I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Mel and his care team at DCA. We live in Anchorage, and when our Cavalier developed PSOM (“glue ear”) which is common in the breed we found ourself with no Veterinarian services for his specific needs in the state of Alaska. Dr. Mel and his staff at DCA came highly recommended to us and we made the trip to Seattle for his services. CT and bilateral myringotomy was performed and our sweet boy can hear again and feels so much better. We cannot thank you all at DCA enough for helping us in our time of need.

Dr. Mel was very professional and drew everything out on the whiteboard while educating us. He was able to tell us with certainty that our dog's skin condition is related to an endocrine disorder, and not an infection or anything fungal or viral. We appreciated knowing this and we are grateful for his knowledge and expertise. While we did not receive a definitive diagnosis or treatment, we did receive a thorough evaluation with a lot of expertise behind it.

We are so grateful for Dr. Mel and his team at DCA.
