- "I probably started using the Fulton Animal Hospital soon after it opened. Dr. Delmastro was a caring veterinarian as was her staff. My animals were always treated well and on at least one occasion she came into the hospital on a non-work day to attend to my very sick dog. But we left the Fulton area in 2001 and I then realized what an important role Dr. Delmastro played in my pets' lives. Even though it is a 3-hour round trip to see her, I have continued taking my dogs to her on occasion because I know that she will diagnose the problem and see that my pet returns to good health quickly. And every time I have to do that it's like "returning home."
- "Our experience with Dr. D and the Fulton Animal Hospital over many years has been PERFECT. Dr. D and her staff are professional, caring and compassionate and have cared for our beloved dog as her own."
