Lewisville North Animal Clinic: Nygaard Susette DVM

Jan 2024

Where to begin...I live in Plano and have been taking my 13yr old pitbull to a vet near my house. He had all of a sudden started vomiting and having diarrhea so he received X-rays, blood work and stool samples to test after 3 weeks of being sick and not eating. My vet told me my dog looks great for his age and that he only had bacteria in his stool and that there was nothing more they could do. They referred me to a specialist who charges $300 just to speak to a veterinarian which is insane so my dad suggested I see his vet in Lewisville named Dr. Mandava. I called the Lewisville North Animal Clinic and after telling them I needed a second opinion and everything that was going on with my dog...they made us an appointment the same day to take a look at him. We agreed better X-rays needed to be taken since the first ones at the Plano vet were terrible. Dr. Mandava even used their ultrasound machine to see if he had any evidence of a tumor. Dr. Mandava let us back in the exam room during the ultrasound and pointed out my dogs issues right away. Sadly he has stomach cancer . But I'd rather know what is wrong than a vet telling me my dog is healthy for his age and yet looks like he is in pain. I felt like Dr. Mandava wasn't going to stop until we found out what was truly wrong with him. Now I'm able to keep my dog comfortable with pain meds until it's his time to go. Dr. Mandava even called me the next day to see how my dog was doing with the medication and if there was anything else he could do. I'll now drive 30 mins from Plano to Lewisville to see him knowing how much he cares about animals.

These people were fantastic. I have a dog dying of congestive heart failure and everyone was wonderful. I called hysterical because the last vet just wanted to push this test and that test and told me that I just need to end his life. CHF is a progressive disease and every day we get with him is a gift. Dev Mandava was so good with my precious fur baby. My dog has never gone towards a vet, he runs from them. He definitely doesn't sit down and pet them and it made me feel like he truly cared about my angel. My last vet was cold and rude and didn't look at the fur babies as if they were precious but more like property and not like a living breathing thing. I'm so glad I switched to someone who truly has a caring heart and soul. Taylor on the phone was so good with me and (i'm sorry I don't remember the other girls name) she was awesome as well. i will definitely go back and have found my vet as long as I have my fur babies, he will be my vet.

We bought a house in large part to have dogs. The house we bought was just down the street from Lewisville North Animal Clinic. But, before we went I asked all my neighbors, that had animals, who they used. ALL used them. And not just because they were literally within walking distance. I wish my physician and dentist were as on the spot about answering calls and making appointments!!!!! I get so angry when a call goes immediately to answering devices, only to be called WHO KNOWS WHEN. Not here. The friendliness of the staff, and vets contribute to a relaxed visit. The last of Feb our dog NYX figured out how to open the front door and took off down the road where he was hit by a car. I really thought we might have to end his life but the Vets there helped by making his operation affordable to us and did what they could to repair his fractured bone and lacerations. Our multiple visits since to check on the progress has only enforced how wonderful these folks are and how MUCH they truly care for your animals. I think Nyx knows as well. Our first visit, before the accident, I had to drag him in. He did NOT like the smell of a Vet office. Now he cannot wait to go in. The same with our other dog Ishtar. She must be restrained with effort to keep her from wanting to go in the office and greet them all. Nyx is almost out of his splint and we are thankful every day for not only the great work done, the time given for explanations of what it being done, how to help with his healing, the affordability for the treatment, and how well they treat our beloved dogs. I do not know how it could be better.
