Always friendly and willing to work with your schedule. Recommend if your pet has allergies and hard to treat ear and skin issues.
After about 6 months of chronic skin issues for our cat we were referred to go to a dermatologist. So glad we chose ADC of IN. Immediate improvements. Alayna, the receptionist’s, and Dr. Plowgian are phenomenal. Even if going in on a bad day due to frustration or complete worry, you will smile or laugh in some…
They helped my dog when he needed it the most. My dog thanks you for your services.

After about 6 months of chronic skin issues for our cat we were referred to go to a dermatologist. So glad we chose ADC of IN. Immediate improvements. Alayna, the receptionist’s, and Dr. Plowgian are phenomenal. Even if going in on a bad day due to frustration or complete worry, you will smile or laugh in some capacity. It’s hard when our fur babies can’t speak to us. The ADC of IN is a great backup. Highly recommended. Thank you all for always helping.

Joel, it's heartwarming to know that our services were there for your dog when he needed them. Thank you for your kind review; we'll definitely share your thanks with our team.
We brought our Frenchie, Gus, here after dealing with an ear infection for seven months. We were given an appointment the same week (which I would guess was pure luck!) and made a two hour drive to see if Dr. Plowgian could help us get our boy's ear back on track. Despite never having been to this clinic, Gus was greeted by name when we entered. Everyone was warm and welcoming, and Dr. Plowgian took a significant amount of time to both explain and answer any questions we may have had. It has been a little under a week since we went, and while it is a little too early to say if the treatment is going to work for Gus' ears, I wanted to leave a positive review. We so appreciated the time and care put into our appointment, and we're hopeful with Dr. Plowgian's assistance that we are on track to infection-free ears!
We're so glad to hear that your visit with Gus was a positive one, McKenna. Your feedback about Dr. Plowgian and our team's care means a lot to us. Thank you for taking the time to share!
Highly recommend! Doctor Plowgian spent a great deal of time explaining what could be causing my old Newfies allergies and best ways to help her. He was extremely helpful and thorough. Also, the staff does a remarkable job of follow up, they are also very quick to answer any questions and refill prescriptions. They are all very kind and friendly as well. Thank you!
Strongly recommend this vet derm clinic. Exceptional service. All the staff are friendly, and they answer your phone calls. The vet Dr Plowgian is very knowledgeable and a great communicator. He always takes his time with my dogs issues. He also seems to use very good clinical judgement. My doggo has discoid lupus, which the testing/diagnosis for is expensive and invasive for dogs. He was able to diagnose based on the clinical presentation, and sure enough my doggo has responded well to treatment without having to go through a painful procedure for just a diagnosis. It is a bit more expensive, but I think that’s to be expected with it being a speciality.
The people here are wonderful. We’ve had a great experience working with Brandon, Michael, and Dr. Plowgian over the past couple years while addressing a food allergy for our cat. We have always been shown genuine kindness by the staff and Dr. Plowgian has always taken the time to thoroughly explain things to me and answer all of my questions. The office is highly responsive and really just goes above and beyond.
