Not all veterinarians are created equal!\r
\r
Has your vet ever called you on a Saturday to discuss lab results from his home because it was just that important?\r
\r
Has your vet not only asked about your pets but asked of other people in your family?\r
\r
Has your vet ever told you that you were traversing a road you previously stated you did not want to go down; even though you were intent on doing everything possible to prolong the life of your suffering pet?\r
\r
Is your veterinarian confident enough to say ""This is beyond my scope of practice and you'd be better served elsewhere?""\r
\r
Does your vet listen with an open mind as you state that ""something just isn't right,"" and try to figure it out? Or does you vet pretend to listen while set in their ways and agenda?\r
\r
Does your vet always tell you your options so that you can make an informed decision regarding your pets health keeping your finances in mind rather than just their own? Or does your vet just tell you what needs to be done and expect you to acquiese to their recommendations and cough up the money?\r
\r
My vet is compassionate, down to earth, no nonsense, no bars held, intelligent, caring, knowledgable of new or vogue procedures but maintains a ""do the least to acheive the maximum benefit"" model of care.\r

As a pet owner of dogs and cats for 30 years, I have come across my fair share of vets. For the last 12 years, I have been to Dr. Greg Stanchfield exclusively. I can't imagine going elsewhere! My daughter is a certified vet tech elsewhere and tops in her field, BUT I know when I walk in to Cornell Center Animal Hospital I will be treated like a welcome guest not a walking wallet. I cannot imagine taking my pets anywere else but Cornell Center Animal Hospital. His staff is friendly, knowledgable and are as dedicated to the best treatment of animals as Dr. Stanchfield himself. I know that despite how busy they may be, I will never feel rushed, or made to feel that I am inconveniencing them.\r

As a doula, (professional labor support) I come in contact with many families whose first babies are their pets. When I am asked about a ""good vet"" I ALWAYS recommend Cornell Center Animal Hospital hands down!
