I took my dog to Jimerson because I was concerned with her hip. Her hip dislocated twice. He immediately wanted to perform a surgery on her the next day, a surgery to remove the femur bone. I went home and read about it and discovered it was a procedure you might only perform on a dog 25 pounds or less. My dog is 60 pounds. I then took my dog to a veterinarian specialist who informed me that a hip replacement would be the best option if anything was to be done, but he believed she did not need one. We discussed daily exercise, and good nutrition. My dog is now 14 years old, and her hip has been stable and pain free for all those years. I exercise her daily and give her good nutrition. Shame on Jimerson. He is either incompotent or just plain money hungry.
