I took my daughter's hamster to see Dr. Synder and was so surprised at how much time she took with us. I would have expected such diligence with a dog or cat, but she took almost 45 minutes to discuss what we were doing wrong with the diet and explain what was going on (she was bleeding from her hiney!) and gave us options for what we wanted to do. She talked to my daughter who is 7 like she was a part of the conversation, I was really impressed with that. I think she and my daughter talked more than I did. Usually it seems when you have your kids with you most people ignore them or give you ""that look"". Instead the doctor involved my daughter by asking her questions and really made her feel important. She was so excited when we left and felt like she was responsible for her pet's care for once, what a great lesson! I figured I would let everyone know what a great experience I had. I never even knew a vet would see a hamster but a friend who has a rabbit mentioned that this was where she went. I am so glad, our hamster is doing much better and I look forward to coming back. The staff was also really nice, I could tell by the way they held her they really enjoyed what they do. Major thumbs up for this clinic. I will definately be back.
Pros: involved my daughter in the process
