Needham Animal Hospital: Jaffe Steve DVM

Jul 2024

We had just moved to Wilmington and our rescue hound needed some care to his mouth. We has already seen another vet here and did not find the experience satisfactory and hugely expensive for what was provided ( a standard vaccination). Needham was recommended to us. We cannot say enough about how welcoming the space is, how courteous and friendly the staff were and how exceptional Dr. Gentile was in his thorough and knowledgeable approach, his recommendations and the complete lack of "push" for more tests or treatments. Our pup is 8 years old and we had been to many vets over the years - the majority were skilled and provided adequate service, some excellent service - but our wary rescue usually resisted entering a vet building and mostly trembled in the waiting room. Not this time - his tail did not stop wagging and his face was relaxed and happy. Is that not the best recommendation? our canine companions know so much more than we do! The treatment on his mouth is working a dream and the cost was very reasonable.

I was referred to Needham Animal Hospital by a new friend when I moved to Wilmington a couple of months ago. They did not disappoint. Upon arrival, I was welcomed by the receptionist and my vet tech was wonderful and positive. My pup, Beau, isn't the biggest fan of vets (he's actually quite the opposite), so I personally dread this visit as much as he does because he gets so nervous and anxious, and I know it's quite a job to handle him. The experience I had at Needham and with Dr. Stephanie Crow was the best experience I've ever had with a vet. My last vet visit was a very poor one (at another establishment before I moved), so I was extra nervous, especially establishing at a new location. Stephanie walked in with the biggest smile on her face (especially after I knew Beau was likely difficult) and just loved him so much. She sat right there on the floor beside Beau with me, answered all of my questions, explained every medication to me, and made me feel right at ease. My boyfriend and I both were VERY pleased all around. The pricing was also standard for an animal hospital (and was actually a LOT cheaper than what I was used to at an establishment in Cary, NC before I moved). I'm pleased here. All of this to say, I am SO happy I established here. I know that they will take care of Beau (and my nerves) on every visit. It means the WORLD as a pet parent knowing that you're taking them to a place who loves them as much as you do! Highly recommend!!

Love the care my dog always gets here. Wonderful vets and staff. I had tried another vet before coming here but was not happy, so when a neighbor recommended Needham, I decided to try them and have not looked back.
