Kind, compassionate, wonderful. I am disabled, which makes any outing very difficult. Saharaha, my lil chi mix & therapy dog has serious colitis diagnosed 2 years ago & has recently been limping also. We have ended up in the hospital often requiring IV fluids and meds to treat the colitis. Of course this sets off even more colitis. I see Dr. Ortiz at Shores & lover her dearly. Dr. Ortiz was able to prescribe some medication I can keep on hand to administer for colitis which has been very helpful. I personally wanted to do more for Saharaha and I was referred to Dr. Casanova by several friends & called her for an appointment. She came to my home which was so tremendously wonderful for myself and Saharaha. I wanted to discuss any option I wasn't currently using for additional colitis treatment & her joint pain. Dr. Casanova got right down on the floor just listening and asking questions & just let Saharaha do her own thing. Dr. Casanova reviewed her current feeding plan, prior treatments, current medications & recent medical care. I learned so much during this visit. Dr. Casanova taught me some pressure points, massage, additional foods & provided me some of her homemade stock. She also encouraged me to call when Saharaha has her next colitis issue and she would come over & assist me. I learned so much during this visit. I've put all of her instructions to use & I have to say I was surprised at how everything she suggested was very easy for me to do & how very small the little tweeks here and there. Saharaha has turned into a puppy again. I mean she is feeling so much better she just wants to play. I haven't seen her do this in years. She isn't even limping anymore and haven't had another colitis attack since, but feel confident if one should arise.
More importantly Dr. Casanova's visit didn't cause another colitis attack.
I've seen some of the other posts and feel terrible for their experience, however that really wasn't mine. I would suggest anyone to call her. Read Less
