Dr. De Sanctis is fantastic. Our mastiff is a very difficult patient—with her fearful aggression, taking her to the vets office is usually a nightmare. This time, with the pandemic, we were really not looking forward to it. Instead, we decided to try Vet at Home, and it was worth every penny not to load our big girl into the car and deal with the usual stress that comes with getting her vaccinations. Dr. De Sanctis was wonderful and understanding with our big pup, and she worked with us to make it the least stressful vet experience we and our dog have ever had! We are so thankful and will continue to get Lilo’s shots and check ups this way from here on out. I would recommend Dr. De Sanctis to everyone, especially anyone with a difficult, fearful, or misunderstood pet!

Franco, the owner of Senti restaurant, recommended Dr. DeSanctis to me after I told him that my dog was experiencing serious health problems that no doctor could correctly diagnose over the course of her lifetime. After only 3 visits, Dr. DeSanctis was able to diagnose a life long health problem in Maggie that no one else could put their finger on. After the diagnosis, Maggie’s quality of life immediately improved to the point where she was acting as if she was a puppy again. Going to the doctor induced a great deal of anxiety for both Maggie and me. Dr. DeSanctis was kind, loving, and accommodating by taking the time to visit both us at home to help Maggie sort out her problems. I highly recommend Dr. DeSanctis to anyone who loves their pet!

I am a cat owner who met Dr. DeSanctis more than 10 years ago during an anxious visit to find the cause of Pierre’s hair loss and skin sores. I was extremely protective of Pierre, and needed to know that anyone I handed him over to cared for cats, and in some way cared about MY cat; Dr. DeSanctis was this person. We all had an immediate bond. Throughout his life (lives), we made sure Pierre always saw Dr. D no matter what practice she graced with her sincerity, and professional compassion. During Pierre’s last days, Dr. DeSanctis was the most valuable asset we had to trust and depend on. Thanks to her and the new mobile veterinary services, we were able to improve Pierre’s quality of life (and death) by avoiding travel trauma. When his time came, Dr. DeSanctis guided us through a humane euthanasia process and Pierre was able to pass, in peace, at home. It wasn’t easy but I cannot express enough how much this service saved all of us. Thank you Angelina.

Dr. DeSanctis has provided outstanding treatment and care to my two cats (Koty and Smokey) over the past 8 years. Dr. DeSanctis is highly professional, personable, patient, and always answered all of my questions. I cannot say enough good things about her! I am very thankful to have found such a compassionate veterinarian. I highly recommend her for all your veterinary care.

Dr. DeSanctis is everything I want in a vet. I originally went to her due to one of my cats developing a limp that worried me. From that first visit she was truly concerned with Bandit's comfort and well being. She gave him chin scratches while gently examining his injury. She determined there was nothing broken, but when I continued to worry she ordered an X-ray to put my mind at ease. Dr. DeSanctis is knowledgeable, caring, and honest. She truly cares about her furry patients and their owners. I highly recommend her and my cats give her a rating of 7 head-butts!

Dr. DeSanctis has been nothing but professional when it comes to my veterinary needs. She goes above and beyond the norm to make sure that my dog is not only physically healthy, but mentally strong as well. She is knowledgable in almost every facet of my pets livelihood, and has recommended great products, resources and training tips as well. The advice she has given on how to be a better parent is outstanding, and she truly cares about both the animal patient and the human patient! Dr. DeSanctis is the vet you need to see for your animals health and well being.

Dr. Angelina's level of professionalism and compassion toward the care of our dogs has only been outdone by her compassion toward us. She listens to our concerns and indulges us as we provide to her our diagnosis before she gives us a best laid out plan for care. No matter what we think is best for our dogs, Angelina is our first call.

I moved to Pittsburgh from Boston over fifteen years ago and I brought my first Chihuahua, Will, with me. Will's veterinarians in Boston were incredible: warm, loving, and first rate. My hope was that I could duplicate this combination in Pittsburgh. My concerns quickly dissipated when I met Doctor DeSanctis. From the moment Will met his new doctor, he felt comfortable and safe. Dogs have a way of knowing who they can trust, even when they have to receive a shot, but Will never flinched. Doctor DeSanctis stood by me and Will at the end of his 17 year life--her compassion helped me get through one of the most traumatic days of my life. Less than five months later I knew I needed to have a dog back in my life so I found another Chihuahua, Little Bunny. I brought him home at twelve weeks and introduced him to Doctor DeSanctis, the person who would be addressing his medical needs. Little Bunny was less than two pounds when he met Doctor DeSanctis and it was his first time being in a clinical environment. Once again, my little puppy felt comfortable and secure with Doctor DeSanctis even though he had to receive a series of shots. Now Little Bunny is four years and he still loves his doctor. Many doctors have gone to the "best schools," but not all doctors have a bed-side manner or a connection with their patients like Doctor DeSanctis does.

Dr. Angelina DeSanctis has been our veterinarian for 9 years. We love her, and so does our dog Snickers. Dr. DeSanctis treats us like family, and our dog as if she were her own. During appointments, we never feel that Dr. DeSanctis is trying to rush us. She answers all our questions and explains everything very clearly. She takes a common sense approach to our dog's issues and has never ordered unnecesssary tests. We trust her completely with the welfare of our dog, and are very excited that she will now be making "house calls".

Buster my dog, has been a regular patient of Dr. DeSanctis. She is a hero to me, Buster, and every pet she cares for. She makes me want to be better, learn more, and do better for Buster, also for all animals every day. It's hard to explain the impact she has had on me and Buster, I will be every day grateful to Dr. DeSanctis to be in our life.

Dr. DeSanctis cares for my Siberian Forest Cat. As might be expected of a graduate of the finest school of veterinary medicine in the country, her diagnostic skills are outstanding! In addition, she possesses extensive knowledge of felines. She is an animal lover, and this is reflected in the quality of the compassionate care which she delivers. In addition she does an excellent job of educating the owners of the animals for which she cares. Of the veterinarians who have cared for my pets over the years, I would rate Dr. DeSanctis the best.

Dr. DeSanctis is an amazing veterinarian. She has a way of gaining trust with ease from animals and their humans too. Dr. D always listened to our concerns which is sometimes hard to find. We have a fearful dog who can sometimes be difficult to get near, let alone examine. Dr. D didn't have any problems. She was patient and kind. If you are looking for a veterinarian who will always put your furbaby first, look no further...you have found her.
