We made our first visit to Accent on Cats this week after trying to make a priority appointment with our usual veterinary clinic. One of our cats seemed to need immediate care. Though we could have taken her to the usual vet the same day, it would have been almost 8 hours before she could be seen. So, we drove across town (a 22-mile round trip) because we’d heard good things about Dr. Voelkel’s clinic and he was able to see her right away. Dr. Voelkel was able to determine our kitty’s problem very quickly. Both he and his assistant impressed me very much with their professionalism, and particularly with their gentle and skillful handling of a cat who has been infamously difficult in other hands – a real terror! Dr. Voelkel gave me a thorough and understandable explanation of his diagnosis and treatment, and clear instructions for care at home and follow-up. In spite of the longer trip to the doctor, this very touchy kitty recovered much more quickly than usual from the experience. Two days afterward her condition has noticeably improved and she is no longer in pain. I am very happy with all aspects of her care at Accent on Cats. For once I do not dread our next visit to the vet with this kitty, and it will definitely be to Dr. Voelkel’s clinic.
