Pennea, Lorraine, DVM - Animal Medical Hospital

06/13/2008 Posted by mbktoo

I have nothing but the highest regard and respect for Dr. Pennea. Over the past 20+ years I have used the services of a number of different vets to help treat my cats who have had a wide variety of medical conditions. Some have been good experencies others have not. Then I discovered Dr. Pennea. She is extremely knowledable, extremely dedicated, and extremely caring. I have absolute trust in her to give me the advice I need to to give my cats the quality of life they deserve. There have been times when I needed to bring one of my babies in for treatment with a critical condition when she was not on duty. Whenever possible I always waited for her input before making a decision. She has even contacted me on her days off to help me give my cats the care and treatment they needed. I can never thank her enough for everything she has done and will continue to do for me and my cats. In a word she is "AWESOME"

Pros: absolute best vet!!!

Cons: none

Great vet. Her genuine love of animals is evident in everything she does. Highly skilled. Dr. Pennea has a unique ability to calm her clients. My cats are quickly purring once she deals with them. My two cats are my babies and I would normally be a very protective, critical mother. But I have absolute faith that they will get the best of care from Dr. Pennea and I feel secure. I hope my cats live a long healthy life and that Dr. Pennea is there to care for them every step of the way.

Pros: Dr. Pennea, Hours, Location

Cons: Price

My 4 year old boxer went to Animal Medical Hospital for three years before I moved to Raleigh. My finace and I recently moved back to Charlotte and adopted another boxer puppy. I recommended that my finace take her to AMH for her first check-up. My finace just called in tears because of the way DVM Lorraine Pennea treated her. She said we would have to rid of our puppy when we have kids and that our 10wk boxer puppy was etrememly aggressive? My four year old boxer is the favorite animal in our neighborhood and our puppy is the same way and receiving the same training. My fiance also mentioned that she did not even have the decency to ask her name, the puppy's name, nor did she introduce herself. I don't care if the place was busy and Lorraine was having the worst day- AMH lost our business.

Pros: Capabilities, Hours

Cons: Rude vet, expensive

Animal Medical Hospital is excellent. Dr. Pennea is wonderful. She has been our vet since our miniature Daschund hurt her back and had to go to the emergency room. Since then she has treated all three daschunds --back surgery, viral infection, allergic reaction to a bite, and a foot biopsy --not to mention the dreaded nail trims. She is excellent, compassionate, and will always do what is best for your pet.

Pros: Easy to get to, Open 24 hours

Cons: can be busy

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about all of the vets and staff at the Animal Medical Hospital. They are incredibly courteous, kind, and willing to answer all your questions. Have boarded there as well and my dog has always come home happy. Recently had to put our 14 year old dog to sleep and they were all so compassionate towards both Max and to our family. Great place!

Pros: knowledgable staff, kind, helpful

Cons: expensive, can get crowded, parking
