Dr. Verbrick is the best vet in Columbia, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. She *knows* about cats.
I began taking my cat to her after a terrible experience with a local vet who doesn't specialize in cats (the Platt Springs Road Animal Clinic). That vet's bad diagnosis actually resulted in one of my cats' death. I shopped around for vets after that, and in my experience the Cat Clinic has the best vets for feline problems, bar none. They understand cat diseases that other vets see rarely or not at all, they understand the importance of cat diet and they routinely treat diseases like giardia that other vets don't recognize or refuse treatment as 'one of those things that just gets better' (it doesn't). Perhaps most importantly, they are willing to work with special needs cats. The fantastic people at the Cat Clinic actually scheduled an after-hours visit for my special needs cat, who can't be around other cats or stressful situations because of a life-threatening health condition. Dr. Verbrink stayed after her normal hours to make sure my cat could have a vet visit that was safe and unstressful for her. I appreciate so much that these vets are willing to give cats the care they deserve. Five stars, and I've become a willing advocate for the Cat Clinic for as long as I live in Columbia! There's no better place in the state for cat-specific care.
Pros: The only true cat specialist in town
Cons: NONE AT ALL!
