Owners describe practical, anxiety-reducing handling choices—such as not lifting a dog onto the exam table when it wasn’t necessary—and clear explanations of injuries and recovery. One recent reviewer who came for a second opinion on a Chihuahua’s mouth lump said the vet explained what would be done, handled the dog gently, and phoned promptly after the procedure to confirm it was finished and when pickup could happen. There is also a conflicting account from an older 1‑star review describing “very bad advice” leading to an expensive referral experience elsewhere.
