We were told many great things about Dr. Zeltzman's surgical skills and we were hopeful for an opportunity to bring our dog to him for review for surgery. Unfortunately, the process of getting an appointment has been a challenge with the slow return of response to voicemail messages that were left. We finally got an appointment only to get a reminder less than 2 days before explaining that there is a "white glove" service and we were to drive up to the entrance to the practice and drop our dog off for review/consultation WITHOUT us being able to be present with our dog during that process. Our dogs are our kids... would it be normal for someone to drop their child off in front of a doctor's office and be told to wait in the car and that they'd review your child without them being present? Happy to address this personally with the Vet/practice if it's possible for them to amend this process!

My family cannot express enough gratitude to Dr. Phil Zeltzman for the exceptional care he provided to our beloved Black Lab, Lemieux. 2 years ago, our Lab underwent TPLO surgery on one of her hind legs due to an injury. Dr. Zeltzman's expertise and compassionate approach were evident from the very beginning. He thoroughly explained the procedure and patiently answered all of our questions, alleviating any concerns we had. The surgery was a success and thanks to Dr. Zeltzman's skillful hands and dedicated care, our Lemieux was back to her normal self in no time, running through the woods with boundless energy. Unfortunately, our lab encountered another issue with her other hind leg recently, necessitating another TPLO surgery. Without hesitation we entrusted Dr. Zeltzman to her care once again . True to form, he exceeded our expectations. His professionalism, expertise, and love for animals shone through every step of the process. Today, thanks to Dr. Zeltzman, our lab is back to her old self, enjoying long walks and runs through the woods. We cannot recommend Dr. Zeltzman highly enough to anyone needing orthopedic veterinary care. His passion for his work and the well being of his patients is truly commendable. Thank you Dr. Zeltzman, for giving our Lemieux a new lease on life!

Dr Zeltzman repaired my German Shepherd Harpers left ACL in October of 2023 and also did her right knee the year before. His professionalism and level of care is outstanding. My questions and calls were always answered. The night before surgery he called and explained exactly what was going to take place the next day. Both surgeries went extremely well. Post-surgery and rehab are tough but if you follow his TPLO instructions you will not be disappointed in the results. Harper's back to her normal self.
