My dog was experiencing coughing and spitting up and he was able to put me at ease plus also identify what could be the issue here. Super knowledgeable and great vet! Recommend.

We've had our little Rolo for 9 years and he means the world to us. We didn't know what was wrong with him, but Dr Gary immediately put us at ease. He was so compassionate and after asking us a few questions, realized that we have to take him for a blood-sugar test. Thank you Dr Gary we are truly grateful for your advice!
