I rarely leave reviews, except times when I feel the public needs to be informed. The experience we just had at Petco warrants such a post. Read on, and know that my words are 100% truth. Apologies if it is triggering, as it was for us.We came in to have a regular rabies shot. Easy check in, all good, the staff discussed a long term ear infection he has had, and various attempts to remedy it. When it came time for our dog, the assistant was friendly and gracious. The attending veterinarian, Sheila Selznick, was unsmiling and looked as though she was being forced to do the work. I assumed, as the case might be with any incredibly skilled professional, that she was lazer focused and vigilant.Immediately, she attempted to take the dogs temperature in his ears. The sore, infected ears. He began to scream in pain, the whole store looking on. Struggling, two other staff members pinned him down as he wailed in agony. One side to the other, she manhandled the tool inside his tender ears. We tried to console him were firmly informed that we MAY NOT ENTER the area five feet away, where our beloved boy and ESA was suffering.The shot was delivered; he was brought to us, with his ear covered in blood. Shocked, we loved him, as Sheila stated wthout compassion or interest, "It was already bleeding when I opened his ear flap."I promise you, his ears have NEVER bled. I was handed a paper towel, we paid the bill and took him out.This DVM may have long running clients, but as we sit here with a bloodied dog and crying wife, I would NEVER, Ever recommend this person for your pet.Thank you for your time to read, and carry on better informed.

Extremely rude at the pop up vet clinic at Petco….she seemed like she didn’t even wanna touch my puppy. Unpleasant for such a simple easy exchange…hopefully she’s not there next time

I saw her at a pop up vaccination clinic at some pet store, maybe Petsmart. She was extremely rude to her staff and to customers. She yelled at me to back up when my dog was being anxious. I tried to ask her a question about my dog, who has been scratching more often and she told me to see a “real vet”. The entire experience was extremely unpleasant.

This was our first time visiting Dr. Sheila Selznick, she was very pleasant and professional. Explained everything to me very well. I would recommend her.

Dr Selznick has been our vet for many years. She always is available and returns our calls on a timely manner. We have had some emergency situations and she is always there for us. She is very professional, very knowledgeable and always is compassionate. With all the animals she cares for, she always treats our animals with a caring special touch. We are so happy we choose her for our animal "children". We wanted someone special for the special animals in our lives. The Ciabattonis

Dr. Selznick has taken care of my animals for at least thirty years. She has cared for five dogs and one cat over that period of time. She is careful about recommending a procedure if the animal has major health issues. One of my dogs had some major health problems and she was good about helping me during one of her health emergencies. I have recommended her to friend in search of a new vet. I also like the fact that she does not over book appointments. My dogs are not stressed by a waiting room fillef with other animals.

While visiting family in the area, we had our dogs seen by Dr. Selznick. We own two sixty pound border collie mix dogs, with a lot of personality. Dr. Selznick took her time to exam both dogs and update all of their necessary vaccinations. I found her to be both professional and extremely thorough. She was also quite jovial, while commenting on one of our dogs' "slight weight problem". Overall, I felt like we really lucked out having our dogs seen by Dr. Selznick. I will try to make our next visit to the area around the time they need to be seen again!

Rating actually a ZERO! Beware, if you love your pet & want the very best treatment for them, you will want to think twice before coming here. Me & my dog both received poor treatment here. I really should have known better after speaking to her on the phone. It was as though my call was interrupting her day. I guess you could say it was her tone. She offers services for large dogs, so she advertises. When it came time for my dog needing an X ray or Ultrasound, she could not provide the service. We would have to go else where, which is a never visit Fee. But I will say, I'm glad we went else where. I come to find, from our new vet, that my dog suffers from seasonal alopecia something that will go away on its own. Well this woman prescribed antibiotics. I guess it was a quick way to make an extra $30. To top this visit off we felt it necessary to check out a lump my doberman developed. I asked should this be tested/ aspirated with needle. She says, "Oh No" I would have to perform surgery and cut that out, there is nothing to aspirate out of it". Very bizarre answer. Tonight at the new vet they aspirated fluid & ran a test. Thankfully it was nothing. She was overall, very harsh, not people or pet friendly. Not at all knowledgeable, in fact, I'm not even sure she was a real vet to be honest. I felt she rushed us out & was in a hurry for the next victim. Why are people taking there pet here?? I must say though, her vet tech really compensated for her lack of personality. I highly recommend East Suburban Animal Hospital in Export PA. Everyone there treats you and your pet with so much respect. They really care!
