Dr. Pakes was very kind to me. She listened to everything I had to say, all my concerns, and really paid attention to the small details. She gave me advice without any tone of judgement, and answered all my questions clearly. She gave me clear, precise instructions to help my snake and his situation. 10/10, would see again.

I was worried about my cat’s symptoms and questioned if we’d be able to resolve it over a virtual appointment. Dr. Pakes was confident in screening symptoms over the call, and provided helpful advice and solutions. She took the time to answer my questions thoroughly. Thank you Dr. Pakes!
