They actually know us very well there. I have had mostly, excellent experiences bringing her into emergency there and also seeing other doctors via regular appointments. Plus, they are only 2 miles away from me.
I am going to go with Karen F. Pastor, DVM, DACVS, she is an orthopedic/soft tissue surgeon and she finished her schooling, internship, etc. in 1996 so she has a lot of experience. Unless my own vet has another recommendation (aside from the woman who moved to Texas), I will schedule an apt. with Dr. Pastor and see what she has to say.
To anyone who is reading this thread: GET PET INSURANCE!! It is totally worth the money and I don't know what I would have done all these years if I didn't have it. |
Awesome...sounds like a great plan! That's great that you have a relationship with them and they are so close! Please keep us posted!!
As to your last paragraph AMEN. I spent SO much money on my pups over the years. I finally got smart and the pups I have now are all insured! Best thing I ever did!
