Brought in my 3 yr old guy tonight after he got a hold of one of my medications-- I had called the ASPCA poison control center and they said bring him to a vet asap. As we were leaving home he was starting to show behavioral signs that he definitely wasn't himself and I was pretty worried. Front office staff at LIVS were calm and friendly on the phone and in person. When we arrived my boy was seen almost immediately. Dr Lieberman was nothing short of phenomenal. Before I knew the prognosis I told her point blank I absolutely adore this dog do WHATEVER must be done for him. (I realized later I had essentially just handed over a verbal figurative blank check-- but faced with the situation I genuinely felt like money was something I would handle later.) After he was fully evaluated it was determined that he was (Thank goodness) NOT in a critical situation but should be carefully monitored for the night. Dr Lieberman came into the room and explained all of my options and that he was stable enough to go home. She explained he could be monitored in the ICU overnight but it would be at least $2,000+ and the medicine he had eaten was extremely unlikely to cause any permanent damage. She could have easily walked into the room and just told me he needed to stay there overnight and I would have not even questioned it. But Dr. Lieberman didn't do that -- she was direct and honest---and since he essentially was safe and just needed a close "mom-eye" monitoring him for the night I brought him home and saved THOUSANDS of dollars. And not only was Dr Lieberman honest, thoughtful and thoroughly comprehensive in my boys care and evaluation, she actually took the time to completely explain the biochemistry at a cellular level to me --exactly WHY the overdose of this particular medication was not dangerous.
Overall my experience with LIVS was outstanding. Dr. Lieberman is a living example of a truly extraordinary vet with awesome doggy AND people skills. I genuinely don't believe my boy or I could have been treated with more care, thought, kindness or honesty. A+ --- 5 stars.
