My dog got hit by a car about a month ago, unfortunately, but this hospital has helped us so much! Every single person working here is amazing. Dr Weiner and Dr Berns have been so kind and knowledgeable. All of the technicians, especially Travis and Ally, spent lots of time with Max and I felt comfortable leaving him with them. The physical therapist is now working with him and she is amazing as well. Max should be walking normal in no time!
