Dorit and her team are phenomenal. They really helped me and Gizmo out, her passion for animals really shone through and I appreciated her taking the time to answer my questions and provide guidance on things I need to change to better accomodate my dog and his condition.

they called me less than 1/2 day notice to cancel my appointment because the veterinarian was no longer available for my time slot, made no effort to accommodate for a reschedule at a time that was convenient.
