After our cat, E, was diagnosed with kidney disease, our then vet said that nothing could be done about his lack of appetite. We had heard good things about the Cat Clinic, so we went there.\nWe saw Dr. Nemec and we told her E's history. She listened to everything we had to say and the first thing she said was, "We'll get him feeling better and then he'll start eating again." We had lost hope that he would ever feel better, but she was totally matter-of-fact that this would happen.\nAnd it did. She did blood tests and recommended several changes in his care: gave him antacids for acid stomach, adjusted his hydration schedule to make him more comfortable, found foods he liked, treated his anemia, etc.\nE thrived with the attention to detail he got from Dr. Nemec. The year after she took over his care was much better for him than the previous year. He got his appetite back, had more energy, and was more playful.\nWhen Dr. Nemec would take blood for a test, the next morning at 10AM she'd call with the results, and explain any changes we needed to make. This way there was a quick response to changes in his status.\nWhen E had surgery they let us visit him in the ICU. When E needed a procedure (blood sample, urine sample, etc.) they always let us accompany him, if we wanted, while the vet techs worked on him. They knew how to restrain him so he became compliant and not agitated.\nDr. Nemec was always prompt in returning my calls, and the vet techs were also available to answer questions.\nWe felt that E was getting excellent care, and we were, too. Any problems that E had were dealt with promptly and expertly. Dr. Nemec was clear and honest about E's prognosis. When it was near the end she told us.\nIn summary, we had expert, compassionate, patient, and attentive care at the Cat Clinic. All the vet techs are fabulous -- knowledgeable, efficient, and kind.\nA month after E died we adopted another cat. The next day we took her to the Cat Clinic for a complete exam and shots. We trust them completely.
