  I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Strottner, Dr Weinstein and the whole team at VCA. When my 8 y/o golden was diagnosed with an aggressive mammary cancer we were not given a lot of hope. I interviewed 3 oncologists and Dr Strottner was the third. She was the best one we interviewed, combining a scientific and rational mindset with empathy and bringing more options to the table than anyone else. We did a revision surgery with Dr. Weinstein who is unimaginably smart, precise and competent. We had yet another tumor a year later that was assumed to be spread but the team at VCA determined it might be another primary tumor. We operated again with Dr Weinstein and have been on oral chemo, which was a good option for her. My dog just celebrated her 10th birthday. It’s been now two years so far, and aside from the two weeks of downtime for the surgeries, she has been able to run, play and jump and act like her normal self. No one with a dog with cancer knows for sure how much time they will get, including us, and the treatments are expensive there is no doubt about that. But we cannot thank the team at VCA enough for the quality time we have gotten and hope to get much more with their precise and compassionate care.

  Was very disappointed with my experience today. Left with no real true answers! The vibe here is hope you have at least 15-25k savings to save your pets life! They have a care credit card that interests rates are 24.9% absolutely absurd! Truly ridiculous with the pricing. I went back to my vet for a second opinion and they also agreed that cancer treatment plus surgery should not cost 17k. Dr. Strottner would not answer my questions and revert back to “well we just need to run tests to see”. We already know what the issue is! You can clearly see that my dog has two thyroid lumps in his throat. The only thing this place cares about is money and not saving your pet!! If you guys truly CARE you would set up a payment plan. Having a dog with cancer is already stressful enough! I will not be referring any of my friends or family to this place!

  Cannot say enough about how good Dr Strottner and her team are at this facility. They treated my dog for a year with cancer . They were transparent , caring, reasonable, and very accessible to us when we had questions. Having a dog with cancer is very stressful but dealing with them was not a burden at all. We will be bringing any of our future pets here

  My dog, Luna, has finished her radiation treatments today and I am so glad to report that all has gone even better than I had allowed myself to hope. She has a rare type of mast cell cancer—oral—and the tumor was large before I discovered it. Naturally it would be premature to assume it’s completely gone but it looks gone. We’ll see, and do whatever is needed next, but this is the best outcome I could have hoped for and now I have lots of hope for her future. She’s not even 5 years old yet. I can never thank Dr. Treuill and staff enough. I am eternally grateful.
