Thank you for being so helpful, kind and compassionate, taking part of what was such a devastating time for me, (im crying while writing). The card was a sweet surprise, which i will add to Sarges place of honor. I miss my boy so much, his transition was in his bed, at his home, and thats how I wanted to honor my good boy. I will, without hesitation recommend you. Sincerely Josie - Sargents mommy
Wanda was 14 years old. She was such a big part of our family, we couldn’t imagine saying goodbye to her at the vet’s office. Everyone was here with her, including Kiko our 6 year old rescue. Dr John was everything we needed that day. Patient, understanding, compassionate and professional. Thank you to Dr John and Codapet, especially for the questionnaire to help understand if it was time to say goodbye. Wanda runs free now with Mel and Bruiser. Goodbye girl.
We had a great experience with Dr. Randolph. He took care of our baby and made sure we were doing well. He has a calming demeanor and was able to explain everything very well as he was getting things done. He brought our little baby’s ashes back to the house within a week. Overall the service was great. I do not wish we go through anything like this but if we ever do, I will be definitely calling Dr. Randolph for his services.
Very calm and professional. The only thing I was confused about was I was given one price over phone, then it tripled when he wrote up papers.
Where to start... I first talked to Dr. Gibson via text when I found out Cisco's cancer had moved to his lungs. He wasn't ready to go yet, but I wanted to be prepared. At the time I would have described her as compassionate, caring, and kind. I was soon to find out that she is so much more than that. What the Oncologist thought would be a few weeks to a few months turned out to be 9 days. I had already set a tentative date for the 22nd, but after seeing Cisco & the realization that he was holding on for me to get home (I work out of town 13 on, 1 day off) Through tears and a plethora of other emotions I immediately reached out to Dr. Gibson & let her know the situation and that I needed to set my baby boy free. She was amazing, nothing was forced, nothing rushed. She met Cisco, he hobbled over and greeted her, Then he finally laid down on his blanket in the afternoon Sun. He told me it was time. She walked us through everything, paid attention to every detail & went above & beyond what I expected or could have ever hoped for. She gave me nose and pawprints to remember him, I never would have thought of that, a Keychain with his hair, and walked me through even after the fact. She made sure the crematorium got what they needed from me & tomorrow I"ll be going to pick his ashes up. I don't know how Dr. Gibson does it, but she took every hope I had in helping set Cisco free & not only exceeded them, she blew them out of the water. She is amazing & I am blessed to have had her in one of the toughest times in my life. She is an Angel !
Dr. Katie Todd was so unbelievably kind & compassionate. She made an absolutely awful experience as peaceful & supportive as was possible. We are so grateful for her service.
