My dog had TPLO surgery with Dr.Mertens. This surgery is tedious and hours long on a small dog so I was very nervous about it. It also required him to spend the night at CVS. Dr.Mertens, Holly, and all of the other staff I've spoken/met with have been nothing but absolutely wonderful. They took such great care of my dog, answered all of my questions during our visits and during my numerous calls to them through all hours of the day/night, and put me at ease when I was a nervous mess. They made sure he was in no pain those first 24 hours after surgery, they called me to let me know when they were beginning the surgery, and again twice after it ended. I highly recommend CVS for any specialized surgery.
