I've been taking my cat here for the past year and a half, and the crew here are great. All the techs are helpful and patient with my senior cat-devil. When I made the first appointment, I told the office my cat is a little violent (she used to be worse when she was younger, trust me), so they don't take her temperature when she comes in for annual exams / basic check-ups. That makes life easier for everyone. Dr. Prochaska is awesome. He's an old school vet, and his knowledge and experience are vast. My cat quite strangely and seemingly suddenly developed seasonal allergies and asthma about two months after we moved to Minnesota. It's still a struggle trying to figure out what's going on, as no one really knows for sure what is happening or why, but Dr. Prochaska has given great advice and he's worked with my cat through every test possible as means to rule out any other issues. I took her to an allergist and cardiologist back in our home state to build on Dr. Prochaska's advice and now my devil kitty is on desensitization shots. Crossing fingers it works. For her first shot (which the vaccine was made up by the allergist back in my home state), Dr. Prochaska had me bring in my cat so they could teach me how to give the sub-q injection and watch her after the first shot, as she may have allergic reactions. The vet tech stayed with me after practicing with Dr. Prochaska to keep practicing. My cat wasn't in the mood to be getting injections, so we stayed in the room, trying to get a hold of her for almost 45 minutes. (She was a little shocked by the practice injection Dr. Prochaska gave using saline.) The tech, I wish I remember her name, was very helpful and calming. I'm scared of needles and well, injecting my cat (who isn't), but she helped. My cat is doing well on her injections now, and Dr. Prochaska called me two weeks after the first shot to check in. He's checked in with us before, which is so nice for a vet office to do.I'll keep taking my little devil here for as long as we live here. They also work well with my cat's vets (yes, she has an entourage) back in my home state, of which the other vets work well with Kenwood. Kenwood helps lower the stress I have from my cat's late-in-life illness (which helps me focus on the stress I have from grad school!). Read Less
