The team at Queen Anne Animal Clinic has cared for our cats since 1998. Doc Stu Spencer is now a honorary member of our family. He has been instrumental in the care and health planning for Chuny and Matisse by offering competent, well-researched, and practical advice in a collaborative way which has made us feel part of the solution, no matter how tough the situation.
Doctor Spencer, the outstanding technicians and humans extraordinaire Katie and Kay, and the always cordial and efficient Jamesy, Melissa and Brandon at the front desk work well together and obviously like each other, and their patients benefit from that ease of communication and sharing of knowledge a great deal.
We recently lost our Siamese 'child', age nineteen and a half. Over the course of the six months leading up to the final outcome, the QAAC team took turns to call on us and offer practical support by refilling prescriptions proactively and juggling appointments with specialists (Thank you, Jemesy and Melissa!). Kay took several hours to teach us to administer fluids and detect signs of breathing distress in the middle of the night, while Katie coordinated emergency care with the Greenlake Hospital quickly and efficiently ensuring, in the end, that Chuny got all the life saving measures that he'd benefit from.
And when the life-saving options were exhausted, final arrangements were made with so much emotional support and warmth that I almost wish they could help us humans plan for the final exit, too. Doc Spencer and Katie came to our home to support us, and Chuny, on the darkest day of our life making the ordeal just a little easier to survive.
We cherish our extended family at the Queen Anne Animal Clinic and we appreciate their extraordinary professionalism. read more
