I have been using Stafford Oaks for the past seven years and feel they are the best in the area. I had taken my two Bichons to different vets in the area and they were overpriced and felt I was just a number. When I visited Stafford Oaks the first time I was met with a friendly front end staff. I filled out the necessary paperwork and they had my previous vets information within minutes. I met with Dr. Heather Puksta and was impressed with her friendliness toward me but mostly to my pets. After a few years of routine checkups and as the babies grew older it became more apparent of just how much she cares for all of her patients. When surgery was needed, she was there to greet us and kept us updated. If needed, she stayed late (way after normal business hours) so we could visit with her and our baby. If services were needed that Stafford Oaks did not provide (eye surgery, rehabilitation etc.) she did the research of the facilities before recommending to us. If I was scared of the what if's she was patient and caring. I now live about three hours away and still use Dr. Puksta and Stafford Oaks. I have yet to find a vet in the area I live in where I feel as safe and secure as I do with Dr. Puksta. I do not live in a rural area where I only have one or two vets to choose from, I live in a city where there are hundreds of vets. Dr. Puksta is now ""fixing"" an issue that a vet in my area failed to fix and fell secure in knowing that the services she recommended has already turned the situation around. I HIGHLY recommend Stafford Oaks. No, I am not an employee, a relative, a paid spokesperson..just a person who has a 15 & 17 year Bichon ( and me) that trust and love Dr. Puksta & the staff!!
