Let me start by saying, our dogs are just like our kids, we don't just take them to anyone for health problems or regular care. When our miniture Snauzer Regi who is nine years old, came down with diabetis, it wasn't long before he developed cateracs and went blind in both eyes. Our regular vet recommended that we go to Gulf Coast Animal Eye Clinic and see Dr. Glaze.
As a responsible parent, I went to the web and read the reviews some of which were not very re-ashuring.
My wife and I made an appointment and met with Dr. Glaze. When we arrived to the clinic, we were greated by the office staff and took a seat. As usual, we were early for our appointment which gave us time to observe
for ourselves. Let me say, there were non-stop pet owners coming thru the doors. While we were waiting for our scheduled appointment, we asked several dog owners about thier experiences with the clinic. Not one person had a unkind word to say which helped us put to rest our initial concerns that we had after reading some of the reviews on line.
We met on time with Dr. Glaze who then spoke with us regarding our baby's condition. She took time to explain that eye surgery may have very good results or very poor results. She was very honest with us to say that a good result highly depends on the proper post surgery care which if done properly, demands detailed care of the patient. We spent 15-20 minutes just asking questions and getting answers from Dr. Glaze. She was very patientd answered our questions and explained the procedure in great detail.
After the Q&A, she examined Regi to see if he was a good canidate for the surgery. Her assistant helped with the handeling of our pet while we stayed in the private exam room and watched. They were very gentle and caring while examining Regi. We could tell that they took great pride in the services that they provide.
After the exam, Dr. Glaze told us that Regi had a 75% chance for a successful outcome. We felt that the doc gave us a honest answer and that the risk was well worth taking. We scheduled the surgery and prayed that our Regi would be able to see again.
Regi had the surgery and our prayers were answered. He regaind his sight. I can say without reservation, Dr. Glaze and her staff were exceptional. They treated our pet as if it was their own.
I truely believe that if you follow the post operative instructions that Dr. Glaze gives you, your chances for a successful outcome will be greatly increased.
Thank you Dr. Glaze for giving our Regi his sight back.
