I can not sing enough praises of Dr. Maro and the team at Ellwood Animal Hospital(and their sister site in Chippewa). I started bringing my Bernese Mt Dog, Joey, here in May of 2015. He had been diagnosed, by another vet, to have "Flying Snapping" (which is basically mini seizures). I was told that I would have to put him on Phenobarbital, and that he would most likely be on that the rest of his life. This really bothered me, b/c I didn't want to put a 3 year old dog on meds that will wreck his kidneys and liver. I was referred to Dr. Maro, and I am so thankful that I went. She did more studies and discovered that the fly snapping was actually connected to him having hip dysplasia and the beginning of arthritis. We have put him on a more holistic treatment, and it is like having a new dog. He's back to being his wiggly self with no fly snapping.
I will be honest that at the beginning I questioned all the x-rays, and other tests, but I had faith and it was a good thing that I went along with it. So trust her! She knows what she's talking about!
The staff here is absolutely amazing!! Everyone is so friendly, and Joey LOVES all the attention he gets from them! I feel welcome every time I'm there, and when I have (what i'm sure is stupid) questions they are very patient with me and take the time to make sure I understand what is happening and why.
If you are looking for a good vet, or just want a second opinion take your pet here. You will be really happy that you did Read Less
