Well, I think so. I have had some bad vet experiences with some of my animals so when we met Dr. Eric and found him to be so great with the animals, we just stayed with him. I don't think he's outrageous or anything. I wouldn't be able to afford him. I have two kids in college, a grand baby on the way, one 23 yo old son living at home, we have a business, etc. so we don't have a lot of money.
