I can’t recommend Dr Ichord enough - he’s kind, honest, and always recommends the most cost effective treatment options. We bring our 2 dogs to him, my parents have been seeing him with their dog for years, and I recently found out two of my friends also see Dr Ichord for their pets. I always feel confident I’m getting the best care for my dogs at a fair price.
Dr. Smollen walked into the lobby because she overheard my distress about her finding a mast cell tumor on my little Bailey. She offered to do a complete tumor removal right then, no appointment! The lab confirmed that Dr. Smollen had removed the cancer with clean biopsy borders! Bailey also had her 14 day stitches removed and it suture was very clean and smooth! I’m absolutely thrilled with what they’ve done for Bailey and me:)
I have been a customer for the past few years, and I can say that I have never felt such kindness from a vet before. I recently had to say goodbye to a dear pet, and the team was so wonderful. Dr. Ichord was truly amazing and sympathetic. They made the experience as comfortable as possible and even sent me a condolence card.
