Animal Dermatology & Allergy

This is a tricky one for me. First I will say the office staff is pleasant and professional. The dr., like others in the medical field, while not unkind, wasn't the type for easy conversation. I guess some would say reserved. I have a couple of concerns and that's what makes this review challenging. I was slow in getting the allergy serum once it was ready bc I live so far away. I finally opted to have it shipped. I think due to the holidays my request got overlooked but a simple phone call resolved that. My other concern bothers me a little more. When discussing the arranged allergy skin test, the doc never told me what materials they would test for and I didn't think to ask. The outcome is that Tucker was not tested for food allergies. We've had him on a special diet at the recommendation of our vet, but that's all based on assumption, not science. And since he's continued to suffer allergic reactions, I don't know if he is or isn't allergic to beef. Frustrating....the only solution would be to risk introducing meat products but is that wise since we are injecting doses of environmental allergens? Simply stated, testing for food allergens as well as environmental would have answered these questions definitively. I feel as lost as I did the day we went there.

I highly recommend this place.The whole staff at Animal Dermatology and Allergy is very pleasant on the phone and during services. If I have a question or need an appointment everything is seamless. My dog Chase has been a patient of Dr.Burkette’s for the last two years. He is not the easiest to deal with and gets stressed easily at appointments. I love the fact that he is not treated any differently because of this. I need to mention Dr. Burkett. He is very smart and knowledgeable of his speciality along with veterinary medicine. My dog has an immune disorder of his nails. From day one I have been highly satisfied with Dr. Burkett’s communication and care plan for my dog. We have had positive results from all of it and have no complaints. At my last appointment I could tell Dr.Burkett was concerned about my dog and his physical appearance that was beyond his nail issues. I had spoke to him about some of my concerns that I had as well. He ordered a few blood tests. Got some of the results back and sure enough something else was going on. Got confirmation today from more tests. Had he not ordered the tests or been concerned everything I had concerns about would probably still be getting passed off as Chase’s nail issues. I am so thankful to Dr. Burkett for being concerned about Chase, communicating with me and also taking the time to listen to me.

Had my dog there for a 1 year therapy. Did absolutely nothing. All they care about is bringing your dog over there for visits so they can look at your pet for 2 minutes to determine “yep he’s still scratching” . Thank you for nothing ! If you have too much money and don’t know where you can waste it , bring it to these people ! They’ll gladly take it !

I cannot speak highly enough of Animal Dermatology & Allergy and Dr. Glen Burkett! When our beloved dog started scratching himself to the point of injury, we sought out Dr. Burkett for his expertise. We were initially unsure if our dog’s issues were food-related or due to environmental factors. Dr. Burkett’s methodical approach gave us a clear path forward. Dr. Burkett recommended a hydrolyzed diet of rabbit, something our dog had never eaten before. This dietary trial was designed to determine if food allergies were the cause of his itching, as food allergies don’t show up on skin tests and are less expensive to diagnose. When the scratching persisted despite the new diet, it confirmed that our dog’s allergies were environmental. Dr. Burkett then conducted a skin test, which revealed that our dog is allergic to grass, dust, weeds, and even human dander. While managing these environmental allergies will be more challenging than addressing a food allergy, we are incredibly grateful to finally know the specific triggers. Dr. Burkett’s thorough testing and clear explanations have provided us with a solid plan to help our dog build immunity and live a more comfortable life. The expertise and care at Animal Dermatology & Allergy have made a world of difference for our furry family member, and we look forward to continuing this journey under their guidance.

I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not found Dr. Burkett. My dog was struggling for years and has seen many vets with no resolution. I felt confident about Dr. Burketts treatment plan after my initial visit and my instincts were right! We still have a long way to go before my Lilly is fully healed but she is way more comfortable than she’s ever been! Thank you Dr. Burkett and his lovely staff for taking such good care of my baby
