I can't say enough good things about Dr. DeLorenzo and the entire staff at Abingdon Square Veterinary Clinic. She's gentle, compassionate, thorough and more than competent. I live in the neighborhood and my first dog, Rupert, used to make a beeline for Dr. DeLorenzo's anytime we were nearby. Sometimes we'd just stop in to say ""hi"" to Dr. DeLorenzo because he loved her so. When Rupert was 11 1/2 years old, he was diagnosed with oral melanoma that had metastacized to the lungs. Dr. DeLorenzo explained everything in detail and referred us to a veterinary oncologist for treatment. She was incredibly compassionate to both me and Rupert. When there was nothing more they could do for him and Rupert started having seizures, we went to Dr. DeLorenzo for euthanasia. I can't imagine how I could have gotten through that process without a doctor as kind and compassionate as Dr. DeLorenzo. Her demeanor actually made the process, which was heartbreaking, a little easier. After his death, we received a card saying that a donation had been made in Rupert's name to a hospital that treats other dogs with cancer. What a lovely gesture! I've just gotten a new puppy and he's already been to see Dr. DeLorenzo. I know that he'll receive the best care possible with her.
