I especially want to mention Dr. Bedenice who made making a difficult decision easier. She and Dr. Sage kept me well informed throughout the day. Dr. McKinney spoke to me the evening before and to my referring vet well after hours which was also appreciated as was her help in translating during the day when I needed something repeated. A great team.
