Dr. Verbrick would be my doctor if only she saw people (and I won't go to a doctor.) She respects her patients and sees them as individuals. She is a straight-shooter: she'll tell you if your cat has a problem she can fix vs. one she can't. My cats have had both. My four 15+ year old cats have gone to her for years and years, and she did everything possible to keep them comfortable as each developed cancer (she kept them alive through the thyroid problems and all the other fixable illnesses they had) and eventually passed away. She has cried with me over their deaths. Yes, she's human and may seem impatient sometimes-- but she ALWAYS has the best interest of your cat as her primary concern. She is a wonderful lady and the best cat vet I have ever met. Also remember that before your visit she may have had to deal with someone who doesn't take good care of a cat, or had to euthanize a long-time patient-- how hard would that be to a true animal lover? If you love your cat and want the best possible care, please see Dr. Verbrick. I have 2 new kittens and they will never go anywhere else, and I desperately hope she keeps practicing for their entire lives.
