The first vet was very "matter of fact". He said my pet had an elevated calcium level and I should probably have it checked out in Tampa. When I got to the second vet, she took a quick look at him (again, she stayed after hours to wait for me) and immediately called the Emergency hospital in Leesburg. He needed IV hydration. Maybe there are others here who have had better experiences with the first vet. I however can not recommend them. It's great that we all have a choice in our pet's health care.
