For a veterinary technician of 6 plus years who is no longer practicing the task of finding a veterinarian that not only meets my standards but also is accustomed to giant breeds is extremely difficult. I found Dr. Weldon through the Big Dogs Huge Paws rescue I volunteer for. I have a very special needs Great Dane with some unusual health issues. I was skeptical when I went in for my first visit. Her staff was very friendly and patient with my toddler. Her technician assistant was very nice and compassionate with my dog and even goofed around with my fussy toddler. Dr. Weldon was awesome with my dane. She was very down to earth and informative. She took the time to explain everything to me. I have read many comments about how she recommends tests that are just outlandish and over the top. As a technician who knows about the tests and what they are for I felt she was not making any recommendations that were drastic. She was right in line with what the specialists recommend. Rather than talking over me or not listening Dr. Weldon treated me like a member of her team in figuring out what the best plan of action was to take care of my dog. Thoroughly discussed all options and what she felt was best practice. She gave me multiple options to choose from so that I wasn't breaking the bank. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. She is an amazing veterinarian who truly cares about her patients. If you have giant breeds and need a doc who gets them, quirks and all, she is the best one in the area hands down!
