I want to thank the staff at Sunridge for being so helpful and accommodating to me and my 4-yr old daughter when I called to bring in our new guinea pig, Lilac. I was able to come in on a walk-in basis, which was great, because with guinea pigs, you have to act fast the minute you realize something is wrong (many conditions are fatal, and it doesn't take long at all). Dr. Curtis is very kind, and took great care in examining Lilac, giving us a lot of information. Her condition was an oddity, but very serious, and it was very clear that she was headed to death's door. There were a few things that it could have been, but Dr. Curtis carefully worked through each step and explained the "hows" and "whys." I was very taken by how genuinely concerned he was with my little rodent, because even though she's small and not a dog or a cat, she's a loved pet that needed help. He thoroughly advised me on the options, explained all of the directions for me for home care, and really took his time with us, which was very touching. I've had many piggies and this is the first one I've ever had to bring in for medical assistance, and I am so glad that we were this fortunate. She was given a full round of antibiotics, and I followed all of the home-care directions. She is thriving, growing and all better! I paid $70 total (exam + meds) and it was worth it... not just for the care she received and the confidence I have to wholeheartedly recommend Sunridge, but because the trip literally saved her life. The staff is very nice, the office and rooms are extremely clean, and I was very impressed over all. If I had other pets, I would not hesitate to bring them to Dr. Curtis for his excellent care. The bulletin board of a zillion happy pet photos from other "patients" speaks for itself. Thank you!Read Less
