I need to clarify that I am reviewing only Dr. Broshkevitch, who is the Chief of Staff at Mountain Shadow. He is the best there is and Mt. Shadow is extremely fortunate to have him. Unlike many vets (or the clinics corporate owners), who view pets and owners as merely generators of revenue, Dr. B. actually cares about your pets health and happiness. He is compassionate and provides the best care, with cost in mind. I am a tough customer: Dr. Broshkevitch is FABULOUS! I drive 1.5 to 2 hours to see him, and it is not an easy ride; but, if my cats are really sick, it is most definitely worth the drive! Several years ago, Dr. B. saved my cat Fluffy, late one night during an emergency visit: even before blood tests, Dr. B. started treating Fluffy for hemolytic disease. The next day, the blood test showed a hemoglobin of only FOUR! Dr. B. used his own cat to give Fluffy a blood transfusion. Since treatment, Fluffy has had a good, healthy life, and we made the switch to Dr. B. When he moved from Loyalsock to Mt. Shadow, I decided it was worth the drive. Since then, he has continued to see all of my cats. Last summer, Charlie was horribly ill on a Friday and there wasnt time to get him to Dr. B. I took him to another local vet and wasted lots of money (and they still wanted to do all kinds of x-rays, etc..that were totally unrelated...) On Monday, Charlie was worse. I got him to Dr. B., who saved his life. More than a week of hospitalization and excellent care from the clinic. Many local cats died from the illness that was going around. Charlie Q. Bear survived! Dr. Broshkevitch is ALWAYS RIGHT! He just has great instincts with cats. Since I have nine rescued cats, I dont have money to waste on senseless posh care; but I actually save money going to Dr. B, because he has great diagnostic skills and his treatments WORK! He treats the animals with compassion and he is fantastic at handling hysterical owners like me. He always tells me what it could be; but he follows it up with what he believes it most likely is and why. He gives me treatment options that will work, and what he thinks is best based on outcome and the extent of my funds. HE IS VERY REASSURING! When he tells me, "I promise, that we will do the best we can to make him well." I know that it is true! I sure do wish that his practice were closer; but he is the best and he gets highest marks from me and my cats!

Truly pleasantly surprised! Fantastic staff, with great demeanor, attentive, neighborly welcoming attitudes. It didnt stop there at the front desk, it was all employees!! Clear to the Veterinarians. Well worth the drive and time. My babies were taken care of, we were treated with respect and so were the pups. The Vet answered all our questions and concerns. All worries were put at ease and any education that was given to us was NOT in a "looking down their nose" way. The waiting room was done in calming colors with amazing photography of animals and a scrap book of their Grand Opening to the present day, sharing their story and commitment to our furry friends and the community. Gourmet doggy cookies were available for sale and of course the little free cookies at the reception desk for the "good patient". Thank you all for your tremendous efforts, tender, caring ways. So great full for all of you and your sincere efforts to provide such a truly great service.

I highly recommend Mountain Shadow Vet. I read the reviews prior to choosing this vet and I can honestly say the review are extremely accurate. My Rottie did not come back home with me she was too ill and I had to leave her go. The vet sat on the floor with me and comforted me during one of the toughest day of my life. Today in the mail I received a sympathy card with my Rottie paw print and a lock of hair- very thoughtful. Although this made me cry I am grateful to have received such a heartfelt sympathy card. Thank you Mountain Shadow Vet. Your compassion and services are much very appreciated

I have been with Mountain Shadow for the past 15 plus years where they have taken care of my 4 cats. There efforts to help all my girls and one boy has been nothing short of great. Dr. Bs tender loving care and great advice on what to do with all of them has given me more years with them than can be expected. I have always relied on them and they have always given 110% of their effort to the care and well being of all my babies. I most hardly recommend that you use their facilities for the care and well being of all your animals.

I love the staff at Mountain Shadow - but unfortunately their boarding facilities are inadequate for most dogs. Dogs are kept in kennel and walked a couple times a day. Cramped and just not very nice. I must say they do their best with what they have. It is clean and the staff is loving and friendly. Im sure they would love a nice big kennel with runs, etc. but they just do not have the room for this. There are better choices for your pets boarding needs.

My experience with Mountain Shadow has been wonderful. A friend convinced me to take my cat, Gari, there for a second opinion after my long time vet suggesting putting her to sleep. Dr. B and the staff have been taking care of her ever since - almost 5 years ago. She has health issues that many rescue animals have, but she is happy and doing well. I would have lost her if I had not taken her to Mountain Shadow. They are life savers.

Dr. B. and the staff at Mountain Shadow has treated 5 of my dogs and each and every visit is a great experience. From cancer, paralyzed vocal chords and arthritis to run of the mill just plain sick each dog was treated well and I left with all of my questions answered. I cannot recommend Mountain Shadow highly enough.. my experiences have all be great.

We have tried other Vets in the area and this place is amazing!! Dr. Maslyn and Dr. B both are compassionate animal lovers who take time to get to know your furbuddy. They have no problem sitting on the floor to play and pet your animal! They are priced comparably to other Vets in the area and provide text and email alerts for appointmemts

They cared for our dog Rocky till his final days, almost 14 years, very considerate and passionate people, Dr. B is the best, we could not have gotten better care or advise without his help, Myself and Elaine are very grateful to Mt. Shadow. If we do decide to get another dog, we will be back. You are all greatly appreciated and loved.

I love taking my Golden in for her check ups. The doctors are willing to spend extra time with you if you have any concerns. The staff is friendly and courteous and truly love the animals. My Gracie appreciates that extra pat on the head. Thank you Mt. Shadow for all you do.

I dont understand the negative reviews. All my animals have received the best care and treatment. The doctors and staff are compassionate and knowledgeable.
