Dr. Salvo is hands-down the best veterinarian we've ever had.
We drive a long distance--past plenty of other vets--because we only trust her with our 8-year-old boxer, Maya. Finding Dr. Salvo was a turning point for us--and we actually have our daughter to thank. She discovered Dr. Salvo first and now brings her own dog, Luna (a beautiful brindle mix), for care as well. This is a family-level endorsement.
Unlike other clinics where you feel rushed or pressured, Dr. Salvo schedules ample time for each visit and only sees one dog at a time. It makes a huge difference. She gives you her full attention, answers every question, and never makes you feel like just another appointment on the calendar.
When other vets tried to shame us for not doing knee surgery on our girl, Dr. Salvo did the opposite. She walked us through all the options with empathy and clarity. We had already tried a brace--before we ever saw Dr. Salvo for the first time--and while it helped a lot, Maya still couldn't sit properly. Eventually, we invested in the Hero brace (the one Dr. Salvo originally recommended), and it made all the difference. We 100% recommend it.
Along with the new brace, the targeted exercises and medication she prescribed really worked. Maya is finally sitting and moving with much more comfort and confidence.
Dr. Salvo also trusts us to do our own injections at home, which saves time and stress--especially since I already do injections myself. That level of respect and partnership is rare.
Her clinic is clean, calm, and has a cozy waiting room, though we usually just relax outside before the visit. Whether it's your first dog or your lifelong companion, you'll feel the difference immediately.
Dr. Salvo, thank you for your compassion, your wisdom, and the heart you bring to your work. You've made such a difference in our lives--and in Maya's. We're so grateful for you and lucky to have you as part of this community. read more
