Alexander Werner, DVM

Dr. Werner is very knowledgeable. board certified dermatologist … and he was thorough at our visit and very gentle with my dog. The staff is top notch … and I highly recommend Dr. Werner if your pet is having any skin issues

My Jack Russell terrier has always scratched a little more than most dogs, but a year ago, he started scratching non-​stop and in addition was chewing the pads of his paws until they were red. We had taken him to our family vet practice several times over the last few years to try to get something to help with the itching but the sprays and lotions they prescribed did absolutely nothing to help the situation. I took him to Dr. Werner and he conducted a thorough skin test, determining several severe allergies that my dog has. Over the course of 9 months, we treated him with several medications and medicated baths prescribed by Dr. Werner. We started with heavier doses and then tapered off to a maintenance level after about 6 months. I am happy to say that the itching and chewing is reduced by 95% to a very minimal amount. I am very pleased with the results and I highly recommend Dr. Werner. Although diagnosis and treatment for allergies is not cheap, I am very pleased that my pup no is no longer in agony with constant itching.

Love this place. Brought my dog in for an evaluation after being treated by two other vets who couldn’t properly diagnose her itching. Received some pills and Revolution and within 2 days my baby was as good as new. A little pricy but well worth it.

Our dog was itching, losing hair and smelled terrible. We thought it might be allergies, fleas, hotspots… we tried everything. When none of the normal stuff worked, our vet referred us to Dr. Werner, the «specialist». Dr. Werner prescribed a VERY expensive dog food (that we had to buy from them, of course) and gave us shampoo and a spray and said that she had the equivalent of a yeast infection. If those didn’t work, just keep giving her Benadryl, they said. We kept going back to them to buy the food and the products they said would work.
When she wasn’t getting better, my husband went back with her to see Dr. Werner and admitted that we were adding something to her food because she really didn’t like it that much. He was told that was why she wasn’t getting better and we had to stop giving her anything except that special food.
I was out of town for the past few months and when I returned I was shocked to see how much WORSE she was doing and shed’ lost weight. I looked up pictures on the internet. She looked like the photos of dogs with the MANGE. My husband kept saying «DR. WERNER, the dog dermatologist would have diagnosed the mange». Our poor suffering dog finally has relief. My husband really wanted to believe that Dr. Werner knew what he was doing.
Finally, we took our dog to another vet and sure enough… she has the mange. I can already see the improvement in her now that she is getting the proper treatment.
HOW CAN A DOG DERMATOLOGIST MISS THE MANGE???
Well…he was selling us dog food that cost almost $ 100/​bag. And maybe he sucks.
Yup, I’m going with greedy and sucks. If there was a –100 stars that’s what I would give to this poor excuse for a specialist. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Incorrectly ruled out a condition my dog has, therefore the suggested treatments didn’t work.
When my dog didn’t get better after a couple months, we went to another animal dermatologist for a 2^nd opinion. As suspected, my dog did have the condition and is now undergoing proper treatment with another derm. Just wish I didn’t wait so long to start the right treatment, my dog would have lost less hair.
