He is a wonderful vet and has empathy and compassion. His staff is also very nice. Been going to over 20 years.

I think perhaps it's time for Dr. Schenk to think about retiring. I've been going to him since 2002,my fiance longer (have brought 7 pets to him). Recently we brought our 20 year old cat to him & was met with EXTREME unprofessionalism. He kept repeating questions to us, seemed annoyed when we couldn't provide specific answers to our cats bathroom habits (we have 4 other cats with him) & went into a tirade of (and these are his words) "am I being punked"? Our cat had recently lost a LOT of weight in what seemed overnight,one day you pet him and you feel fat under the skin,the next day bone all the way down to his tail. We had brought him into the office to get a sense of what was wrong with him to know what we were dealing with. Schenk said he was the healthiest 20 yr old he's ever seen and said we needed a dose of reality...we needed a reality check. A week later we got a 2nd opinion (kidney failure) another week later our baby had to be put down. His tirade was UNCALLED for.

One of the most professional and friendly animal hospitals I have ever been too. Dr. Shenk takes the time to talk to you and your pet. I actually drive sixty miles to take my dogs there. The entire staff is caring.

Dr. Shenk and his staff have provided excellent care for my cats over the past 25+ years. I moved to the West Shore over 20 years ago and have changed my own doctors,etc., but won't waver on changing my vet, even if it would be closer/more convenient. Can't say enough good things about them! cl

The staff at Derry Animal Hospital are always very kind and professional. They always go the extra step to provide the very best care for my animal friend. I recommend them most highly.....
