| - I brought my Boston Terrier here for the first time today - she has a terrible eye infection. (A quick note: there is a nice little parkette and community garden across the street from the clinic - perfect for a before-and-after appointment walk!) After reading other reviews I wasn't sure what to expect from Dr. Skutelsky himself and felt a little nervous - but I was pleasantly surprised, especially considering that I haven't been able to keep up with her shots or anything for several years (my finances tanked with the economy and I've been struggling ever since). I was honest and upfront about my situation: very sick and very beloved dog, very little money to work with. He was extremely, extremely kind. He told me he was too concerned about the swelling in her eye to just prescribe antibiotics so he referred us to Forrest Hill Animal Clinic to see a canine ophthalmologist and gave her eye drops for her discomfort. His nurse even called them for us to find out how much it would cost, what kinds of payment they take, when they could see us, etc. We're doing a walk-in with her in the morning.
Kindest of all, they refused to allow us to pay for this visit. "You'll need it tomorrow," they said, and I nearly cried with relief. This is a clinic that truly puts the needs of their animals first. As soon as I'm able I will be taking my other pets to see him. What a kind, classy man. I can't recommend him enough; he was worth the (short) wait and his receptionist and his nurse were both incredibly kind and welcoming, and my dog loved them all, even though she was ill. Thank you, Dr. S., so much.
