Deerwood Animal Hospital

I've been taking Skynyrd the Rotti to Deerwood since birth 4 years ago. They've always done right by Skynyrd. I've tried cutting corners on price elsewhere and have had no luck. I can now honestly say this is the place to go if you want thorough care for your money and love for animals. My boy is rather big and intimidating. They always need my help with him, but that's understandable, lol. I'd rather be present for his treatments anyway. Oddly enough, Skynyrd always seems to enjoy his arrival there regardless. Let's face it, nobody likes getting a shot in the butt.

Amazing team took very good care of our cat and explained what we can do to improve his health. We were in and out quickly (which is great with a nervous animal) and the fee was reasonable and not excessive. Very thankful to have this as our neighborhood vet !

It took me a while to find a vet who allows large breed dogs (Cane Corso). Dr. Patel and his staff are so helpful. My big guy is not a fan of the vet, but they help me contain him for his examinations and shots. When I leave, there is slobber on the walls, ceiling, and the vet techs. They're true animal lovers there. Very competitive pricing too!

Amazing vet! We took our cat, Keanu, to Deerwood for his routine checkup + dental checkup + routine shots and it was a really good experience! The lady over the phone was courteous and helpful when scheduling the appointment. And when we got to the vet, the nurses and Dr. Patel were kind, welcoming, and just as importantly, experienced and efficient!

I took my eight-year-old cat to this vet to determine what was happening with her. She was hungry, thirsty, urinating frequently. It was determined that she may have diabetes. This was confirmed after some labs were drawn. My cat was diagnosed in March of this year, and I had to put my beloved cat down this month. Dr. Patel has a deplorable bedside manner and doesn't explain anything. He will do a procedure without telling you why he is doing it. I'm unsure if this is because of a language barrier or if he thinks we are all too stupid to understand. My cat wasn't doing well. She stopped eating and barely wanted to move. So, I took her to Dr. Patel. He got a set of vital, gave her fluids, which ended up in her peripheral spaces because they damn near tried to bolus her. He expressed her bladder but didn't explain why he did this. He x-rayed her and found her bladder was full, but he could have felt that it was full. Nothing he did had a rhyme or reason. He gave her antibiotics and told me she should improve in an hour or two. Well, that never happened. I'm waiting for a phone call because labs were drawn, and I had to contact them several times. Then, I received a text asking me to come in. I lost it. Why would I need to come in? Dr. Patel called even before he reviewed the labs. He reviewed them while he was on the phone with me. He said she could have this or that, or it could be DKA. Long story short, the guy didn't know. He didn't care, and I'm sorry I wasted my time with this so-called vet. His main concern was getting your money, not the animals he was supposed to care for. If you have a pet that has a chronic disease, do not take your pet to this vet. He lacks the compassion that a pet lover should have and the knowledge expected from a licensed vet.
