My 1 yr. old cat was diagnosed with rhinotracheaitis by another vet he was seeing. The diagnosis was incorrect and for about 4 yrs. I spent a ridiculous amount of money on medicine that he didn't need. The physical discomfort and emotional angst he and I suffered was unreal. When my girlfriend and I moved to NJ in 2009, his condition worsened. He vomited constantly and fell to 5.5 lbs. Dr. Collins ran some tests that came out normal and thus diagnosed him with a polyp. The polyp was so large, it took up most of his throat which was why he vomited. It blocked his gag reflex. Dr. Collins gave me a choice as to which surgery would be best for her to perform. Financially speaking, the more minor of surgeries had to be completed and would still remove the polyp possibly temporarily but maybe permanently. With luck on our side, he hasn't had a relapse in close to 2 yrs. with no sign of the polyp returning. If it weren't for Dr. Collins and her wonderful staff, he wouldn't be alive today. I should've filed a complaint with the other vet, for they shouldn't even be in business today. He is up to 11+ lbs., happy and playful. Even when I bring him in for his annual visits, they hug him, love him and take care of him as if he were one of their own. I would refer them to anyone and everyone. They are an amazing vet. I can't thank them enough. I appreciate them beyond any words I can express.
