Preventive care

Dr. Depew is wonderful! She takes her time, and explains everything in detail. We are still very early into the immunotherapy journey, so no reportable results currently. The front desk staff is also great! The follow up on your pets progress/answering any questions you may have, is top notch!

We took our Papillon Toby to see Dr. Depew. We had been dealing with some kind of autoimmune issue that started in March after having a dental cleaning. Our local vet had been treating him and he was getting better, but still having issues with his skin. Originally we called because his paw pads were bleeding for 3 months until we finally got it under control and they healed by July. So we had pictures and a diary of everything he went thru since March. Although he is much better now, he is still losing hair, and I wanted to get a 2nd opinion. Dr. Depew was so good with him! She spent time with us going over the pictures and his history, and we left there with a positive feeling that he is going to be fine once we wean him off the steroids. She was wonderful along with everyone else we had dealt with at the practice. It took awhile for us to get in, but they did put me on a call list for cancelations, it just never worked with our schedule, but it was well worth the wait. I'm so glad that we took him to PADS, it really gave us peace of mind.

Had appointment with dr Jen, about option for surgeon. She chose not to see his results,cause they use different portal,so I brought mine for her to review,which she didn’t. Results of biopsy came back week later,sent me message about discussing them. On Monday she called me,I ask if she could reply via portal, she stated that she couldn’t directly. All I wanted was sometime show surgeon their finds(which were identical to his). This makes for POOR COMMUNICATION thru them.

LVVD is just fabulous. I got my cat from a shelter and he had overactive sebaceous glands causing minor growth of his fur. It was something that was totally new to me and Dr. Palmeiro and his staff were just fabulous in giving me information on how to gain control over it. You can see the difference in the pictures. Doctor Palmeiro is very knowledgeable and kind. He truly cares about his patients. His staff is just wonderful and very helpful. I highly recommend LVVD.
