dicine, soft tissue surgery, chemotherapy, dentistry and routine wellness care. . “We do our best to treat everybody the same, just how we would want to be treated. We are planning on being able to spend enough time with clients, so we can educate them and explain why we do what we do. Clients deserve to understand why their pet is getting a certain treatment, medication or vaccine." - Edward Decort DVM

Dr. Ed graduated from Ross University in 2005. Our hospital motto is “Our patients are our pets and our clients are our family”. We value the relationship, continued trust, and goodwill we establish with our clients. Providing quality, compassionate care in a timely manner is our top priority. We must convey to each and every client that we are there when you need us.
• We take a lifespan approach to each of our patients and are dedicated to being there from puppy/kitten shots, through the illnesses and traumas, and eventually the geriatric years until the end of the pet’s life.
• We are dedicated to client education and providing our clients with enough information to make appropriate decisions for their animal companions.

We promised ourselves we’d stay dignified. That ended 5 posts ago. 😆
Dr. Ed said ‘one tasteful reminder to our Better Lives family.’ We ignored him. If you can survive 47 reminder posts from us, you can survive clicking VOTE one more time.
