Dr Keri was wonderful, gentle and made a super difficult decision a little more comforting. She explained everything from the beginning all the way to bring our sweet gir Nala's ashes home.
Dr. Stern was so compassionate and kind. Her professionalism and empathy made our experience so much easier. The decision to let your family member go in the comfort of their favorite spot at home, surrounded by loved ones is the most precious gift. I would highly recommend Dr. Stern if you are facing this decision, she will walk you through everything to expect and ensure your loved one is comfortable and peaceful.
Our hearts were breaking knowing we had to say goodbye to our sweet Cash boy. We wanted the most peaceful experience possible and Dr. Todd provided just that. There was no time pressure or rush, and we were allowed as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our baby of 14 years. We'll be forever thankful for her patience and kindness.
Dr. Bob was very sweet during a most difficult time. To get my Izzy's ashes and paw print back took about 9 or 10 days, but it was worth it. Beautiful urn and protected paw print. Thank you for taking care of my girl.
The day we met Dr. John Murray was the worst day ever for us. We knew we had to let our beloved girl Ginger go. Dr. Murray was kind, compassionate, calm, and very respectful. It was a very emotional experience, but Ginger was calm and in the comfort of her own home. Nothing will ever take this sadness away, but Dr. Murray made us feel more at ease. Thank you for all your follow-ups and check-ins. Just taking it one day at a time.
First let me say this was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to made, i knew her time was coming but i did not think it was going to happen so unexpectedly. When I got home my poor 16 year old girl could get up anymore had to help her outside she was just miserable. She hates cars so I really did not want to have to take her to an emergency vet at all, I asked for an emergency appointment and Dr. Martin was at my house within an hour. She was the most professional, kind, loving human being I could have ever asked for especially during this time. She walked me through everything sat with us with I cried my eyes out, laughed at our stories etc. it was just the most beautiful and important moment for me and she made it 100 times better. I could not have her job but I’m beyond thankful for her and everything she did for my girl. I would highly recommend her for this especially since it’s the hardest thing pet parents have to do. Again thank you Dr. Taylor Martin for your kindness and generosity during this time for me.
