    This is long overdue, but I feel I really must add a note of praise to the late Dr. Tosici. When I ran a cat rescue in Milford, back on both sides of the turn of the century, he was incredibly helpful to me and my brood. I am reminded of him every day when I see 12-year-old Tristan tearing around the house on the three legs he was left with by 'Doc's repaired him after the little guy was hit by a car in Bridgeport. I called 'Doc' on my way from there to his office, and he saw us immediately. He wasn't sure if the kitten's life could be saved, but he promised if I could nurse some strength back into him, he'd apply his vet skills to fix him up. Around 10 days later, I was back at the office with a way-stronger cat -- all set for his surgery. It went fine, as did the close-up, which had been Doc's main concern (because of the nature of the wound, and shortage of skin to cover it). There was just one problem: Tristan couldn't figure out how to balance on one rear leg to have a bowel movement. He was eating like a horse, and developing a belly as tough as a rhino's. Back to the vet -- for an enima. 'Ever try to give a cat an enema? NOT a fun experience! It was all his assistant and I could do to hold the little guy in place long enough while Doc did the, um, dirty work. After that, Tristan never had a litter box problem again. He does have a weeping eye issue, but a tissue quickly deals with that every few days. BTW, Tristan was one of roughly 100 far-from-mistreated cats (plus three dogs) confiscated from us by a State Ag Department-inspired raid, all because two supposedly-caring individuals there didn't care that I'd saved the lives or close to 1100 cats in 3.5 years. That's how many I adopted out. I was only able to get back two of those taken from me. Most, I believe, were put down. Pat Liptak, then the Animal Control Officer in Milford, was very helpful to me and generous in her donations to me of food beyond the amount she needed. She played NO role in getting back to me the two cats I still have from that period. (Sara, the oldest, is 18.) Those who did are civilians, and are to be thanked as you should everyone who's legitimately doing cat or dog rescue work in that area. It is, where officialdom is concerned, largely a thankless task -- and an incredibly expensive one. I was spending in excess of $10,000 per year on vet bills -- a lot of it at Snowflake, because I couldn't burden Dr. T with all the issues my rescues had. But he, and another vet who must remain nameless, saved us huge sums when we called on them. And helped us save a lot of animals' lives. I still save cats and dogs, but just one at a time now. (Well, I rescue them one at a time, but I've managed to accumulate five cats and two dogs -- one of whom Pat Liptak took good care of during the three months he was locked up for crimes nobody committed! I will be highly appreciative if someone could ensure this note reaches Doc's widow. He was an incredibly generous, beyond-belief talented man. I don't doubt there are countless cats throughout that area who was were in my care, and his, who are alive and rewarding people every day, as cats do, because of him. Thanks, Doc.

    Thankfully this is not a VCA clinic, so you will not be subjected to unnecessary tests and ridiculously high prices. Dr Tosici explains everything he does and why he does it, and quite often this includes saving money compared to a typical vet. He is smart and thorough, and he truly cares about the well being of you pet.

    Dr. Tosici is the best Vet in the tri-state area, for sure! He and his staff are friendly and knowledgeable. He is also very inexpensive and it is evident always that he is doing this because he wants to make a difference not a profit.

    Dr. Tosici was recommended to me almost 10 years ago by my neighbor who used him and I've been going to him ever since. He cares about the animals he sees and gives the best advice for your pet. I used him with my first dog and the two that I currently have as well as two cats. I trust his judgement and he's been right every time.

    Dr. Guzy was very honest and straight-forward about treatment options for my dog. It was a busy environment but the staff was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!
