Love the professionalism and care of the doctors and staff. They are caring and compassionate. I brought my dog in with a chronic ear infection that I was fighting for over 5 months, and within 2 months they helped to identify a treatment plan that has cleared up his ear. I am extremely thankful for their expertise and attention to his proper care.

My dog suffers from allergies to any insect bites as well as other topical triggers. After numerous visits and much money spent at a highly regarded veterinary clinic, I found my way to veterinary skin and ear, and have never looked back. By the time we got there, my dog had chewed patches of skin off of himself, was losing hair and his tail was raw and infected. Not only did he receive proper treatment that resolved his condition within a short time, but as his doggy mom, I received significant information on how to deal with a dog with allergies. There is no other vet I would see for skin or ear issues! The facility is immaculate, the staff is excellent, and the physicians are top-notch. I joke that I was married to a dermatologist for nearly 25 years and I likely trust Veterinary skin and ear more than my former husband!! 😆. You don’t just leave with medication. You leave with your dog having been treated with an injection to stop the inflammation and itching, soothing and medicated bath products, and all the information you need to help your dog — basically, both you and your dog leave veterinary skin and Ear with a sense of relief. I have learned more from their physicians on skin care, flea, and tick care, Nontoxic methods of protecting my dog than I have learned anywhere else. I cannot speak highly enough about them.!

Amazing place, highly recommend! Dr. Richman saved my dogs life. She used to have a very brown beard for years and is a white Maltese! My regular vet advised that this was normal but I finally decided to see an allergist. Dr. Richman noticed right away that this brown beard was due to my dogs severe allergies and that my poor baby had been suffering for years! After just 4 months of care, her beard is almost white and she is so much happier and her allergies are under control! The staff is amazing too and so quick with updates or anything I need. Here are before after photos of my dog. She’s had a makeover 🙏🏻❤️

Dr. Kaplan is an amazing veterinarian. She was able to figure out the issue and create a clear, thoughtful care plan for my cat. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and took the time to explain everything. Kim, the vet tech, was also great; so kind and attentive. The whole experience was reassuring, and I highly recommend this team!
