I felt very reassured leaving my appointment knowing i'm doing all that I can for my mare :) Dr. Durkin Cachero took a lot of time to explain her recommendations and I left the appointment feeling like I gained a lot of knowledge. Would highly recommend!

Booked an appointment to try and see if I can get my cat with lymphoma getting better for however long I have left with him. Left feeling hopeful that there was a little more I could do for him. I was looking for supplements to increase his quality of life. She offered b12 and a different form of the steroids we were on that would be easier to administer. She gave a virtual exam which was more than others have done for him and gave treatment options. I'm confident he will be feeling better shortly because of the care we received at our appointment. Thank you!

It went very well considering the limitations of telemed diagnosis. Problem was resolved and the pup is just fine. I am sure we will use Dr. Cachero again.
