If I had to put in short terms, they would be: knowledgeable of new treatment methods, gentle touch, understanding & compassionate nature, and friendly manner.

When we our vet retired a couple of years ago, we had to find a new vet. Dick went in to the one of the clinics close to home and talked to all the vets to get a feel for how they were with animals (never did make it to the second clinic). Since then I think we've seen all four vet and have had nothing but positives from each. The thing I like best is there is never a dumb question or problem.

Our favorite is Dr. Brennan. He worked with us to determine the exact allergy Max has so he's now getting the proper treatment. Max doesn't even mind going to the vet and that's saying something since he doesn't like anybody! Dr. Brennan can even pick him up.

We've had Molly in on an emergency when we couldn't get her to stop vomiting. At 5 lbs (what she was then) that can be critical. One of the vets met us at the clinic within 15 minutes. (turned out to be something she ate - that puppy/baby everything in the mouth trick - cleared up as soon as she got rid of whatever it was).

If I find one of the drugs they prescribe regularly for any of the babies cheaper on the internet - they match the price (with shipping of course). But it still has meant a real big savings a couple of times.

It just seems they have a lot of compassion and that includes the gals in the office. When we had to put Peach to sleep, they respected our privacy and left us alone - told us to take as long as we needed to say goodbye. Gave us a hug when we left.
