Michael D Anderson, DVM – Animal Hospital of Orange Grove

I’ve been a client of Dr. Anderson at Animal Hosipital of Orange Grove for years and he is phenomenal. At his facility, I know all of my pets are in safe, caring and capable hands no matter what kind of problem my pet is having. Take the time to check out his hospital. You will love Dr. Anderson and his staff!
Before I came to Dr. Anderson, I took my first weim Groovy to a different vet whose name I won’t mention. I showed him a lump on Groovy and he examined it and said, «come back tomorrow and I will remove it for $ 50.» I asked how will I find out what it is. This vet from ANOTHER hospital told me that I could go to a different vet and they would probably charge me a lot more to send off to get histopath results, but if I wanted it removed, come back tomorrow. A few days later, I visited Dr. Anderson. I arranged to have the lump removed and he would send it off to find out what it was. Yes, this cost more than $ 50, but here’s where it gets interesting. During surgery, Dr. Anderson found another lump that I had not seen and he removed that one too. He sent both of them off to find out what they were. I later found out that each lump was a different kind of cancer. With Dr. Anderson’s help, Groovy was treated for both kinds of cancer and lived an additional 5 years. Thank goodness for Dr. Anderson. If I had listened to the other vet, Groovy would have been dead years sooner.
The moral of this story is you get what you pay for, and if you are looking for the cheapest vet, please don’t always expect that vet to be the best vet.
