| - I began taking my dog and cat to this Dr. Steve Avery's clinic soon after he opened his doors for business in the Mt. Pleasant and Davisville area. It's now been about 5 years and there are so many reasons why I trust him with caring for my pets! I left my other vet after about 15 years going there because Dr. Avery manages his clinic not only as a business (as it's understood he is entitled to operate a profitable business) but he also truly cares for our pets! Dr. Avery discourages unnecessary costly tests or treatments and encourages non-intrusive treatments and natural remedies as much as possible! For example, for a year my dog showed signs with yelping from intermittent lower back pain for about a year at the age of 8 which at the time, Dr. Avery suggested that, for an otherwise very healthy and active mini-poodle in perfect weight (form), the pain was likely due to a pinched nerve. If that was the case, he said an MRI would serve no purpose as it wouldn't show such a problem. We did do x-rays to make sure there were no bone deformities (and there were none...not even any arthritis signs). So he recommended a natural Glucosamine along with a natural regularly injected substance call Cartorphen instead of chemical medications to try in case there was minimal arthritis causing this problem. When that didn't help, he recommended a very gentle human-used medication called Gabapentin. But that did not help. During this period of time, I consulted a holsitic/integrated vet to help my dog and Dr. Avery was more than glad to communicate with this holistic vet. Dr. Avery is also always willing to learn new information about new approaches to treatment or pet management and assess the possibilities of non-standard veterinarian pet health management that I may learn from other sources. By a year into it, my poor little dog's femur dislocated from her hip (which meant that the intermittent pain she had for a year was due to a microscopic misalignment of her femur in her hip joint that didn't show up in the x-ray). But with surgery, she's been totally fine since!! Point being, Dr. Avery didn't rush to have me spend large amounts of money for an MRI when he didn't think it would provide any useful information or unnecessary treatments. Also, for all his services, his price compared to my last vet and a couple of others is often 1/2 of what the others charge. I can go on and on ...of how Dr. Avery is a caring, competent veterinarian.
