I had a great experience with QVC. I brought in my 12 year old cat, whom is very difficult to transport and handle. I was expecting the worst but the veterinarian Dr. Ognibene and her assistant were able to handle and treat my kitty even after she tried to escape.
The best vet ever. They always tried to do the best for our dogs, they are always available and everyone is very nice and professional. Prices are very reasonable. Blessings to you!
First time at your new emergency clinic with my cat last night. I have to say all the staff were great and caring in regard to my cat who had been vomiting. Did not charge me for unnecessary services as she had recently been to her regular vet.
My 11 yr old shorkie Bella was showing very upsetting behavior. Trembling and panting. Called her vet of 11 years who stated they did not have an opening for 5 days. Called quakertown veterinary clinic. The receptionist was very calming and let me know of any wait time for emergency care. It wasn't a concern as I just needed her to be seen. I gave symptoms and basic information before making the 30 minute trip. I was so worried but thankful for the caring staff and Dr Dipasquale who showed sincere care for her. We had bloodwork completed and came up with care plan and sent home with prescriptions for Bella. So thankful for the care. I would definitely recommend.
