Bay Area Veterinary Surgery

I can’t say enough good things about the Bay Beach Vet Staff and Dr. Dassler. I specifically want to commend the check in staff as well as the vet techs. We were referred here by our regular veterinarian after our dog started limping. She ended up needing TPLO surgery. What puts this office above the rest is their patience, thoroughness, efficiency. First, our dog is very reactive and requires a lot of patience just to get in and out the door. This team never acted like it was even an issue, very professional, and were extremely accommodating of her. It’s nerve wracking to put your dog through surgery and this group put our fears at ease by giving us clear and thorough expectations as to what to expect. They are trustworthy and I never felt like I was putting my dog through an unnecessary surgery. I would highly recommend them. Lulu can’t wait to get back to fetching her ball. Thanks a bunch, from Lulu and the Hale family.

Long overdue review, but was looking at my dogs playing outside and am so grateful for Dr. Dassler. Both my dogs tore their CCLs and had TPLO surgeries. Dr. Dassler gave my dogs quality of life back after their surgeries and was great from start to finish of the process. Highly recommend.

Really seems like this place fights you to even be seen. Went back and forth with the receptionist for months trying to explain my situation; she seemed to simply not understand. Instead of scheduling me a consultation so the doctor could talk with me directly and evaluate my dog for himself. She just recommended I just go elsewhere....

The staff are so kind and gentle, they were so loving to my older cat giving him chin rubs and brushed him and we all had a laugh over his goofy lovable nature. They were so compassionate about his arthritis and took such good care of him.

Well this is unfortunate to write because I’m sure the other surgeons are awesome. But Dr Christine Watson was not... my girlfriend brought our pit bull Willow in to see what needed to be done to help our dog... and she knew absolutely nothing. They took our dog to the back and tore her fur off the area and the skin that came with it. The before and after photos are horrendous and our dog is in sooo much pain. She claimed Willow growled at her when she touched it, however I can highly suggest she didn’t. She’s the sweetest dog and Dr Watson kept making comments degrading her as a pit. When you’re tearing skin off who wouldn’t react poorly? It looks ten times worse than it did when we brought her in. We paid over $100 for her to not read our files or give any care about our dog. Now we have to find another place that’ll take her and do her surgery. I do not recommend Dr Watson if you go to this establishment. I suggest the others who are more educated and care even if you have a pit or not. The dog is in enough pain and didn’t deserve to have her skin tore. Below I have posted before and after... ridiculous!!! They should have at least told her they were doing so. Talking about how aggressive pits are yet... look how aggressive she was.

Thre most knowledgeable surgeon, who took an amazing amount of time and care with my Riley. Extremely informative. Wonderful disposition. Staff is very friendly and also knowledgeable. I wouldn't trust my dog with any other orthopedic vet.

Completely disgusting and unprofessional behavior. I was referred to these people SPECIFICALLY because theyre the sister company to P.A.R.C emergency. My dog had ran into the path of excited horses about to be fed, chasing a butterfly. He inevitably received a broken front leg for his decision. PARC was amazing and fast to provide answers. Sadly Bay Area surgery lacks the same motivation and initiative. I called yesterday morning to PARC to have them send over my dogs info to get the ball rolling on a surgery appointment, which PARC said he will need within 4 days from the incident. I literally wasted over 24 hours waiting on these dodo birds to call, it wasnt until 30 hours we received a voicemail stating they dont have the time or doctors to see my service dog whos now been living with a broken arm above the elbow for 3 days. Now he has to go longer so we can possibly find a vet that actually deserves to be in business, And will take a service dog with a serious injury such as ours. Trying to find help in Virginia as a new move is difficult already. But to be turned down from a place you were referred to just simply because they dont have time? They didnt show any care or concern. Pretty much "it is what it is". Didnt help find someone else who could possibly help or anything...Thats laziness and pathetic. Yall could of easily moved the schedule around to do a simple surgery. What a waste of time, energy and my dogs health. Ill be looking into what I am able to do with my lawyer. Hopefully I'll be putting this business under so much litigation, that your grand children will learn to hate my name.
