Metro Cat Hospital is amazing. The front desk staff and vet techs are always friendly and helpful. The veterinarians really care about the cats and about making sure the owners know what is going on. \r

Our first positive experience at Metro Cat Hospital was with Dr. Tubman. I didn't meet him but my husband took one of our cats in for an eye problem. The appointment was on a Saturday. The eye didn't need treatment at the time of the appointment, but if it got worse it would need eye drops. My husband assumed, okay, I'll call Monday if it looks like the cat will need the drops, since the clinic is closed Sunday. The doctor actually gave my husband his email address and said if it got significantly worse on Sunday, email him and he'd come back into the clinic and meet my husband and give him the eye drops, so he wouldn't have to wait until Monday. We loved that he didn't prescribe us something unnecessary, but was so ready to help us obtain the prescription should we need it in the future. \r

Our second cat is a patient of Dr. Kaplan. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kaplan. He is so kind and caring and reassuring. Our second cat had a handful of problems when we brought her home from the shelter, that we did not know about. Dr. Kaplan took the time to explain to us what she needed and what our options were. Several tests needed to be run, and Dr. Kaplan called me personally as soon as each test came back. He really helped ease any anxiety we had about our cat's health. Our new cat is doing wonderfully now. \r

All of the staff at Metro Cat have also been very helpful with advice on how to introduce a second cat into the home. As owners of more than one cat know, getting a second adult cat is not always easy. They provided guidance and reassurance and even had suggestions for products/toys to use but never pushed any purchases on us. \r

As for the costs, the staff pretty much always gave us quotes for what would be done. Yes, it is expensive providing veterinary care to cats. We have cat insurance for our first cat and are in the process of applying for the second cat, so that future issues that come up will hopefully be covered. When choosing a vet, our number priority is the health of our kitties and we know we have chosen the right vet for them.
