I've been taking my dog Mazy to Richman Animal Clinic for years. Recently, Mazy suffered from spinal cord problems. I'm still not completely sure what brought them on, but if I had to make a guess, it was probably the time she chased a squirrel and fell against a large pot in the backyard, breaking it (although no immediate symptoms of ataxia were apparent, so who knows). In any case, the spinal cord issues caused Mazy's hind legs to become paralytic. My wife and I rushed Mazy to a 24 hour animal clinic, as it was a Sunday night at the time, and we weren't really sure at the time what was wrong with her, and that animal clinic simply ran an X-ray and charged several hundred dollars for it.
We called Richman Animal Clinic the next day and got Mazy checked in that same day. Thanks to Dr. Richman's laser therapy and guidance, Mazy is walking again. We still have a few sessions of the laser therapy left, but Mazy has improved so much already. She has several weeks to go yet, but the fact that she can walk at all really shows that the hard work of Dr. Richman and his staff, as well as Mazy, is really paying off.
Mazy's condition was so bad that she needed two rounds of laser treatment, but even both sets of laser treatments (6 treatments apiece) combined were less than what my wife and I had paid for Mazy's X-ray at the 24 hour clinic. But we're getting more than just laser treatments - we're also getting a personalized care plan for Mazy that is working! (laser therapy, medication, instructions for care at home, etc.)
I'm hopeful that she'll be at 80-100% in the coming weeks - she's already made tremendous strides in a short amount of time, especially considering the severity of the spinal cord issue. I'll definitely keep taking Mazy back to Richman Animal Clinic - Dr. Richman and his staff help keep Mazy, the very hyperactive dog that she is, healthy, happy, and excited to return. Read Less
