Reviews
I particularly appreciate the loving way animals are treated. Each patient receives as much time as they need, along with the necessary calm and attention, so that even anxious animals can be treated well. That's what I wish for in a human veterinarian, too.
I can highly recommend this vet. She treated Struppi with great care and explained everything clearly, including what she was doing and why. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Schwigat is an exceptional veterinarian with a deep love and dedication to animals. She always greeted us and our dog with a warm and friendly manner, making us feel we were in good hands. Her expertise and experience are impressive. She always provided us with clear and precise information and reassured us whenever we were worried about our pet's health. She took the time to answer our questions and give us guidance on how to improve our dog's care. We therefore wholeheartedly recommend her and thank her for her outstanding work!
Unfortunately, our appointment was cancelled the first time, which we could still manage. Then we received a call informing us that they hadn't ordered our dog's vital medication. The woman on the phone didn't even know what the medication was for. When we called to cancel, they told us they would order the medication and call us in a few days. To this day, we haven't received a call, and we managed to get an appointment elsewhere where the medication arrived within two days. It's a shame, especially after hearing so many good things.
