Literally, A Life Saver

Dr. Beardsley is one of the many talented vets at the Specialty Hospital. My regular vet saw a fuzzy growth on my dogs x-ray when rechecking him after a previous surgery. She was positive it was bone cancer and was preparing me for grim news. I got the referral for Dr. Beardsley who looked at the x-ray and immediately said she did't believe it was cancer. She did a biopsy to be sure... and yes, it was negative. (I no longer use the original vet.) Dr Beardsley is by-referral only although I wish she'd see my dogs as regular patients. Zeus has (unfortunately) had several surgeries there since the original biopsy as well as 8 months of physical therapy. ..So I've been there frequently and for very stressful situations. EVERYONE (Drs, therapists, assistants) are caring and friendly and EFFICIENT. The facility has everything you can think of (MRI, CAT scan, underwater treadmill... you name it.)
