Took our 12 yo Doberman and 1 yo toy poodle mix to Calista Animal Hospital for first visit. Recently moved here from Ohio. My husband and I were so impressed with Dr. Calista's thorough exam of both animals, her knowledge, patience and clear explanations of our dog's issues. I am a retired R.N., before that, worked for a large Veterinary practice as Vet. Ass't. & Receptionist. My husband and I had fostered over 100 dogs and cats in the past, so we are familiar w/ Veterinarians and animal health. Both our dogs were "rescues" - the little one recently from the local Shelter. Although improved, she still had a cough and wheeze after two visits & antibiotic treatments at another LC Vet Clinic. Dr. Calista listened to her throat and chest, located the source of her problem, even let me listen w/ her stethoscope. I was concerned she had a serious heart problem. Dr. Calista assured me that it was the residual of her constant barking while at the Shelter, and would decrease in time.
