    We lost our Golden at 10 years old, Charlie, and all the staff were so comforting and helpful. The doctor I will never forget! EVER! The most gracious , sympathetic human being. Thank you so much for everything you did to care for our precious puppy.

    We took our dog in for a broken wrist. Dr. Lindamood was very quick in and out. She was so quick that she applied the support stick (tonge depresser) directly on the skin causing an ulcer to the leg. Their careless expediency almost cost my dog his life. When I tried to talk to them they avoided me. Then when they finally decided to have correspondence, they blamed me for not going to my regular vet. Truth of the matter is, if they wrapped the leg properly the additional cost they incurred me never would have happened. Make your decision, if you love your pet take them someplace where they are not a pay check.
