We had an emergency today and Dr. a
Schlapp and his team were as to work us in even though they had a bigger emergency just before us with a poor pup who had been hit by a car. They are doing curbside pickup of you let while you wait outside. Although they said there would be a wait when we called ahead to let them know we were coming, the wait was about 5 mins. We were in and out unless than an hour. Dr Schlapp himself came out to the parking lot to give me the prognosis. Although he could have recommended x-rays, he said it wouldn't change his treatment so why add those charges. Including meds
