    Post-surgical Day 2
    Julie L.

    After a few months of ups and downs with Micah, Dr. Elliott finally recommended surgical biopsies of most of his major organs to find the origin of what was going on. Thankfully, the surgery was "unremarkable" other than some inflammation, a sigh of relief for this dog-mom. Due to Micah's frequent vomiting/diarrhea, Dr. Elliott recommended that he begin on a life-course of steroid medications for IBD/IBS. Something in my gut cautioned me against this solution and I reached out to a holistic vet for evaluation. After one year now of putting Micah on a raw food diet, I can tell you that Micah's labs are 100% perfect. They actually resolved to perfect within 90 days of his raw food diet. I'm so glad that I trusted my gut. He has minor and infrequent GI upset (like once every 3-4 months) and is doing perfectly. For my little guy, the raw food diet worked and he doesn't have to be on medicine for the rest of his life. I'm sure this is the exception more than the rule, but I want other dog parents to know that this is a solution, if you can afford it. I also want to leave a shout out to the fantastic surgeon, Dr. Su and her staff. I'm attaching pictures of the progression of how well Micah's surgical site healed. My only regret is that I let this surgery happen. Don't wait like I did. Take your pup to the holistic vet first if something in your gut says there's another way. Just to be clear, I in no way think that Dr. Elliott did anything wrong. He offered a diagnosis and set a course of treatment. I'm just happy that there was a different solution for my pup and that we have a happy ending.

    I cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are for the Sunstone team. Dr. Klaser is Dakota's amazing internal medicine specialist and Dr. Su is her great surgeon. Before reaching Sunstone Dakota was suddenly very ill. Her regular vet had theories, the docs on the morning shift at the emergency hospital had one theory, the doc on the afternoon shift had others, plus all kinds of catastrophic sounding finding from the ultrasound doc... it was with this huge amount of conflicting opinions and reams of tests that we arrived at Sunstone and consulted with Sunstone's wonderful internal medicine specialist Dr. Klaser. Dr. Klaser and her team took in all the records and images we had and did the most in-depth history and physical we'd ever experienced. Dr. Klaser helped us narrow down Dakota's primary issue and held a slot on Dr. Su's surgery schedule. Dakota had surgery and has since recovered very well. Communication during surgery was fantastic. We always felt very well informed. Dakota is back to feeling good and enjoying her golden years! Thank you!

    Dr. Lillian Su, DVM

    Are the visits & treatments affordable?

    I found their pricing in line with other specialty veterinary practices. I compared pricing between them and Northwest Veterinary Specialists and they were comparable, except this clinic is closer to home than going out to Clackamas, so I chose them.

    Montavilla, Southeast Portland

    The absolute best!!…read more Our cat was being barfy and not eating, and we were able to get an appt within two hours. Every staff member we interacted with was an angel, and Dr. Cindy explained everything in an accessible way. The pricing was super transparent, and there was no subtle shaming like you sometimes encounter at big chain vet clinics if you decide to decline some more expensive treatments. Thankfully, Beanie was okay- she got labs done, some fluid for dehydration, anti-nausea meds, and some appetite stimulant. The bill was a hair over $500, but could have easily been under $200 if I had declined the labs. (I was just paranoid, and don't regret having the peace of mind!) All in all, I hope to never have a pet emergency again- but if we do, Sadie's will be our first call. (And I'd rather keep my money in the neighborhood, and going to an independent clinic!)

    i can't say enough good things about the team at sadie…read more when you're dealing with a pet's illness - especially one that's somewhat mysterious - it's easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless, but the folks at sadie showed us that they have the knowledge, processes, and caring perspective to help move through it and do what's best for your pet. every single staff member we encountered was professional, patient, and empathetic, and their collaborative workflow made it easy for us to focus on our pet's needs and to make the best decisions about how to best meet them. they were unwaveringly caring but also matter-of-fact about our options, and they offered clear verbal, written, and electronic communication that enabled us to confidently offer our cat supportive and thorough after-care at home. and even during this busy end-of-year time when they - themselves - were going to be taking a well-deserved day off for new year's, they were thinking several steps ahead of us and proactively sharing advice on what to do/where to seek appropriate help if needed while they were closed and making sure to share our little guy's electronic clinical records with us just in case we needed to visit a provider unfamiliar with him and his history. i hope you'll never have to take your pet to an urgent care veterinarian, but if you do, you'll be in good hands at sadie. ‍

I don't see this as being very professional or having good bedside manner when someone is having to contemplate one of the hardest decisions you make as a pet owner. I found it very insensitive and crass. We made sure payment was taken care of before we had to let our boy go and immediately left the office afterwards and didn't ask about details on when/how we would get his remains back. A week later I reached out to the office to clarify how the process works and whoever answered the phone at the desk just seemed incredibly annoyed and short with me calling in with questions. The tone and manner that was used speaking to this employee definitely had me taken aback. Why work in an industry like this if you're going to talk to people like that who have just suffered a terrible loss in lives at your business? Needless to say, our future pets will not be seen at this clinic and I will never recommend them to anyone in the future.
