  Nice vet and cares about the animals. More expensive than other local vets, but unfortunately not more of an expert in cats despite being exclusive to them. Stopped taking my cat here after was diagnosed with diabetes. This vet had me using urine strips to test his diabetes levels rather than blood sugar testing and if you ask pretty much any other vet they will tell you urine testing is wholly inaccurate (which is why it is not used on humans). I was told diabetes was in remission and to stop insulin treatment and to check his urine sugar levels weekly. I could not tell based on the urine strips how he was doing and told them that, but they did not seem concerned. He ended up getting DKA and the hospital bill cost me $5000. I took him to this vet just before taking him to the hospital and he was only there for one hour and had a blood test and it cost me $250. She told me to either take him to the hospital or put him down. Told me my cat was complicated. The hospital brought him back to health and I took him to a different local vet who recommended changing his diet to high protein-low carb and doing frequent blood sugar curves. The cat is now doing much better and his diabetes is almost in remission. The Cat Doctor seems to check fructosamine levels rather than glucose, I was told by another vet that checking fructosamine is not the most up to date way of testing. Asked the vet to help compensate me for the expensive hospital bills because I felt like this was partially their fault. I was refused. I will be avoiding this vet in the future and advise the same unless you want to pay more money and only have simple things done. There are other local vet clinics with more expertise in the area.
