Dr. Pederson and Karen and the entire staff are amazing!!! I LOVE THEM! I took my cat, Panda, in for an ultrasound and found a problem with her intestines. We scheduled surgery for the very next morning and after a 3 night stay at the hospital, I am happy to report my baby is doing great! I had brought her to 3 other vets for the same problem, consistent vomiting, and after blood work and xrays showing nothing, I was referred to Dr. Pederson by my dad and I loved her instantly! All of the other vets said we needed to redo blood work and x-rays- why? What were they hoping would show up? More money for them, I assume. Dr. Pederson said there was no need to rerun these tests and ultrasound was the way to go. I know she saved my baby's life! She had necrotic intestinal tissue which was caused by a blockage and needed to be removed. She also discovered that Panda had some steel mesh inside which was used to hold things together after her spay when she was 6 months old (from another vet I no longer use). She told me she removed it because it was not necessary to be there and they should never have used it on her since it stays in their bodies for life. What?! I could not believe my ears! Here I had brought her to this other vet years ago (she is 8 now) who I trusted only to find out they did this botched job on my baby! Dr. Pederson just took it upon herself to remove that material and there was no extra fee for that. I am so appreciative! She wanted to do what was right for Panda, regardless.
I am so eternally grateful to Dr. Pederson and her loving staff for taking superior care of my kid! She even stayed overnight with Panda while she was in recovery. Who does this?!?! Someone with a great love and compassion for our furry friends. They have me for life! I honestly cannot say enough great things about this amazing hospital. She truly has a passion for her work and is in it for the right reasons. So nice to find someone with integrity and compassion!
