Has a bit of a reputation ditching clients he makes mistakes with. Misdiagnosed our pet without performing any tests. Got a second opinion and sure enough something more serious was wrong. I didn't yell or criticize him only updated him on situation for his notes and was very professional about it. This was last time I heard from the guy. From that point forward he stopped returning calls. After researching other vets in community and emphasizing my concern for this Doctor Shambo at Milton Mobile Animal Care a couple vet techs told me this is his method of operation. In other words he's done this to other people before! Rather tacky and unprofessional in my opinion I was concerned something was wrong with the guy. I'm witnessing a bit of a trend in this county with veterinarians only servicing and respecting their friends. This is very unethical and goes against code of medical ethics which many of these veterinarians took an oath to honor. Nothing moral about it!

We used Dr. Shambow's mobile vet service for several years. (We've moved away, and can no longer use his services.)

He was recommended by our neighbor, who absolutely loves him for all her pets.

Paying a bit extra for a mobile vet is well worth it, especially if you have a pet/type of animal that doesn't "travel" well. The reduced stress for both animals and people is amazing.

As another reviewer noted, you do have to call a number and wait for a return call, but the return call is usually within a day. And yes, for emergencies, you first call the regular number, and then call his pager. But we've had to call the pager several times, and always received a return call for quickly. (We assumed any wait was because Dr. Shambow was in the middle of an appointment, or was driving and couldn't call out immediately--that's how little time we waited.) One evening, I called the regular number and left a slightly frantic message, then called his pager. He returned my call quickly--even though he was on vacation out of town. (And helped resolve our "emergency.")



We highly recommend Dr. Shambow.

We have used Dr. Schambow's vet service for a few years now & have always been satisfied.He was referred to us by a neighbor who is also very happy with his services.

My family has used Richard Schambow's Mobile Vet Service now, for several yrs. We're pleased with his service. When, & if.. we require him to come to the house for one of our animals, we have to call his home number, leave a message, & he calls us back. For animal 911 service after hours.. thats why 4 (Not 5) Stars. If we need him in a Emergency Situation.. We need to leave a message on his home phone, hang up, & dial his pager number. He normally doesn't call back if its after hours, or a holiday. Doc Schambow is our first, & only Mobile Vet Service so, maybe they all are hard to get a hold of, after hours. I wouldn't know..
