Meeting Dr. Jack Covitz 18 years ago on an emergency visit with my then 13 year old cat, Lacy, was one of the best moments of fate I have ever had. Dr. Covitz immediately calmed my very terrified little imp, a feat which had never been accomplished by multiple veterinarians. She had a UTI , and despite the distance, she and her brother, Wesley, (shout out to the staff [Kelly] that had to wrangle his 18lbs of terror)...had a new doctor. Dr. Covitz is a brilliant anesthesiologist, an extremely skilled surgeon, and truly empathetic medical professional. He got both of them through multiple surgeries, in spite of their ages, without negative side affects. Both were in good health after their surgeries and healed well each time. When the time came, he helped me prepare when I had to, say goodbye to them. He has always patiently and respectfully helped me through very emotional reactions, I cry at everything. When I was ready to take in a new rescue, he helped me find a beautiful little family, with a mama and her three kittens. My kittens are now 11.5 years old, and I just received the horrible news my Sawyer has Lymphoma. Jack was there for me yet again, and has helped me to set a protocol for Sawyer's care. Taking his advise we will keep him as comfortable as possible, and let Sawyer guide the depth of intervention.I will NEVER EVER EVER forget the many kindnesses, patience, and generosity of both he and his staff. I am filled with gratitude for having met Dr. Jack Covitz that fateful fall day in 2000. You will never find a more compassionate, empathetic, or skilled veterinarian. Thank you all at Carmel Animal Hospital!Petra P. Read Less
