Willowdale Veterinary Center

Dr. Pote came highly recommended and has never let me down. I would call him something of an old fashion country vet who is pleasant, but focused more on bonding with animals than owners. He doesn’t rely on computers, rather his extensive medical knowledge to care for animals instead. He’s a gift to our region, and I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else!

Dr Pote is very thorough on his exams. He gets us in for emergency appointments same day. He cares deeply for his patients. He handles them lovingly. His prices cant be beat. Top notch and would highly recommend.

We have been taking our Labradoodle to see Dr. Pote for over three years and we have found him to be an excellent veterinarian. He is knowledgeable, kind, gentle, and our "Shadow" loves going to see him for check-ups even though Dr. Pote gives him shots. Of course Dr. Pote has a treat handy for Shadow when he works with him and that might help explain the love. But it also helps explain Dr. Pote's Knowledge of how to care for animals. We look forward to having Dr. Pote care for and "treat" Shadow for many years to come. Oh, Dr. Pote's assistant is great as well.

My wife and I took every pet we have ever had to Dr Pote. He is not only the most dedicated Veterinary Doctor I have ever know, but he truly cares about the well being of the pet, and has gone the extra mile without any concern of any inconvenience to him in any way, shape or form. I recall once where our yellow lab Molly had surgery on her leg by another vet in the area and it became infected. I took her to Dr Pote to look at it for me, and he identified it had become infected. He called the other vet to tell him it needed to be treated, and was told that it would need to wait until the next day. Dr Pote told him "never mind, I will take care of it myself". He immediately operated to clean the infection to save Molly's life, and NEVER held his hand out for payment. He did what he felt nee

Not a good vet for cats!! After moving to PA we took our dogs to Dr Pote and he was great with them. He was NOT so great with cats. He didnt handle my cats in a manner I was comfortable with - a bit aggressive and lacking compassion. Was hoping for a peaceful end for my one cat who suddenly fell ill but he screamed out in pain the last few minutes of his life bc of the injection method Dr Pote decided to use. In the 10 cats ive cared for over the years, Ive never witnessed an animal being euthanized in such a brutal way. It scarred me and I wish my cat didnt suffer in her final moments. Husband debating if to keep the dogs at Willowdale, its a small clinic and good for anxious dogs, but the cats will 100% be switching vets.
