We've been going to Dr. Dorn for years with all of our pets - dogs, cats, birds. He is genuinely caring and treats all animals and their owners with respect. They feel like an old-fashioned family doctor. When my dog was dying from a heart ailment, they took us right away. Animal medicine is not any more exact than human medicine. In some cases, no matter how hard you try, you can't save their life. Every day they live with the results of bad breeding and puppy mills. My sister's shelter cat was recently very ill and they bent over backwards to try to diagnose and treat her. When all they tried failed and they determined she had a fatal virus common in shelter cats (undiagnosable except by eliminating everything else), they even encouraged her to take the cat for a second opinion before deciding to put her down. Other vets might have continued to take my sisters money, knowing she wasn't going to get better. They were ethical and kind every minute. We take our puppy there now and she loves him. He mentioned all of the weaknesses in the breed and what to look out for without me even asking. I highly recommend Dr. Dorn.
Pros: Very loving, respectful, not rushed
Cons: Parking, hours, probably slightly higher cost than some
