State: Colorado Hospital: VCA Veterinarian Specialists of Northern Colorado- Dr. Amy Komitor
Address: 201 West 67th Court Loveland, CO 80538
Cost: $6500 Date of surgery: 11-3-16 What was included in cost: 3 days of medical boarding, MRI (2 locations due to suspicion of additional disc degeneration), Surgery, Medications- including take home, a very thorough aftercare package, follow up with PT veterinarian Comments: I would absolutely recommend Dr. Amy Komitor. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and does a great job of explaining things in lay men's terms. The entire time Sundance was being treated at the "regular" vet, I felt uncomfortable. After speaking with Dr. Komitor I felt much more at ease because it was obvious she knew a lot about IVDD and had treated many dogs with this condition. The surgery took several hours because the disc was granular and she took the time necessary to do what needed to be done. I really wish that I had taken Sundance to her immediately upon IVDD diagnosis, and if necessary, she will be consulted about any suspect disc episodes that may occur in the future. Also the surgery turned out to be lower than what was quoted, so that is of course a bonus.
