On a Sunday morning, my beloved 10 year old dog suddenly began showing major symptoms of gastric torsion, which is one of the most extreme medical emergencies known for dogs. Time is of the essences, as death can come very quickly. I rushed her to Sisk Veterinary Hospital, where Dr. Singh immediately took an x-ray confirming gastric torsion. He began administering IV fluids to stabilize her before beginning emergency surgery. He told me that she most likely had a 50 / 50 chance of surviving surgery, and the follow up care would be very risky, and it might take days to recover. My dog was in very bad shape and I was expecting the worst. I can't even begin to express how thankful I was when Dr. Singh called later that day to let me know that she was alive and well. He was able to rotate her stomach back into alignment and then removed her spleen. He also performed a gastropexy, to help prevent any future gastric torsion. He told me that she could come home later that day. When I returned to the veterinary hospital to get my dog, Dr. Singh thoroughly explained everything to me. He showed me the surgical equipment that he used on her and even showed me her spleen. He spent a great deal of time answering all of my questions, as well as my families questions. Never once did we feel rushed. I would like to emphasize how extremely polite, professional, and kind hearted Dr. Singh was, as well as the other veterinary staff. Dr. Singh asked me to bring her back the following morning for a follow up visit. When I returned Dr. Singh had the biggest smile on his face when he saw how well my dog was doing. I could tell how genuinely he, and his staff members, cared about my dog. Dr. Singh's office called twice the next day to see how my dog was doing. I would also like to say that the price Dr. Singh charged me was exactly how much he had previously estimated. There were no hidden fee's or surprises. This veterinary hospital saved my beloved dog's life in a dire emergency and I am forever grateful. Read Less
