Review of Veterinary Surgery Service

First of all, I know this is going to be long....My cat Emerald had a visit with our normal Veternarian, but she needed an ultrasound to determine the cause of her distended abdomen. We were referred to Dr Wight s office and that was the best thing that could ve ever happened! Dr Wight and his staff are by far some of the kindest people I have met! When I called and explained the situation they were able to work me in to the schedule less than 2 hours later. My husband and I were extremely impressed when we walked in at how nice the facility was- it is very well maintained, super clean and felt very inviting. We were brought back to an exam room where Emerald was scanned for a microchip (something I had never seen done at a Vet s office before), weighed and we explained our concerns- which consisted of an extremely low hematocrit level 9 vs. between 40-45. Dr Wight came in following a surgical procedure he was performing to explain the ultrasound, what it was he was going to be looking for, etc. After the ultrasound, Dr Wight spent the next 20 min talking to my husband and I about what he found and the best course of action for our cat- she needed a blood transfusion and surgery to remove a mass that was causing the blood loss into her abdomen. His staff searched for and located cat blood to do a blood transfusion for Emerald that night! She needed to have surgery but would be unable to do so unless her hematocrit levels were higher. Mind you, this was 5:00 yet they stayed to take care of our baby! Following her blood transfusion, Dr Wight whisked her into surgery to remove the mass that had grown on the corner of her liver as well as two small spots that he identified in her abdomen. He called us after surgery to let us know how everything went and how Emerald was doing. Dr Wight text me at 11:00 PM to send me a picture of my cat and to give me an update- which was completely unexpected! I sincerely could not have been more impressed and pleased with the care we received. I only wish he did routine veterinary care! Lastly, realizing I forgot to grab Emerald s pain medicine when we left, Dr Wight offered to bring it to my house in Navarre to save me a trip. Hands down, I would recommend his clinic to anyone that needs specialty care or diagnostic services. You won t be sorry you went!
