Wiekamp D Michael DVM Ms

I called A Mobile Vet because my cat needed his ears cleaned and his claws clipped. I explained to Dr. Wiekamp that I wanted to spare my 19 yr. old kitty the trauma of a trip to the vet because he is so frail; he is arthritic and has weakened muscles.
All of the mobile vets I used in the Bay area came inside the house to treat my cats. When Dr. Wiekamp came to the door, he scooped up the cat and rushed him downstairs to his van. I was not allowed to go with them. When they returned a half hour later, my cat could barely walk. His two hind legs were bent and one was almost dragging. He immediately threw up all over the house. When I asked Dr. Wiekamp what happened in the van, and what did he do to my cat, he replied, «Well, it’s an old cat, and I had to hold him down somehow so I could do the procedures.» It was obvious he had hurt my cat, who didn’t eat for 2 days after that.

I have had pets for over 30 years, and this was the worst veterinarian incident I have ever experienced.

I had a great experience! My kitty was limping and I hate having to put her in her carrier because she gets so stressed so I tried out Dr.Wiekamp. He was able see her the same day. He came on time but I wouldn’t care if he was late because I’d rather be waiting at home then at some vet office. Dr. Wiekamp had great cat side manners and my kitties seemed comfortable in his presence. He did a thorough exam and treated my kitty. Very happy to have found a great vet that does house calls!

I am very please with the doctors services. First it’s completely convenient second my two dogs didn’t feel nervous or scared after a car ride to the vet office then a waiting area with other unknown animals. He was pleasant calm and to the point. Which I appreciate. My dogs had no anxiety before, during or after. I adore my pooches and so long as I can afford this route this is the way I choose to go. Thanks you Doc. Happy doggies

Great Vet, Loves his patients. But, word got out and he’s really busy. Call ahead. (I hope he’s on vacation and not retired. I left word a few days ago)

Where do we begin… The BEST! He has been caring for our pets over the last 7+ years and we could not be happier or more confident with his abilities & knowledge. A wonderful clinician & skilled surgeon describes only a part of Dr. Wiekamp. Reasonably priced, no gouging or scary vet-​speak here, he speaks in a «language» we understand, frankly yet compassionately. His greatest asset, HE LISTENS! He offers options (when available) & supports your decision once made. He kept Harley, our 13 yr old Golden comfortable until Harley was ready to go. A spay/​neuter was the extent of our pets surgical needs until Jake injured his cranial cruciate ligament. Expecting a referral, we were not only pleased this was a surgery Dr. Wiekamp was familiar with & had performed on many occasions with great success but surgery took place just a few yards from our front door in his well equipped & modern mobile hospital; his surgical skills evident — Jake made a full recovery & is back to running like the wind! Scout, he was a tough one, taken too soon. Dr. Wiekamp’s state of the art mobile hospital not only provided Scout with the necessary equipment, transfusions etc but a familiar & loving environment. We did not worry that his care would be in the hands of the «next available» technician as is commonplace in «traditional» facilities. Not only was a treatment plan discussed & ultimately executed, the gravity of the situation was explained with the real possibility that things could rapidly change for the worse; we KNEW if that scenario presented itself Scout’s best chance was with his very knowledgeable & competent veterinarian, no lag time communicating from person to person, Dr. Wiekamp would be on it & taking action. The only thing better than being hospitalized in his mobile facility was that Scout spent the day with not only his vet but someone who had known him since he was rescued & loved him. Thanks to Dr. Wiekamp he came home that night & we were able to share one more amazing day with him. His loss was difficult for everyone, including Dr. Wiekamp. Our other dogs are a bit skittish, Dr Wiekamp is patient with them & takes their constant barking at him in stride & with a chuckle. Conversely, our new puppy Finley, thinks he’s a rockstar & happily joined him in his mobile office for his first exam & vx — it concluded with a pat on the head & a familiar smile. Dr. Wiekamp’s smile leaves no question as to why he is a veterinarian! We can’t imagine the care of our pets on anyone else’s hands.

We love Dr. Wiekamp!!! We were given Dr. Wiekamp’s name to come and help us peacefully say goodbye to our beloved Boston Terrier, Sadie, who has had cancer for almost 10 years. I asked Dr. Wiekamp to please check her and give his opinion before sending her to heaven. He came to our home, was not chatty but not overly quiet either. He listened to us, asked us questions and examined our sweetest angel, Sadie. Upon his examination, he said her lymphoma was full blown but that we do have a choice. He did not make any guarantees or promises but we could try a few prescriptions to help her. We of course opted to save her and agreed to the medication therapy rather than a surgery (another vet’s option) which would be too hard on her. Exactly one week later our Sadie is doing FANTASTIC!!! She is not healed and it is not forever but she is happy, walking, eating and even met me at the door with today with her favorite toy! THANK YOU DR. WIEKAMP!!!
P. S. Didn’t even mention that the visit to our home and all 3 prescriptions totaled $ 133.10! Better care and less expensive than taking her to our usual vet in San Clemente where we live!!!

Dr. Weikamp has been our vet for Charlie, our dog, ever since we’ve had him 10 years now. Charlie came from an abusive home, so when it comes to being groomed, he would bite and snarl at the groomer. Thank god for Dr Weikamp, because he’s the only one who can successfully shave him. Anyways this review is about the incident 2 years ago when our poor charlie was attacked by a coyote on Xmas Eve. Barely breathing, and had punctured neck, along with deep scratches, Dr Weikamp (mind you it was on Xmas holiday, took charlie in his home, after giving him a tracheotomy (so he could breathe), and kept him safe to recover at his own home for a week. Charlie grew to love him, sitting on his lap while he was there. He most definitely saved his life.
He is very straight forward, which I love, no beating around the bush. He will tell you what you need to hear, and take care of the situation– no half assing.
Thank you Dr Weikamp. I feel relief when he has charlie bc I know he will be taken care of.

DR. WIEKAMP SAVED YODI’S LIFE.
Our eleven year old pet dog Yodi had become listless and lethargic and was looking like it might be time. My wife was distraught. We had taken her to our family vet and after many tests his only option to us was major surgery and no guarantees. With no other option we figured it wouldn’t hurt to get a second opinion. DR. Wiekamp arrived on time and proceed to look at Yodi. After informing DR. Wiekamp of the prior vet’s diagnosis he asked to see the ex-​ray film that we received from the prior vet. DR. Wiekamp immediately detected an issue in the X-Ray’s that the prior vet didn’t. DR. Wiekamp at that point prescribed medication. I had my doubts but a week later she was jumping around like a two year old dog. We were in disbelieve. That was four years ago and Yodi is showing her age but is still with us. Dr. Wiekamp is and always will be our veterinarian.
Thank you very very much DR. Wiekamp

Dr Wiekamp is the vet for both my Bernese mountain dog and my schnozzle rescue dog. Today he went above and beyond to help me with my kids pet chicken. The chicken wasn’t doing well and try to find a chicken vet in the OC. We thought she was egg bound but we didn’t know. Dr Wiekamp came out and was wonderful with this bird. He is very professional, straight forward and knowledgeable. If you ask him a question you get an answer. Not maybe what you want to hear but the truth. No sugar coating here. Reminds me of John Wayne. Would have made a good equine vet. No upsell or pushes to get you to buy stuff you don’t need. Is always on time and as a benefit he COMES TO YOUR HOUSE!!! His office visit is cheaper than my old vet and I had to get the sick animal to him. He has done a surgical procedure on one of my dogs in his mobile unit that is extremely clean. I checked I am a nurse and wanted to make sure of the sterile environment. I highly recommend this vet for ALL your animals. If he can’t do it he will refer you. So far he is great with dogs, cats, chickens, my daughter does have a horse and donkey hmmmm…

We had this guy come to our home to put our dear 11 year old Doberman down. He arrived on time and did say hello to Capone, my Dobie but that was it. Didn’t take an extra second to even pet him. Didn’t say two words to me except do you want to pay now or after. I was already affected by his stiffness and coldness. While he prepared the medicine we spent our last moments with our baby. He then walks in the door and sticks my dog with the needle causing my dog to Unilocal and leap forward. My dog slipped on the hardwood floors. We had to pull my dog back to the blanket. He was quite shaken. This jerk didn’t even tell us to hold the dog, have him lay down, anything to keep him from leaping away. The most emotion was a cold «my condolences.» I felt anger towrds him but didn’t say anything to my girlfriend as I didn’t want to upset her further. Turns out she was even more upset by Dr. Wiekamps coldness to use and our dog as well as the harsh way he administered the injection (he absolutely should have given us notice he was about to do it and advise us to hold our dog.) He made it hard for me but I am so angry with him because he affected my girlfriend significantly. She is a critical care ICU nurse. If anyone is used to these type of medical situations it is her. To have her this upset about the way he handled the whole procedure says alot. There are tons of other vets and plenty of mobile vets. Do yourself a favor pick someone else.

Dr. Wiekamp was a professional in every sense of the word. He was very good with my dog who can be temperamental. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a mobile vet
