We cannot say enough about this facility. It is a well oiled machine. The staff is genuine, listens, and communicates. Trusting them with the health and care of our pet felt safe. Unforseen injuries with our pets can be a tough and costly experience. It was such a relief to find VSS. They provided amazing and supportive service! Thank You VSS!!
When our 9yr old pit mix Stella needed a liver lobectomy we were concerned if she was even a candidate or if it would be successful. Our Primary Vet and the Internist from AVSG both recommended VSS and Dr. Peter Sebestyen. His knowledge, expertise and compassion immediately put us at ease and the surgery was a success! The post-op care was amazing! The caring nurses and friendly support staff kept us informed of her recovery and even sent us a pic after she had eaten her first meal. That put our minds at ease.
After discharge, Stella had issues with one of the meds but Dr. Sebestyen and the nurses assisted in finding a solution and kept checking in on Stella throughout...read full review
I brought my Malinois in for a mast cell tumor on her head in hopes of getting it surgically removed. It’s unfortunately too large to be removed, but staff and vets here treated my girl like their own, and did their absolute best for her while she was in their care, including a nail trim on her scraggly toes. Thank you so much!
