What wonderful caring and compassionate staff this facility has. The doctor was outstanding as she gave general background specific details the of what the dog is going through now and anticipation of what will come into the future. Then talked about different treatment possibilities and regiments and how that would happen and what the costs would be.

Dr. Contreary was very thorough. Explained everything in depth and answered all questions. Never felt rushed. Our cat is doing so much better and we are so happy to have been referred.

I have NEVER been “dumped” as a client until questioning a treatment that veterinarian Katherine Doerr administered on my dog. Our consultation started out well concerning Biscuit’s allergies and “treating the cause not the symptoms” (her words) with immunotherapy. We had spent the past five years battling his seasonal breakouts/hotspots/bacterial infections with antibiotics, Cytopoint (i.e. CADI) injections, APOQUEL, steroids, topical shampoos, etc. NONE of it was working anymore. We’ve been going to the same vet, Conway Veterinary Hospital (Dr. Robert Porter), for the past 6 years. I’ve also been a foster parent for the Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) shelter for many years. I donate plenty of time and money to animals, even animals that are not mine, so that’s not my issue here. It’s the principle. We came here because Cytopoint injections and antibiotics were no longer working, which I was very clear about, both in writing and verbally. So what’s the first thing veterinarian Katherine Doerr did when Biscuit had his first seasonal breakout? Cytopoint injection. Yep, the thing I told her stopped working years ago. It did absolutely nothing to help him, and instead of paying $80 at my regular vet, we were charged over $600 for a useless shot and more tests to determine which antibiotic would clear his skin. A test she had ALREADY RUN ONCE, sending us home with antibiotic that did nothing. We were charged again for the SAME test and given NO antibiotic. When I questioned her methods, rather than offering a remedy, I got a letter stating that she no longer wanted to work with us. So, if you want a vet that doesn’t listen to or respect her clients, veterinarian Katherine Doerr is for you. As for the Veterinary Dermatology Center in general, my only experience prior to this was when our dog Abe had what we thought might be a bad inner ear infection. When we tried going here, ALL of the vets were at some dumb conference for two weeks. We couldn’t wait that long, so we drove him to the one in Tampa. They were performing tests while he was under anesthesia, and he aspirated, so I’m sure you can guess how that ended. Shame on me for giving them a second chance I guess.

The doctor was very thorough and kind. She treated our puppy well and all of the staff was very nice. However, be warned that if you bring in your animal, just to be seen is 200$. It would have been nice to have been informed prior to the appointment.

The rudest vet clinic I’ve ever come into contact with. I can’t speak to the docs services, bc I’ve never made it past the secretary. She’s been there for years as I’ve called twice attempting to make appointments and she’s cut me off mid sentence, let me know it’s going to be at least 6 months to get in (not a big deal, but I got the vibe she was dissuading me bringing my dog at all, for allergy testing). I said when should I call back? Was rudely cut off with a “we’ll call YOU!” Guess what, she/they never did.

I realize vet dermatology options are somewhat limited, but I work in a client facing role and have owned several businesses. I can’t imagine having someone like her as the first point of contact. She’s nasty, short and sounds like she doesn’t want to be there. I didn’t expect her to be my pal, but to be polite and professional.

I’ll just drive to another city and find a clinic that doesn’t employ rude and unprofessional staff. This was a referral from my vet, and I stated my experience was terrible and asked for other referrals.

I don't even know how to begin to explain my gratitude for the love and care you gave my Dory!! You saved her life. I would give a thousand stars in the review if it were possible!!
