Very knowledgeable and listens to your problems and concerns and talks with you about treatment options very recommended
Great doctor
Tremendous almost immediate results from the shots in my back. Great advice and gave me an understanding of things going on with my body which I really appreciate. Always worth the trip for me. Thank you, James Posig
He's wonderful
I love the staff and doctors here. They take amazing care of my pets and have always treated them as if they were their own. We see Dr Tammy and she is very helpful with our dogs that have EPI. I just lost my boy unexpectedly and she and some of the staff called and texted me to say how sorry they and let me know they are there if I needed them. Dr Tammy even recommended a support group for people who’ve lost pets she knows of since I had to rush him to the emergency vet and lost him way too soon. I won’t go anywhere else but this office for my fur babies.
Actually I want to rate him 4.5
His a really good dr and is always really friendly
Dr D. Is very gentle and kind with his procedures. Does what he can to prevent discomfort during a procedure. He is a great replacement for Dr. Swanson who was the cream of the crop. However Dr. D is filling his shoes nicely. Thank you Dr. D.
