We had a wonderful experience with Blue Pearl and I am so grateful for what they have done for us. My pitbull Rado came in last week with a severe rattlesnake bite. The staff at Blue Pearl raced out to my vehicle and quickly retrieved him. He was suffering badly. He was being transferred from their other facility in Phoenix. They promptly took him to the back in triage, assessed his damages, and promptly had me in a back room talking to the amazing Dr. Travis Linney. This man is wonderful with dogs and the owners/parents of the dogs. He is kind, warm, and genuinely cares about the animals (and the family of the dogs). He is extremely knowledgeable with veterinary medicine. I am very impressed with Dr. Linney. I actually grew to like him a lot. He was really nice to me and had a great personality. Another doctor I want to mention is Dr. Katherine Smith, she is a critical care specialist. She has been absolutely wonderful with Rado. She knew exactly what to do to save his life, from the amount of medications to treating his pneumonia. She was kind and gentle with him, smart and straightforward. She is an outstanding physician with a very good bedside manner. She's also beautiful and Rado loves the pretty ladies. The last two days of Rado's stay Dr. Dana Caldwell has been caring for him. She is also an amazing doctor, very smart, kind, and sensitive. She was wonderful with assessing the issues with Rado and being very careful about his medications. She was extremely knowledgeable and very sweet to Rado (and me). I cannot say enough about this team of professionals. I have never been treated better by an emergency facility. The front desk staff has been wonderful with me. They answered all my questions, they are kind and sensitive, knowing how scared I was that Rado wasn't going to make it, Kayla and the others (too many to name all of them) comforted me when I came in and talked to me about Rado, they got the staff on the phone promptly every time I called wanting an update, and when I came to visit they got me back to Rado immediately. When Rado peed all over the lobby floor I felt so bad and they just laughed and said, "this happens all the time, don't worry about it". The nurses and techs caring for Rado 24-hours a day were amazing, they were smart and sweet, they took care of my baby like he was their own. I will never forget the love and kindness shown by the staff at this hospital. I truly did not think Rado was going to pull through this, they saved his life. They knew exactly what to do in every situation presented to them. This was not a simple snake bite. Rado had some other issues, he has Cushing's Disease, he has a thyroid issue, he has arthritis, and he's 12 on top of all of this. He is alive today because of the experts at Blue Pearl. Thank you so much to all the staff for everything you have done for the past seven days. Rado and I will never forget you.Read Less
