Dr. Dietrich thoroughly evaluated my cat’s eye issue, both by asking about his history and how he has been doing for the past few days. He answered all of my questions. I feel relieved and am thankful for the time Dr. Dietrich spent with me. Excellent veterinarian!!

Great experience with Dr. Dietrich! He really knew his rabbit stuff, which is impressive, as I find many small animal vets focus heavily on cats and dogs. I appreciated his attention to my concerns and his feedback and solutions. He also collaborated well with my ideas for a plan of care. Really personable!
