Thank you for your interest in Dogwood Veterinary Surgical Care.

“It has been just over three years since the surgery and my dog, Ellie, is happy and healthy. Dr. Benitez is not only an outstanding veterinarian, she truly cares for her patients, as evidenced by her yearly check-ins on Ellie via email. I highly recommend Dr. Benitez.” – Justin M.
“Dr. Benitez was amazing throughout the care of our boxer Curtis. When a mass was spotted on his CT scan, he was sent to surgery. Our surgeon was Dr. Benitez. She spoke with us in great length prior to surgery and made us aware of all the risks and benefits of the surgery. She was extremely patient and kind, as we were very nervous about what they would possibly find. She found a wooden skewer he had eaten the year prior. She was able to surgically remove the adhesions surrounding it without damaging any of his organs. This took great precision on her part. I highly recommend her as a veterinarian. She is an excellent surgeon, and we without a doubt believe she was a crucial part in saving our boy. This was such a unique case that he won the Hambone Award through Nationwide Pet Insurance -this shows how serious his case was. He is thriving and completely healed now. Thank you Dr. Benitez!” – Valerie M.
