I am just thrilled they can fix it so well and the results are great.
I LOVE your vet and the system he has going on in that office! He sounds like he is johnny on the spot up to date with latest research and care plans, surgeries, and rehab!!! Please share with me who this practice is, so I can make a note and refer this practice to people in your area that may be searching for a great vet! |
