Preventive care

Awesome place. I'm in this area a lot now and needed to establish vet care for my three furkids. Staff is great. Dr G is very pleasant and she did thorough examination on my youngest dog. He has a possible ligament injury and she discussed several options on how to proceed now as well as what could happen in the future.

I have a Pitbull/American Bulldog who has had skin issues his entire life (7 years). It has been kept under control by buying excellent quality foods, treats, special shampoo's and watching what his bedding was washed in. Recently his skin has just been down right terrible. Nothing was helping. This vetrinarin was the 2nd I went to see after the first failed miserably after multiple visits to even touch the problem. After 3 visits here at the Ark his skin was even worse. While I understand that I'm not a vet; I do know my dog. I've had him for SEVEN years and he's quite literally my soulmate. Nothing I expressed was taken into consideration and she argued every point I had in a very condescending manner. I had to rush my dog to another vet in the middle of the night to find out that my dog has staph infection. Mrs. Gosik pushed that my dog be placed in an e-collar against my judgement and spoke to my husband as if he were stupid. I didn't want my dog in an e-collar because he drools and makes a disaster when drinking water. She pushed so I caved. Now, under my dogs jowels is extremely infected because of the e-collar. I even placed feminine pads in the collar to absorb the drool and mess and replaced them multiple times a day and it still didn't help. The antibiotic that he was placed on by Mrs. Gosik was also useless against the infection my boy has. It has only been 4 days since my trip to the emergency vet; my dog has improved drastically. I was listened to and my concerns were validated. While Mrs. Gosik has to be some people's cup of tea because she obviously has her own practice; she isn't mine. I was extremely disappointed in the way she handled my dog and my concerns for him. She even questioned my choice of heartworm prevention and was very rude and consistent about testing for heartworms. I allowed the test which came back negative. She didn't even offer the results I had to ask, at which point I was being condescending because I knew my dog was negative. If you are a true animal lover, your pets are the equivalent of your children, and YOU know your children. For my concerns and thoughts to be blatantly ignored was disheartening. I will not return.

Very good pet care. Dr. G. does follow-ups with animal patient by making phone calls, after hours, 1 and 2 days after visit. For me that shows a professional that provides good care for concerns of pet owner and pet.
