The staff was friendly & kind to my Neopolitian Mastiff Mark despite him not being very receptive back. Dr. Allen has been a blessing for us when other vets have failed our sweet boy. We drove 3 hours each way to see her with our Mark & it was beyond worth it & we will be going back for continued treatment when need be. Anyone looking for a vet who truly understands the Mastiff breed, especially Neos, Dr. Allen & the staff at Ironstone is the place you're looking for. Read Less

Dr Walter is the best vet EVER! It is unfortunate that after saving our Miniature Schnauzer's life, I found out today when I placed a call for an appointment, Dr Walter and Ironstone have parted ways. A good vet cares. A great vet spends her own free time researching your dog's problems and determines it is a very unique problem and solved it within about a week of him dying. We love Dr Walter and drove very far to see her when she transferred from Harleysville to Ironstone. We will drive to Washington State to see Dr. Walter. Unfortunately, we have to lower our rating of Ironstone as losing Dr Walter is a tremendous loss to them and our 2 mini schnauzers, Comet and Cupid :( Read Less

This would have been a five star review until my phone call to the hospital this afternoon. My initial visit was awesome. Both the front desk and the vet were very understanding of my situation. Having to put my cat up for adoption due to my toddler having an allergy. I called today to see if they could mail/ fax/email the rabies certificate because the agency misplaced it and the woman who answered the phone was extremely extremely rude. Not only was she short with me but she made it very known to breathe heavy over the phone because clearly I was a complete inconvenience. In this same phone conversation, I was going to ask for a fax/email to forward my dogs pet record but again we are now searching. It's a shame because I really loved the vet but I will not tolerate being treated disrespectfully. Read Less

I'm thrilled to have found Dr. Kristy Walters, who just joined Ironstone Veterinary Hospital! After 6 months of scabs and a rash and three really awful experiences with other vets in the area, my cat, Kayla, was not a happy camper to be at another vets office. She had a bowel movement in the car on the way over and peed during the exam. Dr. Walters was so gentle, kind, and compassionate to Kayla. They wrapped her in a pheromone scented towel, played soothing music, cleaned her up and washed her carrier. Most importantly, she energetically sensed something going on with her right hip, which I had not realized, but it explained some of her behaviors when I hold her. Due to the pattern and variety of the scabs and rash, Kristy determined that Kayla has an autoimmune imbalance. After four days and a very low dose of steroids, Kayla's rash and scabs are almost completely gone. Thank you, thank you, thank you Kristy!!! I've scheduled for her to see my other cat as well who is having digestive issues. I considerate it a blessing to have a vet who can treat my cats from a holistic and conventional approach! Read Less

Dr. Sherilyn Allen has been our vet for many years and recently purchased a Laser machine which has been extremely beneficial to us and our 2 french bulldogs who are 11 and 13 yrs old. Both have back problems however since starting the treatments it's been very successful. I highly recommend it to anyone who has tried other avenues with no success. My one frenchie had been leaking urine for many months and Dr. Allen suspected it could be his back which is why we chose to try the treatments. After just 3 treatments he no longer drips and we don't think it's a coincidence. We are extremely excited about this new machine and wanted to share our experience. Our lives have been changed forever. They are very happy and even play together again which they haven't done for a while. So if you are looking for a new way to treat a problem your pet may have without surgery or medications this may be for you. We highly recommend it. Read Less

I have been a client at Ironstone for over 30 years and could not be happier. As a dog professional myself, I really appreciate the knowledge and caring possessed by the veterinarians and staff. The only negative thing I can say is that sometimes Dr. Allen is running a little later behind schedule than I would prefer but that is only because she takes as much time as necessary with each client to be sure they fully understand their pet's condition and all the available options for treatment. Also, there is very little turn-over of staff so you always know who will be handling your pet. Read Less
