Being a paranoid person that I am, I wanted to find the best vet for my maltese. I took my dog to 3 different vets in the area and Dr. Sorm in Strongsville was the most knowledgable. My puppy was scared and she was the only one that was sensitive to that; she held her for a minute or so to make her comfortable before giving her an exam. Also, I really liked that I was given a questionaire to see what kind of owner I am -- do I want to know every possible detail about my dog's care or do I only want an overview... This is important to me because I want to know "everything". Dr. Sorm was the only vet that was very knowledgable in toy breeds including maltese.
