Dr. Marcus, Kim, Claudia, Nicole and all her staff are wonderful! They have treated our cats like their own. I appreciate that they can run so many tests in house and get results quickly. One of the things I like best is that Dr. Marcus takes time to educate us on a condition and on the options for treatment and possible outcomes. However, ultimately, she lets us decide the best course of action -- I never feel pressured. Regarding costs, I've done the homework and they are comparable to others in the area and one has to consider that an x-ray or diagnostic costs the same whether working on a human or animal; its just that humans are often insulated by insurance. If money is a problem, be honest about it -- look into pet insurance and if you simply want to know costs up front, just ask -- the staff is very forthcoming. Most of all, I appreciate that Dr. Marcus has come to our home each time it has been time to say goodbye to one of our beloved kitties at the end of their long (18, 19 and 21 year olds) happy, and delightful spoiled lives. She has helped us to recognize the signs of their being ready to move on before they begin suffering. You want a vet that won't take advantage of your fragile emotions at this time and prescribe further treatment that makes them live a few days longer even as they may begin to suffer while your vet makes make a few extra dollars. Dr. Marcus can look at your cat and help you know when it's time to say when. (For that matter, our cats were experts at letting us know as well -- they face death so much more calmly than we do.) While I miss each of our babies so much, I feel so at good that they died in our home and in our arms so peacefully and with dignity.
