Dewitt Veterinary Medical Center

Dr. Bumgardner and his staff have been such a perfect fit for us! We have had 3 cats in the last 16 years and they have received such down to earth and compassionate care from this office! No oversell and no undersell, just compassionate down to earth diagnosis. The animal's well-being is first and foremost. We are grateful that our search took us to their office when we welcomed our first cat from the SPCA.

Awful. The only emergency vet that is open on the weekends, my dog is at the end of her life, in pain and I call them to get her in, and they are too busy, and want me to go to Cornell. No other advice and when I tried to ask questions, they just hung up. Wow. Im dealing with having to see my best friend in so much pain and you have zero compassion, and are zero help. Sorry my dog needed your help when you were busy. Maybe the person answering the phone should get another job. Totally unbelievable.

I will always, always take my pets to Veterinary Medical Center in an emergency. Whenever one of our pets has needed emergency care, the staff have been not only professional but caring and compassionate. When a pet is in extreme distress, they get them in quickly. Yes, they have to triage sometimes--just like an ER for humans--but the speed of care relates to how busy they are and how dire your pet's situation may be. That said, I have never minded the wait, which I have always felt was reasonable under the circumstances. And once my pets are being treated, they take excellent care of them and do whatever they can to make them comfortable. They also counsel pet owners with kindness regarding the options for their pets, and when we've had to make the choice to tell one of our babies goodbye, the compassion and respectfulness of the staff and doctors has brought me tears of gratitude. As far as the cost, I have always found it reasonable. After all, it costs money to run a 24 hour facility, and frankly, I am willing to pay a premium for the availability of emergency veterinary care when my regular vet is not open. We are lucky to have these folks performing an important service for us pet owners.

Dr. Bumgardner, John, and Debbie were always kind to us, treated us fairly, answered all our questions, charged very generous prices, and, most important, always provided care with compassion to our dog, Seger, and our cat Kenobi. All the way up until the end of his life Segee was often scared of vets, but this clinic always was okay for him, and they treated him with kindness. There needs to be more vets like Dr. Bumgardner in this world. For the rest of my life I will always miss my beloved eternal puppy Seger but also will be happy that Dr. Bumgardner was his vet for most of his life. He was a buff American cocker spaniel and my best friend. 10/23/14 - 1/15/25. Rest easy, sweet boy. I will see you again someday.

This vet office has been the savior to my cats and care for them in the way every cat owner wants for the last four years. They have cared and listened to every need, complaint, worry, concern, etc and have addressed them in the most open and honest ways to ensure the owners know what is needed for their pets. You can tell the staff love pets. First vet I have had in a long time where pet care was about pets and not money. Thank you.

Dr Bumgardner and staff were fantastic!! My puppy needed to have his retained baby teeth pulled and my vet wanted and pushed me to go to Cornell. He is a small dog with a small jaw! Multiple people told me to go see Dr B just to see what he thought. I took him there and immediately knew I could trust him! He told me if he didn’t feel comfortable he wouldn’t say he would do it. Plus you could really tell he has a true love of animals... also he didn’t take my pet out of the room to examine him. He took me with him and made sure all my questions were answered. He never met my puppy and my puppy just adored him and he let him give him tons of love! I will be switching all my pets. And Cornell was going to cost me in the thousands and travel and time off and Dr B was well under even a thousand. He really is there for the pets not your wallet. Also staff were awesome and didn’t feel like you were inconviencing them when asking questions!! You guys are amazing !! Thank you so much and Bishop says thanks too!!

Dr. Baumgartner is the most caring, honest, and fair veterinarian I have ever met or taken my furry babies too! I’ll never forget the first day I went to him my cats loved him and he would talk to them and pet them like they were his pets not just his patient. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with them and have been going to him for 17 years with my 3rd set of pets. Him and his team who have all been very friendly, knowledgeable are worth the travel from Liverpool where I’m surrounded by veterinarians.
