Dr. K is an outstanding Vet. I agree with Jeremiah L. that his first route of care is conservative, he is mindful of costs/uses human grade medications if cheaper. Our dog has an ACL tear right now (damn ice storm) and he is very open about the risks/benefits of the various surgeries, discussed braces and conservative management. He often takes the phone if we call in to ask a question and is very generous with his time both in clinic and on the phone. Plus, our dog LOVES him, which is the best vote of all.
