Dr. Galleet Khouban is the consummate professional - she is the vet that you want for your furry member of the family. Having a sick pet is one of the most worrisome and stressful positions that a person can be in. During this time, you desire someone who will give your pet their utmost attention, someone who displays the empathy, care, gentle touch, and honesty you would want in a physician that sees you, your friends, or family. These are the qualities that I immediately noticed in Dr. Khouban. I arrived at her vet clinic with 10/10 stress and emotions through the roof as my cat had been urinating blood over the previous week. Right off the bat, she soothed my cat by gently talking to him and softly patting his back, and then made me feel a million times more comfortable by calmly and confidently explaining her plan. After taking my cat, she provided me with updates and intermittent spurts of reassurance and ease. After giving my cat back to me, she went through all her diagnostics and findings in language that I can understand, and made sure that I understood everything and all my options prior to leaving. She offered me opportunities to ask questions and respectfully answered and provided detailed explanations. I felt...a sigh of relief, like I had someone in my corner who would make sure my cat was heading in the right direction. Once home, she even followed up with me and made sure that all my prescriptions were placed appropriately. She also followed up with my cat's progress throughout the next two weeks.
It can sometimes be hard to sense whether a physician is "just doing their job" or if she/he is fulfilling their passion and truly caring for your loved one as if it was their own. With Dr. Khouban, the entire visit felt like the latter. I am truly grateful and will forever go to her for all my animal needs. read more
