Mary, what you describe here is how it 'should' be but often isn't. I never knew what a great vet was until I had occasion to take Bijou to Louisiana Veterinary Referrals. The vet talked with me for a good 20 minutes, with me sitting there holding Bijou in my lap, before even taking a look at her. I had to end up leaving her for the day to have tests ran, but I left knowing she was in very good hands.
