Animal Dermatology Specialists of Vancouver

I was a bit leery at first due to having some bad experiences with three veterinarian hospitals in this area but to my delight Dr. Charach proved that there are still some honest professionals out here. I was expecting to have our dog subjected to all kinds of blood tests or other cash grab procedures; instead, Dr. Charach outlined a very logical process where only necessary procedures were done and that other procedures would only be necessary pending the outcome of what was prescribed. This is so refreshing compared to the vets in this area where they do a shot gun approach and get you to do all kinds of tests before they give your pet all kinds of treatments. The staff is very friendly and the premises are also very clean. We will definitely be recommending them to our family and friends!

Thanks for helping Stone with his allergies! Goat, fava bean & quinoa are good! Itching has stopped & his eyes are no longer red. Turns out he was allergic to oatmeal as well! Attending an appointment is fun for a Chemistry teacher - hypothesis, controlled experiments etc! No environmental allergies - great news.

The Doctor provided me with lots of very valuable information in regards to dog allergies but nothing in regards to my actual dog himself. I was greeted with super friendly staff and what seemed to be a very empathetic and caring doctor. I was wrong. The consultation was supposed to take approximately an hour to an hour and a half however I was in and out within 35-40 minutes. I did not pay a tremendous amount of money for a doctor to tell me things that I already knew and speak over me the entire time. Whenever I had questions,(which was quite frequent) he would often either dismiss them or repeat himself over and over. My dog has been suffering from allergies for the last 4 years and I was been to so many veterinarians about his condition. Reading all of these reviews had me excited and hopeful to see this dr and finally have my dogs condition addressed. But honestly, It was a waste of my time and the medication given to my dog did absolutely nothing to clear his yeast infection. I went by the drs suggestions for over a month and to be quite honest, I think my dogs allergies got worse.

All in all, I think the doctor is very knowledgeable and can help you if you sit there and nod your head the entire time without asking any questions. Also be prepared for him to speak very fast and just throw information at you without giving you anytime to process anything. The reason I am giving 3 stars is because the staff is very friendly, the clinic is nice and clean, plus I spoke with a different client that seemed to be having some success with this dr. I work in the veterinary field and I have also heard some mixed things about this clinic but hey, you don't need a referral to get in nor do you have to wait very long. I got an appt within the month so if you're in a rush then this is the place for you!

Very knowledgeable and explains fully and in a way that is easy to understand. Although they have had hundreds of patients before me, he explained and answered my questions like they were the first time being asked.
