Verified Veterinarian
From the time I could pronounce the word, I wanted to be a veterinarian (around 5 years old) and I never wavered from that goal. I have been a veterinarian for over 35 years and still love every minute of my profession. I never felt being a veterinarian was a career choice, but rather a calling. I have strived to provide the best care possible for my patients, with special attention to reducing their pain and suffering. To this end, I have many years providing home euthanasia for family pets. I have always felt profoundly honored to be chosen by a family to help their beloved pet pass from their suffering to a place where they are free. To do so in the comfort of their own home (or other special place) is so much more dignified and intimate for the patient and their family.

Dr. Noe kindly shepherded us through the most difficult day. It was time to let our dear, sweet little Bailey go. Dr. Noe came exactly on time, met our little doggy and explained to us how we would proceed. She allowed us to hold Bailey as she gave him a sedative. To demonstrate how calm he was she shaved a bit of hair off one paw to make a footprint. After he was very sleepy, she gave him the injection. A few moments later she announced he had earned his wings. To be able to say goodbye to our beloved doggy, at home, with his family around him, under his comfy blanket, was truly a blessing.
As a vet I understand how difficult and awkward euthanasias can be for the vet and staff, but the Dr. made several off color jokes during the process and failed to read the room. My husband and I were suffering immensely and she was joking/loudly talking with our dogs. She was very kind and I know if she was told about this she would be more cognizant in the future.
Doctor No was very compassionate and sympathetic to the situation. She talked me through the process and was very gentle and kind. She also sent a note afterwards, expressing her sympathy on the loss of the dog. This was an unusual situation since my nephew and niece was not available during the last moments she was kind enough to take a paw print so that they would have a memory. I relayed all this to them and they were very happy with her service
Dr. Noe had a very calm and kind disposition. She understood our grief and helped us feel comfortable while saying goodbye to our 16 year old dog. Euthanasia at home was absolutely the best gift we gave our dog - she was able to peacefully pass while being with family, in her own bed, in her own loving home, and even with our cat staying close by. Our dog had no stress during the process whatsoever, just relief. Thank you Dr. Noe.
When we had another cat put to sleep in a hospital it was very clinical. Garfield had an IV and was drugged. This time Dr. Noe made it a very peaceful passing. We were with her the entire time and she was able to be at home until the end. This is the best way for a pet to pass.
It was a great experience. I was glad I didn't have to take my furry friend to a last vet appointment and we could stay cozy at home. Dr. Noe provided every accommodation and made us all feel safe. Thank you for this service and for being so available.
