Great vet. Reasonable prices. Always does what's best for our dogs, rather than pushing uneeded procedures or meds. We have used her for over fifteen years.
Dr. Gorman caused great harm to my precious dog. She prescribed medication that was dangerous for his pre-existing condition and ultimately caused him to lose his hearing, she gave him x-rays that exposed him to dangerous radiation and caused his hair to fall out, she was always in a hurry to get me in and out so she could get the next person in. I suspect it's all about money for Dr. Gorman. When I confronted her about all of this, she told me I can't expect her to check every little thing on my dog. I love my dog so much and he's 13-years-old now. He may just be $$$ to her, but to me, he's a precious animal that has been a faithful companion for many years.
I don't know if the person who wrote the good review about her is a staff member or a friend, but clearly they are not telling the truth. I didn't want to give a one-star rating, but you have to put something. Actually I would give a minus one if that were possible.
Dr. Gorman and staff have been WONDERFUL. We have had such good experiences that we recommended her to my parents when they became uncomfortable with care recommendations for the aging family dog from their own vet.
Our (my fiance and I) dog is a three-year-old rescue bulldog that we adopted at age 2. Being a rescue, we had no way of knowing that she is severely epileptic and prone to cluster seizures. After a large emergency bill, I began to research veterinarians in our area that integrated holistic medicine into their practices, as I am quite familiar with some of the harsh side effects of classic epilepsy medication and I certainly didn't want that kind of life for our dog. We decided to give Dr. Gorman a try and couldn't be happier. With a combination of dietary adjustments, traditional medicine (at lower doses) and herbal supplements, our dog has been seizure and head tremor-free for six months and is as bright, energetic and alert as a puppy.
As for the family dog, Dr. Gorman's recommendations got her eating where she had stopped, responding where she had been lethargic, and alert where she had been unresponsive. Her quality time on this earth was extended by at least ten months. Last month the time came where she had nothing left to give, and Dr. Gorman helped her to peacefully transition out of this world, a comfort for which my broken-hearted family could not be more grateful.
I very enthusiastically recommend Dr. Gorman. We will turn to her for the care of our pets for a very long time to come.
After vet-hopping for the past 8 years, I have FINALLY found a vet I can place all my trust in! Dr. Gorman is a truly benevolent doctor - practicing in ways that are in the animal's best health interests. While it might seem obvious to some, it is NOT obvious to so many other doctors that the 'standards of care' weren't established benevolently.While 'homeopathic' care might feel all new & up-coming, this is exactly how so many 'country' doctors have always practiced. First question from them and from Dr. Gorman - "What kind of food does he get?" First time since leaving the country-side that I heard THAT question!Dr. Gorman spent all the time I needed to have all my questions answered, and to really understand what my dog's problem was. Nice office, really nice staff, very reasonable fees. I am so happy to have found this clinic!
