You know, I have to interject here. I happen to love the vet schools; but if I had an orthopedic case and many other cases I would head to Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists before Texas A&M. One because of the distance, but the other is because of the absolute professional and thorough care that my pups receive at GCVS. I won't go to any ortho surgeon but Dr. Brian Beale at GCVS...he is amazing! GCVS has all of the latest equipment and can do anything A&M can do (and if they could not, they would refer out). And, honestly a couple of the vets I have used many times....I go back to the same ones. I won't see the same people over and over at A&M. So...not always my first choice, nor is it my first suggestion to others.
The OP already has concerns and honestly a good hospital with board certified vets can do the same and sometimes better than a vet school imho. |
