After being referred to this veterinarian by another vet for our dog’s condition, we spent $1200 spent on diagnostics for our dog, with the outcome being that our dog needed a strict diet of chicken and rice only. For 4 years, we prepared and fed chicken and rice for him. Knowing that our dog was 15 years old, didn’t want to do any more painful, diagnostic tests done on him and wanted to focus on making the best of his remaining life. A month before he died, we took our (now 15 year old) dog in for a rabies shot and was pressured by Dr. DeSena to have a dental cleaning done. Worried about the risks of putting a dog of his age under anesthesia, we declined putting him through that procedure. Not long after, our dog took downhill turn and once it didn’t seem fair to continue prolonging his life. When took him to vet clinic to be euthanized, Dr. DeSena gave absolutely no emotional support. He was cold, insensitive, and made me feel like I hadn’t cared properly for our beloved dog, which couldn’t have been further from the truth. Final words from vet weren’t any “sorry for your loss”, but rather a “be careful as you pull out, cars whip around the corner and you’re distracted.” I called the clinic to let them know how upset I was about the way I was treated and Dr. DeSena never called back or apologized for his rude, insensitive behavior. I would not recommend Dr. DeDena and won’t be using their services in the future.

I cannot recommend them enough for all your creatures. They have not only taken care of my dogs, but also my bearded dragon and turtle. They are very attentive to all details to include calling to make sure everything is going great. I have even boarded my dogs with them and they were great. Thank you so much for the care you have given to all of my pets.
