| - University animal hospital came recommended by my vet (southside animal hospital) & also by the people I purchased my Doberman from when I asked for an ear crop referral. I researched vets across the valley and I'm glad I decided on having my dobermans ears cropped at University. Aside from the recommendations, there were a couple things that ultimately made me choose University.
1) they use a laser to perform the crop
2) the procedure is all inclusive
3) they offer a new client discount online
When I called around getting quotes for ear crops, I remember taking note that some places would charge an additional fee for after visits and tapings (average $20 a visit). The awesome thing about University is their ear crop service is a package deal. You pay one price and it includes pre surgery exam, blood work, the laser surgery, take home meds and all visits necessary after surgery to ensure your dogs ears heal properly and stand accordingly.
The facility is modern, always clean & smells great because they have some special odor eliminating candles they use/sell. Staff has been super friendly & always accommodating, they all love animals and make sure you and your pet feel welcome. If you love keurig coffee, you're in luck! They always have a nice selection of coffee to enjoy while you wait.
The day of surgery, I met with Dr Gus & Dr Steinburg. They did a brief history and discussed the procedure and an individualized plan for my puppy's crop. From what I understand, Dr Gus has been performing ear crops for many years and Dr Steinburg is learning under him to become one of the limited Vets who will continue to perform this procedure. I felt very confident in them and allowed their knowledge to choose the best crop for my puppy based on his age/ear shape/cartilage formation. I got a call a few hours later letting me know my puppy did great and was in recovery. They gave me a time frame to come and pick him up later on that afternoon. When I picked up my puppy I met with a tech and was educated on after care and was even given a special printout of my puppy with his Dr prior to his surgery as a special keepsake. Overall, I have nothing but positive things to say about University Animal Hospital.
