My family and I are truly grateful to Dr. Lyman and the staff. If it wasn't for Dr. Lyman and Dr. Wasserman our Riley would not be here today, there is no doubt in my mind! We were originally going to another local emergency vet that diagnosed her with IMHA in May 2020, the vet there was basically just guessing and keeping her on a regimen that was slowly killing her. She was wasting away and developed horrific sores from the prednisone that the vet there was keeping her on, she just kept saying "we'll just keep doing what we're doing". Finally, I couldn't keep doing what we were doing, I made an appointment at Animal Emergency & Referral Center. Dr. Wasserman originally saw Riley and right away changed her meds and ran many tests to find out the root of her problem. Come to find out, she had hookworms! A basic test that the other vet did not do. I believe if they would of done that test Riley wouldn't of endured the amount of pain and suffering that she did. Dr. Lyman then became her primary vet because he is very familiar with IMHA. He was so kind and explained everything so that we could understand what to expect each step of the way. She went to see them in August and by September/October she was 100% back to her old self. She is only 3 years old, we knew she had so much more life to live with us. We can't thank them enough!
