I took my cats to Dr. Valese specifically for dental care because I found some gum & tooth problems on my own. I was very concerned & expected my cats to need some teeth extracted. Dr. Valese evalutated my cats & I took them back for same day procedures for teeth cleaning with possible extractions. Good news is, he cleaned their teeth to the whitest & cleanest ever. They looked better than some people! The gums healed from the inflammation & the black teeth were just stained badly & this was able to be removed along with alot of tartar. I got them to Dr. Valese in time for him to save their teeth & have their health improve. Throughout the 6 visits I had with Dr. Valese I only experienced the friendliest & most caring staff from the receptionist, to the assistants to Dr. himself. Dr. Valese was very soft spoken, very concerned & very gentle with my cats, as were all the girls in the office. I have the utmost confidence in him. They made follow up calls & also Dr. returned my calls when I had concerns about my cat when I brought one home from his procedure. The entire staff is very approachable. Dr. Valese also gave me excellent advice on other problems I was having with my cats. As others have said, you must expect to pay more for Dr. Valese's services, as he is a specialist vetrinarian. His knowledge & facility capabilities go far beyond that of the normal vet. You get what you pay for & the care & treatment you recieve is top notch. I am so thankful that I found him & I took my pets there. I can't tell you how many of my friend's dogs & cats had to have their teeth extracted because of no dental care & have other health issues because of this. My cats will live a longer & healthier life because of Dr. Valese's care. I cannot say enough good things about this Dr.
Pros: Friendly staff, clean, cheerful facility, excellent Dr.
