I first met Dr. Mark Swening when my beloved DeweyB lost his eye. It was a Saturday afternoon at my mother's home 3.5 hours away from DeweyB's regular vet, he was in pain and I was PANICKED. My sister recommended we call Mark. He met us at his clinic and did emergency surgery that evening. It was the first and only time Dewey B had to stay in a hospital overnight. Although Mark was unable to save the eye, Dewey B recovered very nicely.
Recently I adopted Lady. She came to me very ill and emaciated. I took her to 3 different vets in San Antonio. All told me she had heartworms and was not strong enough to survive the treatment. I called Dr. Swening. Once again, he came to my rescue. Lady has indeed survived the treatments and although still recovering, her outlook has greatly improved. I have since taken my other three "babies" (all pugs) to Mark for dental cleanings and senior well care. He is an EXCELLENT doctor, caring individual and overall great guy. With such great care, I am willing to continue driving 3.5 hours one way! If you are anywhere in Central Texas, I HIGHLY suggest you make the trip! read more
