“Exceptional Care, Compassion, and Understanding
We brought our cat to Cornell University Animal Hospital for an ophthalmic evaluation after discovering a cancerous growth around one of her eyes. She had initially been scheduled for surgery, but upon our arrival, she was carefully reevaluated by Dr. Emma Kobitter.
What impressed us most was the extraordinary amount of time and care Dr. Kobitter gave us. She spent approximately 30–45 minutes patiently explaining the risks, treatment options, and her recommendations. She made sure we fully understood the situation and what we might be facing, while also showing genuine empathy and concern for our cat.
Although surgery remained an option, given our cat’s advanced age and the risks involved, we ultimately decided not to proceed. It was an incredibly difficult decision, but Dr. Kobitter’s thoughtful and compassionate approach gave us the information and confidence we needed to make the decision that felt right for our beloved cat.
We were equally impressed by the entire Cornell Animal Hospital team. From the students and technicians to the doctors, everyone we encountered was professional, caring, compassionate, and sympathetic.
We are extremely grateful to Dr. Kobitter and the entire Cornell team for treating our cat with such kindness and treating us with such understanding during a very difficult time. Their genuine concern and dedication to the well-being of their patients was evident throughout our entire experience.”
