Caring and Competent by Kelley H. at InsiderPages
Came home to find my beloved Lab unwilling to eat her dinner (for anyone who has a Lab, you know this is not a good sign), and at the same time realized she had been losing weight a little too fast and drinking alot of water lately. So, dashed her to the nearest vet thinking they will only be open another 15 minutes (5:45pm). Dr. Gary Johnson agreed to see her AND another Lab who had just walked in without an appointment -- and was totally thorough and never made me feel rushed in the least. Turned out my sweet girl is diabetic and had already developed ketoacidosis (potentially fatal) and a secondary case of hepatitis. After careful treatment and monitoring for several consecutive days, my Labby is happy and back to acting like a pup. I feel SO LUCKY and BLESSED to have found this vet -- and practically in my backyard! All of the staff have also been great in assisting me with everything from insulin injections and new diet to applying for financial help through CareCredit.
PROS: Caring, professional, thorough, experienced
