TESTIMONIAL  Michelle, former technician for Dr. Crowe  "I worked for Dr. Crowe and have done many crops with her. She is a wonderful veterinarian. She treats every patient with complete love, compassion and empathy. She is a perfectionist when it comes to her crops. She is also wonderful with the pups for follow up visits. She has also fixed some badly done jobs and they came out so much better. I trust her more than any other veterinarian I’ve worked for. Bottom line is if you want it done the right way, take your pup here."
