Dr. Mills was wonderful! He was so informative & took the time to really make sure we understood everything & answer any question we had. We left feeling at ease (as much as we could have, considering we had to take our pet to the emergency clinic!) The vet tech we saw was very… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
