There are honestly not enough words to describe how grateful we are for Dr. Julia Blackmore.
We were referred to her by our dog's dermatologist and ear specialist in Wellington, and looking back, we feel incredibly lucky that our dog ended up in her care.
In all our lives, we have never met a doctor, whether for an animal or a human, with this level of patience, kindness, compassion, and genuine care. Dr. Blackmore has such a kind heart. From our very first visit, she took her time with us, explained everything thoroughly, walked us through every possibility, answered every question, and made both us and our dog feel comfortable and safe. We never once felt rushed.
What impressed us just as much is her approach to medicine. She is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, yet thoughtful and conservative in the best possible way. She does not rush into procedures or treatments unnecessarily. She wants to understand what is happening, take the appropriate steps, and do what is truly best for the animal.
But what has touched us the most is what happened after our appointment. Dr. Blackmore continued checking on our dog, reviewing the videos we sent her, communicating with us, and helping guide us through everything. That kind of dedication and personal attention is something we have rarely experienced anywhere.
When your dog is going through something frightening and you do not know what is happening, having a doctor like Dr. Blackmore beside you gives you an incredible sense of comfort and confidence. You know that your dog is being cared for by someone who has both the knowledge and the heart to do everything she can for them.
Dr. Blackmore is one of those very rare people you may be fortunate enough to come across once in your life. Anyone whose dog is under her care is incredibly fortunate, and so is their dog.
We will forever be grateful that we were referred to her. Dr. Blackmore is not only an exceptional veterinary neurologist, but an extraordinary human being. We cannot thank her enough for everything she has done and continues to do for our dog and our family. read more
