Testimonials
What People Are Saying
Talk about service and compassion!! VDS is the total package. Upon arriving, the staff is ALWAYS super-friendly, whether in person or on the phone. The veterinarians take the time to explain what they see and need to do and make it very clear that they have your animal's best interest in mind. For my working dogs and me - their teeth are a massive necessity in their jobs. There is no other place I would recommend to anyone for dental work - from a fractured skull to broken teeth, they have helped me in so many ways, always with exceptional compassion. Thank you!
Jamie M.
We were very impressed with the care our kitty received. She had some serious dental issues that required four teeth extractions. Immediately following her surgery, she showed relief from what must have been chronic pain before the procedure. Our kitty bounced back so well and so quickly; it was easy to see she had received the very best care! The staff is extensive, and Dr. Lewis is exceptional. We were relieved that a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist managed our kitty's anesthesia during the surgery. We know without question that we were very fortunate to have been referred to VDS. We can't say enough good things about our experience.

We were very impressed. Dr. Lewis was able to save my two-year-old dog's canine. From start to finish we were amazed. The VDS team was able to schedule a consultation right away and scheduled the procedure almost immediately. Every staff member, particularly Dr. Lewis himself and Vickie, the veterinary technician, was so wonderful to our dog and family. They both took the time to explain the procedure and post-op care thoroughly. We highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Rice and the entire team are phenomenal! No one does it better. Compassion and expertise, combined with a genuine love for our pets, make VDS outstanding. Thank you, Dr. Rice, Dr. Caniglia, Cynthia, and everyone who helped get my Sydney healthy on 8/7/20 in Mt Laurel VDS. We are forever grateful.
