Veterinary Dermatology Center

"Excellent attention to our fur babies needs. Remarkable results in a short period. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend."

"I love this place!! They have really helped our dog, Honey who has had extreme allergy issues and an autoimmune disease. Honey is so much more comfortable now. They really care about their patients at the Veterinary Dermatology Center."

"I have NEVER been “dumped” as a client until questioning a treatment that veterinarian Katherine Doerr administered on my dog. Our consultation started out well concerning Biscuit’s allergies and “treating the cause not the symptoms” (her words) with immunotherapy. We had spent the past five years battling his seasonal breakouts/hotspots/bacterial infections with antibiotics, Cytopoint (i.e. CADI) injections, APOQUEL, steroids, topical shampoos, etc. NONE of it was working anymore. We’ve been going to the same vet, Conway Veterinary Hospital (Dr. Robert Porter), for the past 6 years. I’ve also been a foster parent for the Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) shelter for many years. I donate plenty of time and money to animals, even animals that are not mine, so that’s not my issue here. It’s the principle. We came here because Cytopoint injections and antibiotics were no longer working, which I was very clear about, both in writing and verbally. So what’s the first thing veterinarian Katherine Doerr did when Biscuit had his first seasonal breakout? Cytopoint injection. Yep, the thing I told her stopped working years ago. It did absolutely nothing to help him, and instead of paying $80 at my regular vet, we were charged over $600 for a useless shot and more tests to determine which antibiotic would clear his skin. A test she had ALREADY RUN ONCE, sending us home with antibiotic that did nothing. We were charged again for the SAME test and given NO antibiotic. When I questioned her methods, rather than offering a remedy, I got a letter stating that she no longer wanted to work with us. So, if you want a vet that doesn’t listen to or respect her clients, veterinarian Katherine Doerr is for you. As for the Veterinary Dermatology Center in general, my only experience prior to this was when our dog Abe had what we thought might be a bad inner ear infection. When we tried going here, ALL of the vets were at some dumb conference for two weeks. We couldn’t wait that long, so we drove him to the one in Tampa. They were performing tests while he was under anesthesia, and he aspirated, so I’m sure you can guess how that ended. Shame on me for giving them a second chance I guess."

"I love this practice! They treat my cat Mako like he is their own. When I send an email and ask a million questions, they always follow up with a phone call in a timely manner. Mako’s skin issues have drastically improved since coming here. They don’t try to get me to bring him in every time I have a question about a new rash. They will try to assist first without needing to stress him out with another visit. I truly appreciate all of the employees at this practice and I cannot thank them enough for their help."

"Dr. Marcia Schwassmann has saved my boy Bo from a life of torture . She is awesome his skin has improved 1000 % I highly recommend this place . I drive from Clermont to go here. donot hesitate taking your loved one here . Joel ......"
