She was extremely kind and compassionate to my sweet old dog. Listened to my concerns and gave me amazing feedback to take to my vet. Wish she could’ve been my vet in person

Dr. Shelly was wonderful. She answered a vast spectrum of questions and helped me brainstorm the best treatment for my cat. I feel that all my concerns were addressed and that she empathized with my frustration. I will definitely see her again.
