The first time I took one of my pets to Sierra Oasis, I was a little bit shocked when Dr. Rich walked into the room. No lab coat, no high-and-mighty "I'm the doctor, so just smile and nod at whatever I say" attitude...just a regular guy who looks more like a surfer than a doctor. His appearance wasn't a deterrent to me, though. I LOVED it!! In the next instant, I realized I had found a gem of a veterinarian. Dr. Rich got down on the floor and gathered my very scared dog into his lap to give him snuggles and reassure him that everything was going to be okay!! I have NEVER before seen a vet treat my animals as if they were creatures with feelings who needed to be comforted!! Dr. Rich didn't begin to examine my dog until my dog was 100% comfortable with him. I have received the same loving, caring attention from Dr. Rich and his staff every time I have taken my animals (both my own pets as well as foster pets I care for) to Sierra Oasis. Dr. Rich even met me at the clinic one night at about midnight when one of my foster puppies got sick, and that was after he had talked with me via Instant Messaging on Facebook to help me ascertain whether or not the puppy needed to be seen on an emergency basis or if he could wait until the clinic opened in the morning. I highly recommend Dr. Rich and Sierra Oasis Animal Care to anyone needing veterinary care for their furbabies. They truly care more about your pets than they do about the almighty dollar...something that is, unfortunately, very rare in today's society. Read Less
