My extreme gratitude goes out to Dr. Brenda and Amanda for the care and compassion they showed as we said goodbye to our beloved Fiona. She became very sick, very suddenly with a diagnosis of a tumor on her spleen which resulted in internal bleeding. There was no way to have caught it and no hope for recovery. Dr. Brenda and Amanda came to our home to help Fiona transition in the comfort of her bed with us holding her in our arms. When they arrived Fiona actually lifted her head a bit and gave them a wag of her tail. It helped us as doggy-parents to know Fiona was happy to see them and not scared or anxious. I appreciate them so much for being there and love the team at Animal Doctor of Muskego. I'm glad we had our care there.

I think it's ludicrous for the vet who runs the practice to "review" her own business services. In the "five star" review posted here, Dr. Jodie justifies her clinic's shortcomings by explaining how "overworked" her staff is and how "demanding" her clients are--instead of taking to heart the concerns that people have expressed about the practice. Being "overworked" and "under-appreciated" are a reflection of poor management and leadership; they are not a result of "demanding" clientele. Dr. Jodie's staff--almost across the board--ranges from unfriendly and impersonal to downright rude. She makes excuses for them instead of hiring a competent business manager. Dr. Jodie is a good vet (although her people skills aren't the best), but when she defends her staff even to the point of losing clients who have legitimate complaints, it is an example of something seriously wrong with the practice as a whole.

When I was looking for a more holistic vet to take my dog to I came across the Animal Doctor. On the website, everything sounded great. Actually being there is a whole other story. Dr. Jodie is unbelievably rude, condescending, demeaning, and snobby. I have never had such a horrible vet visit. It seems like she tries very hard just to make her clients feel awful. After speaking to some other people I have learned this is very typical behavior for her. Her staff isn't any better. It is not a welcoming environment at all. Dr. Jodie really needs to work on her people skills. I will never be going back there.

I have been taking my Persian cat to Doctor Jodie for two years now. He had been having a re-occurring issue that my previous vet just kept giving medicine for and not willing to look at alternatives. Doctor Jodie took time to get to know my pet and offered several alternatives to try, one of which was a change in diet. It has been two years now and my cat has not had that issue any more. The staff is also friendly and caring.

We have been taking our dogs (all miniature dachshunds) to the Animal Doctor for many years. Our 2 current dogs, Vince and Halas are treated very well by the staff and Dr. Jodie. Dr. Jodie offers both holistic and traditional pet care products and she takes on the role of an educator and allows you, the pet parent to decide what is best for your pets. Our first dog, Elliott lived to be 15 years old under the wonderful care of the Animal Doctor. We'll always bring our pets here!
