Village Veterinary Hospital: Lucas Cindy DVM

Dec 2020

I have been going to Village vet for maybe 10+ years and will go nowhere else with my Pets. I typically use Dr. Trimble ( I love her) but have seen the other DR's too. Our Golden Retriever lost the hair on his chest and skin was weeping, after trying a few different things ( medicines etc.) the Dr. said we should change his food to a skin sensitivity prescription. By the time he was through 1/2 of the bag, his hair grew back and skin healed. This was 6 yrs. ago and he has never had another problem, he is still on the same food. I have 3 other dogs I take there and I am always confident they will take care of them for me. I know not everyone has had a positive experience, but the "Rants" posted are outrageous, I can't even imagine any of the DR's or Techs treating anyone or their Pets in the manner stated in the post.

I can not adequately express the positive feelings I have for the vets, techs, and staff at Village Veterinary Hospital. ALL of the personnel we interacted with at Village Vet were professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, empathetic, sympathetic and most importantly their various skills were beyond compare. Before I begin my actual review I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I arrived distraught at the hospital on Thursday morning with a VERY sick cat (Winston) at home whom I couldn't get in to the vet (at a different clinic) who had seen him two days before. Village Vet was able to admit Winston within the hour, and by the end of the day had conducted tests that showed Winston was in dire condition (i.e., a major obstruction somewhere in his stomach/intestines). Exploratory surgery would be necessary to possibly save his life, but because Winston is an older cat, my wife and I had decided to have him euthanized if costs to possibly save his life became too high. After a tearful consultation with Dr. Lucas, in which she offered several possible options for Winston's care (including euthanasia), a decision was made to perform the exploratory surgery. We agreed that if the cause of the intestinal obstruction was cancer, Winston would not be awakened from surgery. If the cause of the obstruction was something other than cancer, we would be able to talk to the surgeon during surgery to determine if we wanted to have the surgery continued. BEFORE the surgery took place, Dr. Lucas gave us SET costs for both the possible 'surgical' euthanasia and, in a better case, the surgical treatment itself. Winston did have an obstruction that was treatable, and I can definitively say that he is alive today because of Dr. Lucas and her fantastic team at Village Vet. His post operative treatment was exceptional, and at least 6-8 different tech and staff workers provided Winston (and me!) excellent care. These workers went above and beyond to get to know Winston and they all provided us both highly needed mental health care! I could say more, but I think I have made my point. Village Veterinary Hospital and its people are the BEST. Thank you again.
