we took our very sick dog in on saturday, thinking that he might have to be euthanized. after going to 4 different vets in the past nine months, 1 of them a very popular local vet in jupiter, all we had accomplished was flushing $3,000 down the toilet and had been browbeaten in a very condescending manner because we wouldn't continue to submit our dog for more expensive, useless tests and treatments. no vet should insinuate that you are a bad pet owner because you have a budget.we were very upfront with dr. maria, and within 10 minutes, she had clipped a skin sample and put it under a microscope, in front of us, and was showing us the demodex mite crawling through my dog's sample on the computer screen! it was as easy as that! we were minutes away from putting or dog to sleep because other vets were more interested in racking up big bills doing complicated tests, and this wonderful woman immediately thought to do the simple, logical thing, even if it was not something that would line her pockets. within 48 hours, our dog has gone from near unconsciousness to up and about, even pushing a his favorite ball around, begging us to play fetch! i cannot say enough wonderful things about dr. maria and her staff. she has gained lifelong customers in us and our 2 cocker spaniels. i will shout from the rooftops to recommend her and can say that i have more trust in her than any other vet, spanning 2 different states.vet care costs money, that is part of the deal when you own a pet. but just like people's healthcare, most people have a budget and to find a vet that doesn't beat you up because of that is rare in our experience. dr. maria is kind, compassionate and obviously puts her patients first, and that is why i totally recommend her.
