done an amazing job of helping me manage his illness in a sensible healthy manner. I just can't say enough about her. She's reasonably priced for her services, she does a beautiful job on tooth floating, injuries, illnesses and whatever else comes up. Her office staff is great for scheduling, really nice folks all around. I believe Dr Dana is the most well-rounded veterinarian for equines in our area because she combines good old horse sense with a thorough knowledge of modern procedures and the result is happy, healthy horses. read more
