Nashville Veterinary Dermatology

I will call my dog, Rocky#2 as there is also another Chihuahua named Rocky on these reviews. Amanda, Pet Derm Vet, is Amazing. Our sweet 8 year old Chihuahua(Rocky#2) had a severe bacterial skin infection. We kept taking him to our regular vet but Rocky was still suffering. He stayed burrowed under blankets constantly. His skin was red and missing hair. As Amanda explained to us your regular vet knows quite a bit about everything regarding pet conditions but we know Everything about a Pet's Skin Condition. Made Sense! That is what they specialize in! She let us know that our Rocky, Rocky#2, would now be getting the right and adequate about of steroids/antibiotics to totally get rid of his horrible bacterial skin infection. It broke my heart that our Rocky#2 suffered for so long, so needlessly. I did not fully realize how much pain our boy was in. Our regular vet finally told us our dog needed a Vet Dermatologist and that he, himself, just did not know enough about skin conditions to treat our boy.. He recommended us to Nashville Pet Dermatology. I only wish we had taken him to see Amanda sooner! If your dog or cat is suffering from a bad skin problem/condition, please go to Nashville Vetinary Dermatology on Thompson Lane in Nashville. We now have our happy, healthy Rocky#2 back again. Amanda is so Kind and so Smart. She knew she could fix our Rocky#2. She healed our sweet dog. No more patchs of missing hair or constant redness or burrowing under the covers constantly. He is happy & healthy again and his coat looks beautiful now. Thank you so much Amanda. This place is Amazing. They know their stuff and truly care about the animals they treat. Thank you Amanda and all the folks at Nashville Vetinary Dermatology Clinic! You ladies are Amazing! Rocky#2 says Rank-Roo too. ❤️

Great! Office is super clean and staff is incredible. We are new to Nashville and I was worried about finding a dermatologist for my chronic allergy dog. Dr O’Neill is very kind and listens to all of my concerns. She also listens to what I think will work for my dog and takes that into consideration for her treatment plan. Meredith is very polite and welcoming! Happy to have been recommended to NVD and my dog loves it there!

I have had Rocky, a 14 year old shih tzu, for 3 years. He came to me from a horrible and neglectful situation. He had gone untreated for chronic skin allergies and ear infections. Over the three years I have tried everything to help Rocky to no avail. We even considered surgery. Then one day it occurred to me that Nashville Veterinary Specialists must have a dermatologist. My vet referred us and Rocky went to see Dr. Ackerman. It took several visits but Rocky is now a different dog. His skin allergies are under control and his ear infections are manageable now. Rocky is no longer suffering. We owe it all to Dr. Ackerman. I highly recommend her and NVS in general.

Absolutely the BEST!!! Dr. Ackermann and her team, Meredith & Mel, continue to provide excellent care for Emma. Always quick to respond to my (many, many) questions/concerns that come up regarding taking care of Emma's allergies..Thank you for always being there for Emma...

Love Dr. O’Neill! She’s so good with our dogs. She is thoughtful and detailed in her explanation of diagnosis. She knows her stuff and shares it in an understandable way!
