Veterinary Associates of Derby

I have used dr schpero as a vet for the past 2 years. My most recent experience can be summed up by stating that if he was an md, I would want him as MY dr.

I just love this vet. we have used him for more than 20 years, and he has been terrific– especially when our dogs got old and needed sophisticated medical management for heart and kidney disease.

i can’t fathom the above ⁷⁄₁₂ review! THAT one really bothers me! Dr Jeff is the most humaine, knowledgable and gentle doctor! he is highly respected by his peers as well! the staff GENUINELY cares! to clarify this fact, he spent one solid hour on the phone on a saturday with a friend of mine (who i referred and was not even a patient of his at the time) counseling her on the handling of the dire situation that her cat was in! he has handled all of my animals for years in good times and bad and i would recommend him completely. completely, indeed!

I give this Dr. and I use the term lightly, one star and that is only because I cant give any less. I was visiting my mom last week and we took her dog Pearl to the vet to have her put to sleep as she was suffering badly from cancer. As if this wasnt difficult enough, my mom had to put up with an attitude from the receptionist to make things even worse. After being ignored by the grumpy receptionist we were finally escorted to a room in the back at 4pm,(we had a 330 appt). I am not going to get into the details of what happened next in case a child reads this, but I will say things were not done humanely. The Dr. had no personality and was very rough with her and his assistant was as dumb as a box of rocks. I think what bothered me more than anything was when the Dr. and later the cranky receptionist offered their condolences. I was disgusted. He doesnt have a caring bone in his body and the receptionist wouldnt even look our way when we walked in, so the offering of their condolences was just a slap in the face. Please, dont ever take your pet here. Not only will your pet be treated badly, you will also.

Excellent animal care. Dr. Schpero and his staff are phenomenal! The building could use a lot of updating but it is clean and adequate. I have been going to this practice with my pets for about 18 years and all of my furrkids have been well cared for and kept healthy. I highly recommend them!
