I brought my cat here and was VERY skeptical at first of a feline ophthalmology department. However, Dr. LaCroix is FABULOUS. She is incredibly knowledgeable and caring when it comes to the animals. \r

My kitten had a lacerated cornea which was incredibly swollen. After a thorough examination the we were given medication and care instructions. There was a chance that the eye would have to be removed, however the least invasive method was tried first. The combination of medication and follow up care worked. The cat's eye healed (not perfectly and am not sure how much vision he has) and three years later he is a healthy active cat. After the care we received we were able to avoid a major and potentially life threatening surgery for a small kitten. \r

Yes it does cost money to visit this hospital (our total bill with medications was about 1100), however I did not feel like we were being ripped off and that the level of care was appropriate and effective. I would highly recommend this practice.
