Knightswood Animal Hospital in NE Philadelphia is the finest, most trustworthy, caring, all-around best vet practice I’ve ever found.
Soon after moving to Philly, I was lucky enough to find them. By chance (if chance really exists), the vet I was assigned to on my first visit was Dr Bob. When you find the perfect vet you know it. His compassion, thoroughness, intelligence and sense of humor is a dream come true for any pet owner.
When Dr Bob first saw my dog she was 11. Due to bad advice from my previous vet she had not been spayed. At that age it’s a dangerous operation, far from routine. Dr Bob saw her through that as well as two subsequent surgeries over the next few years.
He also saw her through her final moments. My poor old girl lived a good long life but finally succumbed to kidney failure. After almost 18 years of constant companionship and unconditional love, I’m devastated without her.
The staff at Knightswood was extremely kind and compassionate during this terrible process. They showed us the utmost respect and concern in every way possible. I will never forget their kindness. Thank you Dr Bob, Dr Reuben, Eileen, Jackie, and the rest of the staff.
Knightswood Animal Hospital is located in NE Phialdelphia near Franklin Mills Mall. Visits can be pricey and the wait in the waiting room for your appointment can be extremely long at times. To me, this is of little consequence. What matters most is the care your furry loved one receives and I’ve never experienced better veterinary care anywhere. Even in my beloved NYC.
