I asked what procedure for mouth stomitis they would use since i was getting a second opinion because the vet that diagnosed her was 30 miles closer. Here is what I received
: "Cold laser therapy is going to reduce inflammation in the area, and it may relieve some pain, but it certainly isn't going to reverse the damage. The only truly curative procedure for stomatitis is to remove all of the teeth.
Until that time the best treatments are usually steroids and pain control. Please note this surgery is generally quite expensive (3 to 4 thousand dollars) and the healing time cam be prolonged depending on how severe the disease has progressed (several months on steroids post surgery). Just giving you full disclosure."
$3000 to $4000 dollars? Is really taking advantage of people. Unbelievable.

Absolutely exceptional service and care. The receptionists are very kind. From the time you walk into the time they bring you to an exam room and the doctor walks inthe wait is maybe 30 seconds max. They are on the ball. I was very pleased with their fair prices. The lobby as well as the exam rooms are very clean. TCM is big on being a stress free environment and that they do very well! Dr. Irving is absolutely amazing!
She is thorough, caring and very knowledgeable. She explains everything in great detail and always makes sure that all of my questions are answered. I know my baby is in the best of care while at TCM. I am so so appreciative of the entire staff. I highly highly highly recommend this office as well as Dr. Irving. TCM have lifetime customers.

Dr. Follman and Natalie were amazing with my feral cat. This was her first time going to the vet so naturally I was very anxious. The staff handled her so well and now I'm bringing my other cat. If you've ever had issues with taking your cat to the vet, this is the place you want to go to! Also, they are up-front about the costs. In my experience, the costs are comparable to other vets I have gone to. They are very fair.

The best kitty vets anywhere. Saved my fur babbies numerous times from dire situations, easy to refill meds, always friendly, always able to fit us in their busy schedules. Can't be thankful enough to have a great vet clinic that specializes only in Feline care.

We recently had to put our 16 year old kitty to sleep at this location. They were very kind and patient with all of our questions as we struggled to accept the reality that he had cancer and it was his time to go. They gave us all the time we needed to think it over. My job as a mental health counselor is a spa day compared to the emotional labor required of these ladies. We were very grateful for the kind and patient treatment and that they were able to extend Samuel's life as long as possible.

I was recommended by my sister, and I must say I am very impressed by their professionalism. My cat needed emergency care, due to some large bloody holes on him. We called them and they very nice and honest. They said they were booked up, but we can drop him off and they will check him out. Upon drop off they were super prepared and had my pets info. already. We dropped him off and not even an hour and a half later, I got a call and he was already done.
Another thing is they gave me options that would be comfortable for not only me, but my cat as well. But the best thing they offer me is peace of mind that my pet will be taken care of. Oh, and the prices are fantastic. Thank you guys so much, for being an amazing staff and being so diligent.
