Eye Care for Animals - Annapolis Best Gate

Dr. Hyman & her staff have been so amazing with the care of my two elderly schnauzers. They treat us like family and spoil our girls with so much love during their appointments. Highly recommend them for all of your animals eye care needs 💜

Everyone is very professional and friendly. I've taken 4 dogs here and each one was diagnosed quickly and, when possible, treated appropriately. I highly recommend this office for all eye care issues.

The care provided to our fur baby was exemplary, as always. However, when the office stated they would fill the meds on-site, the did not disclose that each of the prescriptions comes with a $24.00 dispensing fee. Had we known, we would have asked for a written script to fill at a pharmacy. Upon checkout, we were offer the opportunity to have our summary printed or emailed, and we chose email to be more eco-friendly. Had we printed and seen that we were charged $57 for 10 pills that at any local pharmacy would fill for $3 for 30 pills, I can't tell you how frustrated we were! Insult to injury is that we had 5 meds filled. $24 x 5 = $120... just in dispensing fees. So, when we got home and checked our email and saw the exorbitant charges for meds, we asked to return them for written scripts, which couldn't be done since they left the building. WOMP WOMP So again, excellent care and I encourage you to take your pet there for the best health care, but beware of having them fill your scripts, because that $24 per med dispensing fee is NOT disclosed prior to dispensing! Check your meds and compare with GoodRx before walking out those doors!

Dr Jennifer Hyman has constantly gone above and beyond for my pets. She is top notch in her field and gives her all to make sure she has done everything possible to ensure your pet is diagnosed and treated correctly. I am so impressed by her dedication and her skill, and would never think of seeing anyone else for the care of my pets and their eyes..you would be wise to do the same. She is the best and your pet deserves that everytime. Thank you Dr Hyman for all you do!!

Began Visits in July 2020 (during Pandemic). On-going visits continue… (recent appointment June 14, 2021) The only reason it’s not at 5 stars is because of lengthy waits once we arrive for appointment and while our dog is being looked at and because of Pandemic, cannot go into facility, yet. Last year not only did we go thru a Pandemic I thought I would ever live through in my lifetime but our dogs eyes began to have serious issues. Prior to escalation of eye issues, she had been rubbing them for quite sometime. During home, primary vet visits we have never been told she has dry eye. Which is a condition for dogs. Maybe cats too! But we had been told to keep watch of her left eye bc it had 3 small ulcers. Upon returning from a trip, hubby calls to inform me daughter and he had to take our Sophia to Emergency Vet in Camden, De because her left eye became very disfigured and red. After visit and receiving steroid medication (warning: should not give to animals!) Her left eye seem to have gotten better. Dr. mentioned ulcers but did not pin point anything further. Just wanted our money! Again, this was at ER in Camden, de. Shortly after, Sophia’s right Eye became infected. Took her to another Delaware vet in Bear. Wow, what a great facility! They checked her and told us her right eye had an Ulcer and would burst at any moment. She needed eye surgery right away or she would lose her eye. It was devastating! They recommended a pet eye vet in Christiana (Newark), De but upon calling them, they would not be able to see her until end of August! Even though this was an emergency! I took it upon myself and began searching for Eye vets online. I found one in Annapolis, the facility I am currently reviewing in case I lost ya! This place is Sophia and our savior! I called them and told them situation. I pleaded Sophia’s case. The receptionist said to email her the situation again and send as many pictures of Sophia’s eyes. I sure did! Two days later, after Dr. Jennifer Hyman reviewed Sophia’s case, we had an appointment. The very next day, she had surgery on her right eye. Turns out she has a rare eye disease. She will eventually lose vision on both eyes. We visit this facility every 3-4 months for Sophia’s eyes to be checked. She is doing wonderfully for the most part. Yes, gradually losing vision but at least she has her eyes. The people at EC4A are amazing from the nurses or aids that come get Sophia to take her into facility, to receptionist and mainly the doctors! Thank you!
