So great to be able to address worrisome asthma symptoms on a weekend! Dr Valas listened to my history, observed/assessed my cat via video, and prescribed medicine. But not just that she also educated me and provided quite a bit of information regarding my cat’s chronic illnesses with dietary and supplement recommendations too. Invaluable! Thank you Dr Valas!
