Doctor Yogi was very thorough and knowledgeable. He took our concerns seriously and examined our dog with care. He explained the diagnosis and treatment plan clearly and answered our questions.
From scheduling to the actual visit - I didn’t feel rushed and I felt like both the Doc and the Tech were both extremely attentive to my primary concerns for Sora. They took extra care of her and helped recommend the best options that instilled confidence in myself as well. I plan to bring all of my dogs here from this point forward. Thank you again to everyone at Bethany, it truly was a pleasure.
I was looking at past reviews and I can see why they had Dr. Shah join the team. It seems to me that their issue was being short staffed. I followed Dr. Shah from his previous place of employment (Glen Burnie Animal Hospital)... I will follow Dr. Shah wherever he goes... Yes, it sucks driving 45 minutes to get to this Vet from my house but soooooooo worth it. Since you don't know anything about me ... I love any animal and I do everything I can to help any animal but my in-home pets are my entire world... I have a kitty who is healthy, built like a horse and is strong as hell... I also have a 14 year old teacup, applehead Chihuahua. She is the reason I am so detailed on this review. I know there are other pet owners similar to me when it comes to their baby and reviews are EVERYTHING. My dog is hand fed piece by piece, carried around in a robe and even gets an umbrella held over her when it rains to drop the big ol rain drops from hitting her little head ... Pray for us because my husband and I are her biggest enablers and she knows we serve her every need and want and takes advantage of it... She has to get her anal glands "expressed/emptied" and you have a Vet expressed/emptied "internally" compared to a place like petco that can empty them by attempting to do it "externally" where they just squeeze each one from the outside of her booty but expressing them externally does not do it correctly. I have seen Dr. Shah once a month for the past 7 years now which is when I first moved here. I would do anything for this dog... I am the pickiest, aggressive, protective owner when it is in regards to anything that concerns my baby girl. She has had 3 teeth removed two times in the past and once was by Dr. Shah but she received a total mouth extraction by a referral directly from Dr. Shah. He didn't want do it due to the high risk with her being 14 years old, how small she is and because of the difficulty there would be to get one particular tooth out. I had never been so scared in my life like I was when she got her total tooth extraction done (occurred on my birthday 08/11/2023) but I had went through with it because of how much I trust and respect Dr. Shah's judgement/opinion. He has never "sugar coated" anything when it comes to my animals. The staff are great at Bethany Centennial Animal Hospital... little expensive but worth it. Highly recommend Dr. Shah for your Veterinarian but I don't have experience with any of the other vets at the location. Regardless, I think people who are reading these the older negative reviews should still give this place a chance because if they can make me happy, anyone should be happy lol.
