12/10/2010 We've been seeing Dr. Boord here for about 3 years now. She is wonderful. Our frenchie has had the skin issues typical of his breed for most of his life. He would get bacterial skin infections several times a year, more and more frequently as he got older, & is also highly flea allergic as we found out after moving close to the beach where they thrive. The flea bites sent him into a severe downward spiral so that our regular vet finally said, you need to see a specialist and recommended Dr. Boord.

I was a bit skeptical at first, having already spent so much money with little results at our regular vet. The per visit fees/medicines are slightly more expensive than our normal vet, but in the long run, going here has actually saved us money. On the first visit Dr. Boord was able to pinpoint why the previous treatment had not worked (wrong abx for the specific bacteria causing the infections) and improvement was pretty immediate. Over the next few months we figured out a medication regimen that has kept our dog's allergies and skin infections under good control for the past 2 years, which means we only need to go in twice a year for checkups and to reevaluate the plan, and the occasional visit to our regular vet.

Dr. Boord is very knowledgeable and takes the conservative route with medicines which I like. But she is not averse to trying different things to make sure that your pet is getting the best & most effective treatment possible. I also like all of the nurses here. They're always friendly and acocommodating.

In all I'm very very happy with the treatment Henri has received here. His quality of life has improved dramatically as he is now almost completely itch free, which means I worry about him less and enjoy having him around more.

4/16/2008 This is where to take your dog if you want to be assured it will receive the best care possible. The doctors listen, they are thorough, and you will know that everything possible is being considered regarding your pet's health.

We got bad news from them last week about our best friend, and the doctor was straightforward with it, and everyone was very nice and made us as comfortable as they could.

Over the years, the care from Animal Dermatology Clinic improved our dog's quality of life immeasurably and I recommend this place if you want the best.

2/22/2008 Dr. Boord is wonderful! Our dachshund had some problems with her ears and after 8 weeks and $$ our normal vet couldn't diagnose the problem. A friend told us we should see a dermatologist...I said "WHAT??...didn't know there were dermatologists for dogs"!! Anyway off we went to Dr. Boord who quickly diagnosed the problem and gave us a plan of attack. I really like that she takes the conservative route!
