Alex got on the floor with dogs and started talking to them like they were old friends. He did the full exam while sitting on the floor petting and calming them. This Vet Alex truly loves his job!! He explained his reasoning for the meds he chose and how to administer them. The doctors are very experienced and thorough and they explain clearly what they see and recommend. The staff is efficient and kind.
