    I am extremely grateful for the outstanding treatment and supportive care my dog received, a testament to exceptional teamwork and communication. Dr. Walker, your professionalism and consistent updates were truly appreciated throughout this entire process. Given the complexities of my dog's chronic medical conditions, your skill in navigating her treatment was remarkable, further enhanced by your proactive consultation with Dr. Cieplucha regarding MJ’s diabetes. Dr. Walker excelled at keeping me informed at every step – from the initial concerns, through surgery, recovery, and upon the return of the pathology report. His thorough communication and willingness to address all my anxieties, particularly surrounding the surgery, were incredibly reassuring. Thank you for your expertise and dedication.

    Our fur baby's diagnosis came us a huge shock to us. Dr. Cambridge and his team made sure that she received the care she needed quickly, that we had all the information, he was very good at managing our expectations while not giving up on her, and celebrating the wins as they came. Dr. Cambridge and his team were responsive, attentive, understanding and caring. Our Chanel is thriving thanks to them, and that means the world to us. The entire staff that we came in contact with were amazing. We don't have enough words to express our gratitude. Dr. Cambridge stands out for his commitment, knowledge and keeping a sense of humor on a delicate situation. We appreciate how well he tried to manage our expectations while also celebrating Chanel's recovery. Thank you also to the nurses and techs that answered all my texts when Chanel was in surgery/ overnight care. We so appreciate your patience and empathy. We can't say enough good things about everyone who cared for our fur baby:) The level of care, knowledge, empathy, availability , and how quickly we were seen, presented with options, and received necessary care.

    I knew that my English Cream Golden Retriever, Barley, was in good hands for TPLO surgery (both knees) when I found out that Dr Peter Sebestyen was still practicing...as he perfomed Total Hip Replacement for my previous Golden Retriever successfully 18 years ago!
