Dr, Tolley came right out when I called and this was the first time I had ever spoken to this vet hospital.. He was efficient, kind, thorough, and touched all bases with my mini horse,, I was so happy with the results, he offered to do a blood draw to make sure my little guy was ok, I was glad he thought to do it. My horse is fine, and with each thing he checked, my peace of mind returned. Thank you so much. well worth the money!!
