Read What People Are Saying About Avondale!
Below are
actual testimonials from some of our clients. We want to share
with you what they have to say about Avondale Veterinary Healthcare
Complex and our caring staff, technicians and administrative pet
care team.
This article
appeared in the May 20th edition
of the “Des Moines Register”
newspaper.
"Dear Dr. Gilmore:
First of all, I want to thank
you for the extraordinary care
and compassion you gave to our
Lilly and our family during the
final year of her life--right
through her final minutes and
the time beyond. You can't
imagine how much I appreciated
your caring, yet honest
appraisal of Lilly's health and
your support of our family's
decisions regarding Lilly's
care.
Lilly did get to spend some
wonderful final months with us
in pretty good health after you
prescribed some meds to help her
after the diagnosis of her
congestive heart failure. She
really did have more pep and
certainly ate better. We were
able to share many more tummy
rubs, short walks and playtimes
with her "babies". I so
appreciated the tenderness I
felt from everyone at Avondale -
from the staff at the front desk
that day, to the techs and
especially you. Hugs and
supportive words were
plentiful. Even another
customer who sensed what I was
going to experience as I waited
for our appointment gave me some
rubs on the back and comforting
words. Hearing "Lilly was such
a good girl" meant a lot.
Probably the most tender memory
I will have of that entire
heart-wrenching experience
involved a moment that I'm sure
you never realized what an
impact you were having. After
Lilly had passed away, I went to
answer a phone call from my
daughter at the front desk since
I had forgotten my cell phone at
home. The door to the exam room
was open as I told my daughter
about the last moments with
Lilly. There I saw you, with
reddened eyes, gently petting
our beautiful Lilly as she
rested silently on that blue
towel. You didn't know I was
watching. To me, that moment
showed the true love you must
have for your profession even
under the most heartbreaking
circumstances. I certainly
sensed that Lilly had touched
your soul.
Please extend my thanks to all
at Avondale for the care they
gave Lilly from the second day
she came into our lives until
her final moments. We were
blessed. My best wishes to
you and to all your animal
friends, especially the ones who
have found a loving home with
you."
Sincerely,
Sue Evans
“I suggest you try Avondale
Veterinary Healthcare Complex in
Des Moines - they are
wonderful!!! I personally see
Dr. Christie Carlo there for our
dog. I know her very well.
She's amazing! She has treated
my lab for liver disease and
also did the surgery to repair
our sheep's jaw last summer
after she got kicked by one of
our horses. I would highly
recommend her and Avondale -
they are AWESOME and
reasonable!!!”
