While in the process of finding a new veterinarian (not thrilled with the last appointment with the old one), and having noticed a sudden change in our cats behavior, we found VCA Schaumburg Animal Hospital.
After checking the reviews, reading the staffs bio's, and visiting their website, we decided to take our cat there. We called at 8:00 am, explained our cats symptoms, and had an appointment set for 8:30.
Upon arrival - to a spotlessly clean facility - we were greeted by two courteous receptionists. After a less then 10 minute wait we were called in by a wonderful vet assistant. She listened to us without interruption, and meticulously documented our cats symptoms into the computer.
A few minutes later the vet came in. She patiently listened to us while throughly examining our cat, reassuring him the entire time. After some blood work and X-rays she returned with the sad news. After 11 amazing years we had to let our fur baby go.
I can not explain the pain one feels at hearing that kind of news, nor can I explain the compassion Dr. Bloomberg displayed in her facial expression, body language, voice and words. What a truly, truly wonderful person.
She explained the situation as well as the treatment options in terms we understood. She accepted our decision without argument or judgement. She, along with her support staff gave us "peace of mind" in our decision.
In losing a furry family member, we have no doubtably found our new veterinarian.
Thank you VCA. Read Less
