We left after 5 yrs as patients of Pebble Maryland and came here. Much better. Dr. Muratore does NOT FORCE UP[ON YOU UNNECESSARY VACCINES, like Pebble Maryland. He also knows how to diagnose our dogs' med probs. He doesn't need test upon test upon test to make a simple diagnosis, like Pebble Maryland Animal Hosp does.We've been taking our dogs there for a couple of years. Doctor T's bedside manner is VERY comforting. He is so good at his job, I can't figure how he does it all, day after day. He must be exhausted!Yesterday, one of my pups had to have a tooth removed. The dog cried audibly (his pain cry is different from his anxiety crying. Only a mother would know the difference. I know the difference). He was crying from the pain of the surgery. He was a wreck. Doc gave me pain pills for the dog and once they kicked in, he stopped crying. I placed a clean white sheet on my bed (he sleeps w me). We spent the evening watching TV. When he would move his position, I could see blood on the sheet. I looked into his mouth and he had blood on his teeth. I flipped out! I phoned the office and left a message. The amount of blood was not too much, but I was afraid he'd choke on it, since I could see the blood on his teeth. They WERE NOT COVERED IN BLOOD-if they were, I would have gone to the emergency vet instantly. In all, there were 5 blood stains on the bed, but by the time I finally could fall asleep, at 6:30am, his mouth was no longer bleeding. My b/f took over monitoring the dog while I slept and he felt the dog was fine. He is fine. I sent a 'contact us' email to the hospital explaining my fears and anxieties and they phoned us back. I called them back as soon as I awoke and spoke with Doctor T's wife, whose own bedside manner is even better than her husband's (thank you so much). Her kind, nurturing words really helped me get over the anxiety about the dog's tooth extraction-she and her husband are very compassionate. I was so upset and worried. By the time she and I got off the phone, I felt so much better! I highly recommend Legacy Read Less
