We have been taking our 2 dogs, Murphy and Remmington, to Bowman Animal Clinic for the past 5 years or so. Our experiences there with Dr. Shanna have been nothing but phenomenal. She has always taken extra time and effort to explain costs, weigh in on decisions and to explain all of the results and plan. We often feel like we are her only patients. What patience she has with us… The staff also has always been respectful of our dogs and treated them with nothing but kindness- from the receptionists to the tech and of course Dr. Shanna. My husband and I felt obliged to write a review however based on more recent events. Murph, our Greater Swiss Mt Dog, became suddenly critically ill while our family (my husband, myself and our 2 children) we out of town, actually internationally. Our pet sitter made an urgent appt (which they accommodated) and they delivered life-saving critical care to stabilize him and recommended that he be transferred to the NC state vet hospital. While Murphy was hospitalized, our vetinarian (Dr. Shanna) made daily/regular phone calls to the vet school, spoke with the attending there. This was after she helped guide us with difficult decisions early in the course of events. As we were far from home and didn’t have the privilege of seeing Murphy through this ourselves. She spent time late in the evening on her cell advising us with love and patience. I cannot begin to express what that meant to us. We feel blessed to entrust our precious dogs in the hands of Dr. Shanna and the staff at Bowman. We recommend them all in the highest regard to all of our friends and family.
