Your comments or additional information:
The entire SAGE Center for Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Care is a top notch operation. Over the years, we have seen a couple of the surgeons for various issues. But the person to see for IVDD is Christina Vitale. She is the only Neurology specialist in the entire bay area, so she may be hard to get in with. But if you relay your dogs urgent symptoms, they WILL get you in immediately. Dr. Vitale and her OR nurse Shiela Renee were over the top knowledgeable, helpful, understanding, polite, and any other positive adjective you can think of. They made themselves available to me 24/7, or if they weren't available, I knew who to call. We had an emergency situation with our bichon, who became hind legs paralyzed in a matter of hours. We got an emergency MRI and Dr. Vitale did surgery that evening. I can't understand the stories I hear of regular vets who don't know that much about IVDD, so all I can say is, I'm forever grateful and thankful for SAGE. My fluff is now 5 weeks post op, and is back to his normal self, with only a trace of weakness in the back right leg.
