I have been taking my dogs to AMC for since 2004 and have never considered any other veterinary service. Though my 3 dogs have seen Dr. Forcier for much of the time, other vets have "jumped in" when Dr. Forcier was not available. I have always felt that Dr. F conferred with the other vets if a situation was "unusual", or referred our dogs to Veterinary Special Care for very specific needs. Luckily, our dogs have been very healthy except for the last couple of years....to be expected of dogs now age 14 and 13.
AMC always did the initial evaluations, blood tests and x-rays to rule out anything obvious.
When Dr. F found what appeared to be jaw cancer and previously a tumor on the spleen, my dog was rushed to a specialist and provided the surgery and treatment needed. After 6 months of chemo, my 14 year old dog is doing very well due to early diagnosis.
Recently, one of the other dogs had an infected toe with a loose nail, and after examination and xray, Dr F noted that the bone was obliterated and it was either a bad infection or cancer, and a surgeon should look at it. Dr. F said even if the toe had to be amputated, there was a good chance of recovery, and he was absolutely correct. My 13 year old dog is walking around just fine due to early diagnosis.
As a side note, Dr F is the only vet that could make my very sedate old lab actually play like a young pup....Dr F has a special chemistry with my dogs and it is clear that he loves them and they love him back.
The staff and techs are just as wonderful and I always feel like "family" when I come in. They are very accommodating with last minute appointments when I am especially concerned and make me and my dogs feel very welcome. I have NEVER had a bad experience in all these years with ANY vet at AMC, tech, or office staff.
Last but not least, I have to put in a "plug" for Best Friends Boarding" which is owned by AMC. My dogs loves going and staying there, and get the same kind of love and attention that I would give them. The staff at BFB is exceptional as well.
