Our Lab Sadie came to Dr Paul Schwartz in some extremis. Six months earlier, a vet in Washington, DC cut a large lipoma from her chest. Post-op tough. She chafed at tight bandages, eventually chewed off despite usual lampshade. Six months later, the lipoma was growing back, soon got bigger than ever. The vet acknowledged he was unable to cut as aggressively as the growth demanded, referred us to surgery practice in VA, where we got diagnosis, estimate. Just then we were due back in Millbrook, found Dr Schwartz, whose estimate was almost a thousand dollars less...and his post-op regimen much different. Even though his incision had to be longer, wider and deeper, he did not wrap her in bandages, prescribing T-shirts and close attention instead. Even though Sadie's second surgery was more drastic, she healed much faster, and as she did, we could see how deftly he had stitched her. Sadie says she wants to give him five stars.

I moved to Millbrook in October with two black labs. From the beginning I knew we were in excellent hands. Dr. Roellke is thorough, gentle, caring, so willing to answer questions, resulting in the best pet care possible. One lab is completely blind and with Dr. Roellke's help we were guided in a direction that may mean sight for this great boy. Hope is the word. Thank you!

Over the past year I have used the Center to examine and treat three of my animals: one elderly lab, one elderly cat and one very healthy and energetic yellow lab. Each of the circumstances have been different. I have found the Center to be responsive to the needs of my pets and to be respectful of my need to know just what they are seeing in the examination, what my options are for treatment and very patient with respect to my many questions and suggestions. Over the past 20 years I used the same veterinarian in the Millbrook area. Forced to change practices I was not expecting the same quality of care. Surprise! I got it. Thank you Center for Veterinary Care. I only wish they treated fowl and sheep as well.

When my horse developed an 80% tear of her deep digital flexor tendon, I knew it could have been the end of us. Dr. Frederick and his team were so prompt, so available and so supportive it helped us both physically and emotionally through a difficult and frightening time. I felt he had genuine affection for my horse, and Dr. Frederick gave me access to him for any questions I had, at any time. When he came to the barn for other patients, Dr. Frederick would never fail to ask how Cheyenne was doing and sometimes went out the check for himself. Less than two years later, Chey and I entered our very first horse show, did five events, and took home six ribbons, including reserve champion! How's that for a success story?

The Center for Veterinary Care is an amazing place - amazing veterinarians, support staff and facilities. I have owned many pets over the past 40 years and I have used several different veterinary centers. The Center for Veterinary Care is top notch with the best doctors and the latest and best equipment. I was so appreciative when Dr. Schwartz responded to an after hours emergency within minutes and provided constant monitoring of my dog when he was in critical condition. Dr. Schwartz is an excellent diagnostician and I have always felt confident my dogs were in great hands. I have found him, the other veterinarians and each of their staff members to be very caring, friendly and extremely competent in every way. I never feel rushed and every detail is explained very thoroughly. I highly recommend this Center to anyone who is looking for quality care for their pets.
