I brought my cat here at the end of May after she tore her ACL in her knee. She's 11.5 and has arthritis anyway, so my worst fear was that it was the end. Dr Smith was very gentle with her as he examined her, did x-rays, took blood work, etc. He laid it out to me clearly that she was in a lot of pain and what my best case/worst case scenario was. He calmly listened as I held back tears and said that she means the world to me, so please do whatever he can.
It's now the middle of August and she's doing great. She went through 7 rounds of x-ray to help her knee, has been on prednisone for pain, takes a shot every month to help with her cartilage, was switched to Hill's Science J/D to improve her mobility and couldn't be a happier kitty. Some of the treatments were pricey but he never made money off me - in fact multiple times he didn't charge for his own services. It was clear to me that he just wanted to see my cat feel better.
My gratitude goes out to him and his staff (who were all also very helpful and calming). read more
