Shirley Veterinary Hospital

I've rescued and fostered about 75 dogs from shelters over the past 10 years and I've taken all of them to Dr. Archer. It can be extremely challenging to diagnose a dog with no medical history and Dr. Archer always comes through. I feel that accurately diagnosing problems and keeping my dogs healthy is just as important to him as it is to me, and its a rare and special gift for a veterinarian to have this level of dedication and commitment. When I recently thought about moving, I started making a mental list of what I would be giving up. Dr. Archer is at the top of this list. He always takes the time to explain and educate me about my dog's medical issues. I feel that his intelligence, compassion and commitment has definitely helped me save the lives of several dogs over the years that may not have made it if I had taken them to a different veterinarian.

Pros: Dr. Archer is brilliant and compassionate

Cons: You need to allow some extra time because is very thorough and takes the time to educate his clients.

My dogs may not like going there, but it does them every bit of good. They answered all questions I had. They gave me ear medication for my dogs infection, and suggested things that'll help both my dogs, like heartworm preventative. We go there once a year, and each time we go there, it gets easier to get the dogs in and out of the doors. They have updated it a lot since I started going there about 12 years ago! I enjoy visiting there, knowing that my dogs are in good hands.

Pros: They do whatever is needed done. They answer all Questions and Concerns. They Respect your pets no matter how ferocious

Cons: Tile floors for the dogs that want to slip away and run out the door. :]
