Amazing veterinarian! Old fashioned type of care that is outstanding! Not the conveyor belt type of care most Vets give.He always goes above and beyond for all the animals he treats and all their owners. He is top vet in my eyes as he always, always, puts his full heart in to the care he provides. It's so nice knowing someone loves animals as much as I do and knows their not just our pets, but they are our Family/Children! Read Less

I have a new puppy looking for a vet close to home made appointment because the dog needed to be neutered. Took him for appointment I dropped him off they told me to come back few hours later. Did not meet the vet before so assumed I would meet him when I picked up the dog that also did not happen. I took him today to get stitches out and still did not meet him. I trusted them to do surgery on my dog and still have no idea who the vet is. Do I think I will go back there no and the dogs surgery was fine no problem with dog he was fine it is because I trusted them to do it and don't know who did it. Read Less

I went there on Labor day 2018 with a litter of sick kittens approximately 5 weeks old. I called at 8:50 a.m. and was asked how soon could I be there; I stated that I could make it within a half hour and did just that. When I arrived there was one couple there with a small dog that had possibly ingested something unagreeable. The pup appeared in no apparent distress. Granted, I do not know what was going on in the back, but no one else in that time period seemed to come or go. By 11:30 a.m., my sick little babies had not eaten, were in a carrier in a very cold separate room, and they had been examined with a plan of action in place to the tune of $484.00. The vet tech and the vet had done basically the same exam, just one hour apart. Also by 11:30 a.m. the waiting area was absolutely full to the max. I was told AT THAT TIME it could be hours before these little ones were treated! These kittens were sick, weak, had not eaten and now were freezing while running temperatures. Fearing for their well-being, I decided to leave. They charged me $360.00 for the exams of all the kittens and, I assume, the paper collars put on them marking if they were boys or girls. They couldn't even see fit to give me the recommended medication for the kittens, and indeed, they were worse for staying in a cold room for hours without food or treatment. Those kittens needed treatment urgently but the big ticket items were barking. If you have a dog and thousands of dollars, you'll get prompt service here. Read Less

We've been taking our cats to Dr. Bumgartner for almost a decade now. Both he and his staff are great; we've always had a good experience.

I can't say enough about Dr. Bumgardener and his staff. Personal family Vet, remembers your name and doesn't push you to do or give something to your dog. Recommends and let's you decide.

I adopted a 12-year old senior cat from SPCA and took him to see Dr. Bumgardner the next day. I could tell from the moment that Dr. Bumgardner walked in the room that he was kind and patient--he had no air of pretension. He greeted me and then greeted my cat. Rather than jump right into an examination he spoke warmly to my cat and petted him. I could tell from the smile on Dr. Bumgardner's face that he had a genuine love for animals. I also appreciated that Dr. Bumgardner had a more conservative approach to medical treatment. Because my cat had lab tests 3 months prior, Dr. B said it was unnecessary to subject him to the needle-stick again. He also spent some time talking to me about my cat's diet, countering "fads" with established facts (I had been thinking about a raw food diet but also had a lot of questions about "grain free" verses food with grains, etc.). A few months ago I thought my cat had ear mites, so I took him to see Dr. B. After examining both of his ears, Dr. B. told me that my cat did not have ear mites, but an allergy--possibly environmental, possibly food-borne. He prescribed both an ear cleanser and an Rx ointment to treat the allergy, and he said if it didn't work we might need to consider an Rx diet (fortunately the ointment worked). When I went to check-out at the front desk they were out of the ear cleanser that he wanted me to buy, but the receptionist asked the doctor if she should sell me a new ear cleanser that had arrived earlier that week. Dr. B told me, "Well Sam, I've not yet reviewed this new cleanser as carefully as I'd like, so why don't you go ahead and buy the Epi-Optic cleanser from amazon instead. If I decide I like this other one better I'll let you know." I was really struck by the fact that he'd rather I buy a product that he trusted from another vendor then buy a product he had not yet researched. He's clearly more interested in your pets well being than making a few extra bucks. I eventually ran out of the Rx ointment and my cats ears began to act up again. I called and scheduled a new appointment with Dr. B. A few hours later I received a call from his receptionist. Dr. B had reviewed my cats chart, and because his symptoms were the same as last time, he said that he could just re-prescribe the Rx, but to let him know immediately if his symptoms didn't clear-up. Again, Dr. B could have had me bring my cat in, which would have cost me a co-pay plus the Rx, but Dr. B had a sensible understanding that didn't require me to subject my cat to a vet visit unnecessarily (which is good, because my cat becomes extremely anxious when she has to leave my apartment). The only "negative" thing I can say is that the first thing the vet techs do is weigh my cat when he arrives for an appointment. To weight him I have to take him out of his carrier and place him on a scale (a feat!), and getting him back into the carrier can be challenging. On my first visit my cat ran off and hid under a shelf, and it took some work to coax him out. So on my second visit I suggested that they weight my cat *in* his carrier, and then when he was out of his carrier for Dr. B they weighed the carrier by itself and subtracted that number from the first number. I now do this every time and it works like a charm. I give Dr. B five stars and would recommend him to anyone. Read Less

I have 2 dogs and 3 cats that see Dr. Bumgardner and his staff. I always have a great experience when i bring in my pets. They are knowledgeable and kind. I am never rushed out, the Dr. takes his time and explains everything he is doing during the exam. All of my animals are handled with kindness and respect by all the staff. The prices are great and that is a plus, however the level of care is what really stands out to me. I have and I do recommend Dewitt Veterinary Medical Center. I do believe the one star rating was meant for Veterinary Medical Center on Bridge street which is the emergency vet office.Read Less

I had a cat for about 11 years (got her at the SPCA). Dr. B was the first vet I took her to and only one time did I try another vet when I moved. After a really bad experience with the "new" vet, I took my cat to Dr.B who fixed her right up. He has a real kindness toward animals, and animals know it, as does his staff. I have not encountered any problems. My cat immediately (I think) relaxed when Dr. B touched her. Unfortunately she developed a very serious illness that she would not recover from and she was recently "put down." Cried for quite a while. Still do. Hard to lose someone you love so much. Read Less

While the care all my animals received was always great......the fees were going through the roof. AND they were always trying to push another vaccine or treatment. I got none of that at the DVMC. Just great care, service...with no sticker shock! I will be bringing in my dog next. They have won over a new customer. Read Less
