My little Silky Terrier was diagnosed with TCC bladder cancer, which there is no cure for, in December 2012. She had an episode in March 2014 and I thought that was the end but rather than put her to sleep we decided to take her to Dr. Burr for a consultation and to ask her if she thought our little girl was suffering. She explained all about the cancer and that it was slow growing. She told us that as far as she could tell my little angel was not suffering. She said every day was a blessing and that we really don't know how this is going to progress but I now had a partner in treating my little girl. We changed up her meds a little to slow the growth of the tumor and Dr. Burr did some tests to see if the cancer spread and luckily it hadn't. Dr. Burr has been very active with emails and phone calls to check on my little girl and we are now in June 2014 and she is still fighting the brave fight. I consider Dr. Burr to be an amazing veterinary oncologist and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Dr. Burr.
LVVSC has a great reputation for a good reason. The care here used to be excellent, however things change with time and people, and this place has really gone downhill.
The Veterinary Specialty Center is an amazing facility that treats many of your pets needs. Without the help of DR MASON I do not know where I would be now. My dog had a TPLO procedure done and after 2 weeks I took her in for a suture removal and DR Mason happened to be in the waiting room upon my arrival. He noticed my dog was walking awkwardly even after a surgery. He immediately ordered an Xray and sure enough the plate in her leg was beginning to come off. She was basically home for 2 weeks healing and without me knowing her bone was not healing any. I want to stress THIS WAS NOT THE FAULT OF THE SPECIALTY CENTER IN ANY WAY. It was a rare case however, without DR Masons knowledge, quick reactions, and aware of his surroundings, I am not sure when this would have been discovered. Not only is DR Mason an EXCELLENT surgeon he is an even better person. I can't stress enough good things about this place from top to bottom the staff is unbelievable. If you have any doubts about the Specialty Center, feel free to rest at night that your pet is well taken care of. I cant thank them all enough.
My cat was loosing weight and had multiple internal organ issues. They were very compassionate, recommending all the options and helping me pick the best one for my cat. They call to check up, call to give blood results, and are really just an A+ establishment. My cat's doing better now, thanks to their staff and hard work. If you have a veterinary emergency or need a specialist for your animal - this is the place to go!
My dachshund had a herniated disc in his neck and it was either surgery or put him down. He was in agony. That was just over a week ago. Today he is like his old self again! Dr. Horstman was wonderful, as are all of the staff. Awesome talent and kindness.
