Dr. Nowell was very forthcoming about conservative but targeted ear treatment and also discussed worst-case scenarios for full disclosure. Dr. Nowell was wonderful.

Absolutely love this place! All the staff are great and they take their time listening to you and explaining everything in detail! Was amazing with my cat Pepper, who has severe food and skin allergies! Dr Nowell is great! Definitely would recommend them!

The team always takes time to answer all my questions and concerns. Dr. Knowles and the derm team are all wonderful! They are always helpful, addressing all concerns and taking wonderful care of Bruiser.

Before going to Animal Dermatology, our beautiful dog was sick all the time. They helped our baby to get healthy and we cannot be happier about the wonderful treatment she received. Thank you Dr. Watson! Dr. Watson is the best!

World-Class Veterinary Dermatology with Expertise, Compassion, and Trust
As someone who approaches important decisions with thorough research and care, I feel incredibly confident entrusting my fur-baby, Matzo Ball, to Dr. Cynthia Bauer for his upcoming dermatologic procedure this Monday. Even before treatment begins, her depth of expertise, clarity, and calm confidence have given me complete peace of mind.
Dr. Bauer earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine with honors from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine and completed a rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Veterinary Specialists of South Florida. She was then accepted into a highly competitive four-year dermatology residency and master’s program at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, completing her residency in 2010 and earning a Master of Science specializing in Veterinary Dermatopathology. She achieved Diplomate status with the American College of Veterinary Dermatology (ACVD) in 2011 — a distinction that reflects the highest level of expertise in the field.
Dr. Bauer has also contributed meaningfully to veterinary medicine through research, authoring a study using only client-owned, volunteered pets to help improve skin testing for animals suffering from environmental allergies. Her clinical interests — including infectious skin diseases, ear disease, and allergic skin conditions in dogs and cats — are evident in her thoughtful, precise approach. She has also served as a visiting professor of dermatology at St. Matthews University School of Veterinary Medicine since 2012, further underscoring her commitment to excellence and education.
What truly sets this practice apart, however, is the compassion. Dr. Bauer and her technician, Lauren, connected so lovingly with Matzo Ball — seeing him not just as a case, but as the special little soul he is. That warmth, paired with such elite credentials, is incredibly reassuring as a pet parent.
I could not feel more confident in Dr. Bauer’s care and treatment plan. She represents the very best of veterinary dermatology, and I’m deeply grateful Matzo Ball is in her hands.

Dr. Nowell and her staff are professional and caring. They literally saved my dog from his horrible suffering from allergies. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking dermatology vet care. I am not sure if Erin is spelled correctly but she is always amazing with my dog!

Everyone was caring and understanding. To the techs who took care of Orion, I know how much you all loved on him because he smelled like each of you. Thank you so much for all you do.

My cat had a major skin infection, and needed possible autoimmune disease testing. All of the staff were fantastic. I couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you to the receptionist team, technician and doctor for getting my cat in right away and treating us with so much kindness and understanding. I highly recommend this amazing practice to anyone who has a pet with skin issues!

It was critical to get my girl comfortable, and regular allergy medicine was not working. they were able to identify her allergies and develop a plan to treat them in the first visit. I love whoever is behind texting they go above and beyond just sending information with comments like give “ Georgie a hug” and sending a ❤️ when I reply hug given.
