The vets and staff are genuinely concerned about my pet, knowledgeable and offer effective treatment at convenient hours for a reasonable price. They even offered a free first exam to get to know me and my pet without trying to sell me anything. My dog growls at Veterinarians and their staff and I need to muzzle him to make sure he does not make good on his threats. The Vet and the staff did not let that influence their kindness and genuine concern for his welfare. I took my dog, whose ears were fire red and swollen, to Dr. Raj Salwan after my regular vet did a culture, tried 3 topical drugs (total of $350) and the ears kept getting worse. The dog was shaking his head constantly and in great pain. My vet was ready to refer me to a Specialist which would have been very expensive and required me to take time off of a job I just started (due to their limited hours for appointments). The possibility of surgery was also mentioned. Dr. Salwan was able to see me in the evening after work which was so convenient. He stays up on the latest less known treatments for unusually difficult ear problems by sharing information with a large group of other vets from all over the country. They exchange regiments for treatments that have worked extremely well for their patients. I have spoken to 2 other vets who have told me how difficult chronic ear infections are to treat successfully because they return quickly. Dr. Salwan was able to treat my dog's ears in 3 evening visits at an unbelievably low cost compared to what I had been spending (with no results). The pain relief was almost immediate and the swelling and redness cleared up within a few days. Once he cleared the ears up completely, Dr. Salwan gave me a solution to clean the ears and treat them with on a regular basis. The entire course of treatment has been 100% successful. It was like a miracle and I recommend Dr. Salwan and Companion Animal hospital to everyone I meet. An ear infection does not sound like much but the pain was destroying the quality of my dog's life.
