Dr Thomas Mackowiak is an excellent surgeon. When at the Sandy river on Saturday afternoon, some careless person threw a big river rock for the dogs to fetch and my dog tried to catch it which shattered his front canine. It was a really scary situation and we drove in from the Sandy River and found the Banfield Pet Hospital conveniently located right off I-84 and NE 82nd. Dr Mackowiak explained the risks but also let me know that he felt very confident that he could do this very difficult surgery for us. My neighborhood vet does not provide emergency services and there was no one to discuss it with, so I had to make a judgement call and I felt I could trust him. The next day, he skillfully removed my dog's shattered canine tooth most of which was below the jawline in a four hour surgery which ran the risk of breaking his jaw however, with his soft but precise touch, Dr Mackowiak saved my dog's jaw. And the cost was completely reasonable. I would highly recommend Dr. Mackowiak and his team at Banfield Pet Hospital. And please, dogs cannot catch rocks!
