I have a bumper sticker that says "All my children are furry." Yes, I am that person and damn proud of it. My cat is my child and yes, I am educated, have all my teeth, am sane and actually attractive.
With that in mind, a coworker recommended her vet Dr. Curtsinger after hearing about my lukewarm response to my experiences with other vets in town. I set up an appointment to establish my cat there and get her annual visit. I can honestly say we received great care there from every staff member. My cat gets carsick easily and unfortunately did so on our way to our first appointment there. Without going into the gruesome details, she was a hot mess and certainly fulfilled the term "one only a mother could love" at that moment. Within the first 2 min of being there, I explained that my cat got sick to the secretary who got the vet techs right away. They were sympathetic to my poor kitty who was not feeling nor looking her best at the moment and they took her in the back to give her a bath. They took me back with them so that I could be with Savannah J during her bath. After cleaning her off well, we met with the vet who actually took the time to really get to know Savannah J. Over the course of my life, I've met with a variety of vets and I really do appreciate how busy they are but I've never been overly impressed with any of them. I don't believe in over-vaccinating and Dr. Curtsinger understood that. He did not make me feel rushed at all and made Savannah J completely comfortable. He took the time to explain the purpose of certain blood tests and reviewed her recent stomach concerns. He recommended an excellent line of food (Into the Wild) and actually took the time to explain the history of the problems with the animal food industry and educate me. I thought I was being a good Mom and getting her organic food at Trader Joe's but he reviewed some issues and steered us toward a food that has agreed with Savannah J quite well.
Typically vets charge an arm and a leg which I've always accepted. I was pleasantly surprised when I got our bill-we didn't spend a small fortune!
I gave it a 4/5 bc they don't have the most convenient schedule which for the working gal is kinda tough!
It was an overall enjoyable, educational and positive experience. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves their furry babies!
