This week’s review acknowledges Dr. Williams and the team at Kindred Heart Animal Hospital. Well done!
“Dr. Williams is the best. My cat hercules has a very rare condition “pectus excavatum” that many vets would call a VERY challenging case and most I called wouldnt even attemp to fix. His ribs and spine were severely deformed and would need surgery. Dr.Williams took in hercules and i’ve never felt so safe with my pet in anyone’s hands as I did with Dr. Williams, whenever hercules has an appointment her and her team constantly update me on how he’s doing which calms my nerves so much. I watched my kitty go from a shy kitty that hated to be touched to a loving kitty whos happier than every thanks to Dr. Williams making him feel so much better after surgery, and hes not even done with treatment yet! I would suggest everyone to not think twice when coming here, you are in EXCELLENT hands 🙂“
