I asked them about it and they got a little testy so we just never returned many hundreds of dollars later for a scraped leg. The office is tiny and no-frills at Park Heights but the care is great.
Last year when we had a tumor removed from our golden's belly, it was very tough to heal because how was he going to sit without sitting on it? It took many weeks to heal, and many re-visits to change the bandage. There was never a charge for the re-visits. This year, with the upcoming fusion surgery, we have been back three or four times to have the splint examined. Also no charge.

It is a no-frills waiting/examining room area, but as Redwitch has stated, the equipment in the back is state of the art. We are very happy with them.
