This review is for Dr. B (veterinary dental specialist) and Dr. Schelling (Board Certified Veterinary Radiologist) over at VRC only. I absolutely love Dr. B and want everyone to know what a caring man he is. I thoroughly value and trust his opinion regarding my dog's dental health and completely trust him for her care. Having been in the human dental field for many years, I somewhat understand the importance of good dental care... especially for our canine friends. It's very important to their overall health and I wish more people would understand this. Without good dental health, your best friend could develop heart disease, diabetes, and all sorts of other issues. I would not trust my dog to anyone else! Recently, we went over for a routine prophy, exam and xrays. Pixel's pre-anesthesia blood work indicated that there was something going on with her liver. Instead of a prophy, Dr. B ended up ordering a bile acid test and ultrasound. Dr. Schelling did her ultrasound. He was pleasant and professional to work with. He was pretty sure he would find a shunt, but to our surprise, he did not! After 8 weeks of several different meds, her blood work returned as perfect! Pixel had no symptoms whatsoever. If I had not had this pre-anesthesia blood work completed, we would have not know and her liver infection could have turned into something life threatening or chronic. I'm so glad we've been proactive with her care. Although I agree with some that the fees charged are high, I do believe they are fair considering the level of expertise that these two docs have there and I am very pleased with their service. (I also have to give kudos to Dr. B's receptionists, Patricia and Rachel. Yes, the amount of staff at the front desk can be overwhelming at first and sometimes they can seem very disorganized when you walk in there. But now that I know who to go to, my experience have been nothing but pleasant! Thanks Patricia and Rachel!)
