DR. BUCKWEITZ "DR. B" IS A ROCKSTAR!!!!
If I could give 1,000 stars I would! I recently relocated from CT to FL with my husband and two dogs. My 12 1/2 yr old cattledog Quigley recently had surgery to remove a parathyroid gland with a tumor. She has always been a healthy dog, working our horse ranch. In 2010 she was diagnosed with Atypical Cushings, had gotten Lyme's disease in 2012 and then this tumor in 2013. Needless to say, she's keeping us very busy!
I was very concerned moving her so soon after surgery but didn't have much of a choice. I did my research and because I used VCA Animal Hospitals in CT and had a great experience with them both, I opted that route again. I made my appoint with Dr. Buckweitz "Dr. B" for vaccines and an annual to establish a new relationship with her.
SURPRISE!!! On the day of the appointment, our Quigs came down with fever, no appetite, trembling, weakness, limping, the list goes on. So lucky me...I had an appointment and brought her in.
Dr. B was unbelievable with her approach, interest in her history and Quigley's comfort level, she prescribe and sent us home. Quigs did much better and then this happened again 2 more times over the next few months. She had to be hospitalized 1x as well for very high fever. To this day, we are still working through the symptoms and in conjunction with specialist to help Quigley through this and I am confident, with Dr. B at the helm, all will be resolved! Even though this case is complex to say the least with several conditions that are rare...Dr. B isn't the bit intimidated by it. Her training and professionalism shine through with her eagarness to be on this case and see it through and she has go above and beyond for us!
Not only has Dr. B checked in with me by calling, emailing and texting every couple days or when Quigs is doing poorly, every day, she spoke directly with the specialists and wrote up referral letters. She is so on top of this, I can breath knowing my Quigs is in good hands. I haven't known Dr. B for long, but for the short time I have....she has demonstrated to me what a truly compassionate, highly trained professional she is and I am so grateful to her and her staff for all the amazing "GOING THE EXTRA MILE" things she and they have done for us.
The ladies in the office and the vet staff also rock! Melissa, the very caring and supportive vet tech was a breath of fresh air! Both Quigs and I loved her and immediately she made me feel comfortable. Lisa, the office manager is always on top of things. I've needed 100 things faxed and sent, RX's called in, etc... and she's been on it for me. Jen, the medicine specialist knows all you could ever want to know about the flea, tick, heartworm meds, etc... And I have to admit, I wasn't comfortable at first switich from Trifexis to Comboguard and Jen offered to go over everything but I insisted on speaking with Dr. B. Boy was I humbled... Dr. B came out and laughed...she said, "Jen knows more about this stuff than I do!" I felt bad and apologized to Jen but she was great and understood and sick pet's worry about these things. She is so sweet and supportive and trust me...she knows her stuff! Michelle, Bronson and Kelly, I had some experience with and look forward to more. They all are so helpful and supportive. Thank you ladies and gent for all your care....we pet owner's notice!!! Much love to Dr. B and her amazing staff!!!!
In a nutshell...Dr. B is a ROCKSTAR!!!!
