The previous vet, Dr. Mann was an awesome vet though. I haven't met the new one, but my wife has and likes her. We'll be taking both our dogs to see her soon for shots. Dr. Mann was great, he helped my dog's broken tail heal. We took her to an emergency vet in Des Moines, and he (the vet there, not Dr. Mann) recommended to dock it! Dr. Mann sedated her and did "bone manipulation" by moving it back into place. It has since healed wonderfully. I was very worried it wouldn't but it did. Thank God. To dock a grown dog's tail is about a $3,000 procedure, it's only easy when they are pups. We were lucky Dr. Mann was here to help. He's since moved to California from what I've heard. As far as pricey, he wasn't. That whole procedure, x-rays and everything, was only about $300.00. Read Less
