I want to first start with my horse Valentine, and personally thank D. Randy and his team for helping her. She is my first horse and we saved her from the home she was at, little did we know she would need emergency surgery to recover foreign objects from her lady parts that looked to be inside of her for months before I brought her home. I am so incredibly thankful my vet sent me to the clinic to see Dr.Randy and his team. They all took such good care of my girl. I was allowed to visit her and get updates. She recovered so well and is settling in at her forever home . Secondly I’d like to thank Dr.Smith for taking such good care of our Donkey Rizzo that is on foul watch! She gave us a good scare but she is enjoying her mommy staycation! Also a special thank you to the tech Avery! She has been so kind to send me rizzo mail when she is working .My family and I enjoy our daily pics of Rizzy while we wait patiently for the baby to be born.The level of care is exactly what we would expect. Thank you all again to whoever has helped with either VALENTINE OR RIZZO. My family and I can-not thank you enough we are so appreciative and grateful.
We cannot thank Quakertown Veterinary Clinic enough for the exceptional care they provided to our cat, Sherbert.He was diagnosed with a linear obstruction and required urgent surgery. Dr. Lindsey Davison quickly identified the issue and guided us through what needed to happen next. The overnight surgical care by Dr. Cortney Zeledon was outstanding, and we received clear, compassionate updates throughout the process.The following day, Dr. Arielle Schoenlein shared wonderful news about how well the surgery went and how little damage had been done. Sherbert was able to come home much sooner than expected and is recovering beautifully.We also want to recognize Sam at the front desk, whose kindness and help made an overwhelming situation far easier to navigate.The entire team went above and beyond. We would recommend Quakertown Veterinary Clinic without hesitation to anyone facing an urgent or complex veterinary situation.
I had a very good experience and my puppy is feeling much better. I had rescued her 2 days prior and she had watery diarrhea. They were able to see me first thing in the morning and although the testing took 2 hours, it was worth the wait since they nailed down the diagnosis and she was treated immediately after the testing was done. She is now much better. The staff was so friendly and I liked the vet. She explained everything clearly. I will definitely use Quakertown again and am considering moving my pet's routine care there.
Had my first visit last Saturday for my cat, everybody was great very friendly very polite very professional, the girl took us back and did the initial part of the visit was very nice and the doctor was so good with Kit Kat, very kind very gentle I'm very easy to communicate with, I will definitely be going back I'm glad I found such a wonderful veterinarian to take care of my pet 🩷
