I recently brought my dog in for a general check up and to see why he had such bad breath.\r
I was very nervous about my appointment because I know bad breath in people can indicate all sorts of horrible diseases. From the moment I walked in and was greeted with a smile by the receptionist to the moment I left when the nurse gave my dog a treat, I felt like this was a place that really cared about animals.\r
Dr Leiman examined my dog entirely, not just his mouth and heart etc, but entirely, even checking the bottom of his feet for problems! He assured me the bad breath was almost certainly coming from an infection in his gums caused by his teeth. He seemed so experienced and sure about the problem that my stress level went down to zero. He showed me which teeth were bad, and when we discussed the treatment options, he listened carefully to my concerns, financial constraints, and ability to take care of my dog afterwards. For example, he wanted to know if I would be able to brush his teeth every day and bring him in for dentistry every 6 months- if the answer was no, then he might be more likely to extract diseased teeth. It was nice to have an input, not to just be dictated to, like many other doctors seem to do.\r
Anyway, I wanted other people who love their pets to know about this place.\r
