My two dogs and I had been clients of Dr. Broderick on and off for the past six years. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude that we were, in that moment, BLESSED, to have found this charming, country-like environment where grace and serenity ruled. I, personally, was going through a most trying time, when my beautiful sheepdog became ill with an angry ear infection that was most painful to her; on that day it was almost unbearable for me to handle one more difficult task, and I was a bit frightened of what may have been wrong with her. When I met Dr. Broderick and his staff I was immediately relieved and put at ease, most of all, by the total calm and compassion that was shown to me. My dog was examined with great care and gentleness and I was so moved by it all. Dr. Broderick displayed most unusual kindness, conveyed vast knowledge that he shared with me regarding what was going on with my dog, and ultimately assured me that all will be well beginning NOW. When I later picked my dog up from a day of treatment that was intense but complete (due to the fact that I was financially unable to afford an overnight stay for her) I was given precise instructions on follow-up care to keep her on the road to complete recovery. Understand for me, that at the end of this particular day, it was the most horrific one in my life. I was distraught and exhausted and most unwilling to bear ONE MORE THING. I got my beautiful dog back and when I went to pay the bill I saw a whole long write-up of what was done to her in treatment of her case. When I looked at the end of the sheet for a grand total I saw the words (written personally) ""Gift from Doc"" I looked at ""Doc"" with utter astonishment, not comprehending right away what that meant. Dr. Broderick just smiled quietly, asked me if I was alright, and told me to just go home, love my children and tend to my dog. When I tearfully asked him why he would ""gift"" all this to me (and a big bag of Cornucopia dog food to boot!), he simply replied with a shrug?Because I can."" Over the course of the next few years, this clinic took care of my two healthy dogs. Always with kindness and exact professionalism. My dogs thrived on Superfood and Phytofood and I must tell you that I am, too -I take these powders daily. I just wanted to express to everyone who has animals they love and care for that there are veterinarians who love and care for them as much as we do, and Dr. Broderick is a most brilliant, shining example of what pure compassion and humanitarianism can look like.
