Dermatology Pet Care

At the time of writing this review, I have been seeing Dr. Simões for almost a year. Prior to first meeting her and her staff, I had been taking my cat, Anubis (we call him Nubie) to my regular vet for what I suspected must have been allergies. While my regular vet was super helpful in determining my cat had allergies (and also treating them a little), Dr. Simões was leagues above from just the initial visit alone. Nubie came in wearing a full body suit and a soft cone that looked like an orange slice - he wouldn't stop itching and I was at my wits' end trying to help. Dr. Simões not only crafted a longterm goal to permanently relieve my cat's allergies, she also sent us home with an immediate plan and medication that would make Nubie comfortable in the interim. Something that stood out to me the most was the fact that Dr. Simões was acutely cognizant of the fact that Nubie is FIV+, and as such, typical treatments need to be monitored or changed because his overall health is at risk. Every time we needed to change a med or add something or do bloodwork, Dr. Simões would regularly remind me that we needed to be aware of just how this might affect Nubie due to his FIV+ status. She even went above and beyond by consulting her colleagues in the veterinary field to be sure she was treating him safely and optimally. I was, and still am, so appreciative of that. Nubie is doing great under Dr. Simões' care, and is back to his sweet, loving self. I am thrilled to see him thriving and loving life again. Additionally, her staff are just the most caring, kind individuals and love on your pet as if it were their own. Nubie would get so excited when they came in the exam room and demanded they pet him while he rubbed his head on their shoes. :) After my experience here, I am most angry with myself for not getting my cat in sooner - I was regularly informed that trips to a veterinary dermatologist would be super costly, and attempted to avoid it if I could. After relenting and coming here, I actually saved money in the long run because they oftentimes cost me less than my regular vet! Definitely kicking myself for that. If I could give advice to anyone who is looking for help for their critter, it would be to just do it. Take them in, because the relief they experience from treatment is so absolutely worth it. I would also suggest that you plan to spend some time here: my visits were always at least an hour long, and a lot of that is waiting. There's only one doctor, and she's providing the most top notch care one could want, so she spends a good amount of time with every patient (including yours!). I never had a problem with the waiting, because the quality service they provided was always worth it. Nubie goes in for checkups every few months and gets bloodwork done, and he's never been happier. I am so utterly thankful to Dr. Simões and her staff for everything.

Scout had a great follow-up visit. Doing much better after the treatment from his initial visit.

Dr. Simoes and her staff are amazing and very gentle with my difficult cat. They're very knowledgeable, easy to get in contact with and patient while I ask a million questions. Luna is already doing much better, highly recommend if your pet is having itchiness!

I'm so glad that I brought my pet in, because I was getting the wrong diagnosis and prescription usage frequency from my dog's previous Veterinarian. Dr. Simoes helped clear up a lot of things and get the right treatment for his ear infection and skin affliction. My dog didn't feel comfortable during the visit though and he growled a lot which is something he's never done at a Dr appointment. He's been through a lot this past year, so he must've been scared. The staff at Dermatology Pet Care really cares about my dog and they continue to follow up with me on his health as he gets ongoing treatment (from his new Vet) for the issue he came to see them for.

Dr.Simões and her team are amazing, and have helped make my English Bulldog comfortable again. He has always suffered from pretty severe skin allergies and it had caused him to loose his zest for life. He is now feeling much better and we continue to see improvement. Thank You!
