This review is long overdue. I think I caught Dr Tom when he was practically fresh out of vet school (3 dogs ago for me). I stayed with him for 24 years watching his business grow to what it is today until I moved to Chicago for work. I have been to 4 different vets since moving to Chicago and have yet to find one half as good as he was! I have even consulted him via email since moving here (no charge: )). I saw other vets at his clinic also and was always very happy with them too. If I were ever to move back to Madison I wouldn't even consider taking my pets anywhere else! When one of my previous dogs had cancer he got me into the UW Vet School for treatment the same day (after they said they couldn't do it when I called them myself).
