This specialist group is the specialist group we go to for anything beyond a general vet (Internist, Derm, etc).

They spent over an hour w/ me and Wylie, and ran several tests on his eye during that time (maybe 6 or 7?).

If you are taking your kiddo in for an office visit that doesn't involve all that testing, I don't think it'd be $300.
The vet school is the way to go if you have one close. I have started taking Lady to the ophthalmologists at NC State and it is a lot less than our other ophthalmologist in private practice.
