Southwest Veterinary Dermatology

I wish you could give 0 star reviews because 1 star is more than this place deserves. 11/20/24 Dr Osborn killed my dog Bronx attempting to flush his ear for a chronic ear infection. I guess when you have a 14lb dog and when nothing is coming out you just keep pumping him full of liquid. They had to rush him to an emergency animal hospital nearby. This place is not equipped to do anything if something goes wrong. Since the liquid was not draining it was just absorbed into the surrounding tissue. This was enough to close off his wind pipe. The emergency vet could not explain why they pumped him so full of liquid. The picture I posted is him struggling to breathe on the ventilator. They had to give him pure oxygen just to get enough into his lungs. He suffered for hours on that machine. If you love your animals like we loved Bronx please take them somewhere else.

I was literally worried sick about my sweet Obi. I tortured myself trying to search for answers and solutions. Initially I couldn't get an appointment for a few weeks. I called asking if they got cancelations, the sweetest lady who answered my call was so compassionate and caring. She took my number and called me back the same day with an appointment that same week. I felt welcome, my Obi was made to feel like a superstar. Their kindness, patience and expertise were second to none. The doctor and her assistant were fantastic at explaining everything. You earnes my trust after the first sentence. Thank you all sooo much for putting my mind at ease. Obi the Basset Hound (and I) love you all!!

Cannot recommend Southwest Veterinary Dermatology enough! Our sweet Bourbon has been dealing with skin problems for the last six months and nothing we tried was helping. He had pus filled lesions all over his skin and I was in our primary vet office WEEKLY trying to figure out what was wrong. We finally decided it was time to see a dermatologist after the biopsies and 8 weeks of antibiotic treatment failed. Dr. Sarah was able to get him biopsied and we finally have a treatment plan. After six months of no answers and frustrations, I can’t even express how wonderful it is to have plan. Dr. Sarah and her incredible staff were worth the wait to get into and if you have a fur baby with skin issues, definitely take them to SVD.

I brought my Great Dane in today for his allergies and everyone including the receptionist, the vet tech and the doctor, were all very friendly and welcoming. The doctor is extremely knowledgeable and took her time explaining everything she was doing, and wanted to do with my dog. I would highly recommend bring your pet here!
