Vet: Dr. Sarah Kennedy Clinic: Florida Veterinary League Addresss: 1360 US HWY1, Suite 1 Vero Beach, FL 32960 Dr Kennedy is a general vet I believe, she has taken courses on Laser therapy recently, not sure about her other certifications, I will check and update later. But the practice has 5-6 vets on staff and they are all certified in various things, I know Dr Wilson is certified in acupuncture. Cost of visits: We are established to the base price for a visit is 35$. Dr Kennedy is very pro conservative/alternative treatment, we never once discussed surgery. We decided to do laser therapy and they charge $220 for 6 sessions and each session includes a short visit with the vet to confirm the treatment is working. They are truly caring individuals who put the pets needs and the owners pocketbook before their egos. They work with you to make the care the best for your pet and within your means. Though Dr Kennedy is not strictly trained with IVDD she is very knowledgeable and willing to hear you out and take your suggestions into consideration. Like I said there are other vets on staff that she can consult with also. I did have an estimate on a Hemilectomy from a specialist in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, closer to where I live, she gave me an estimate of $4800. That was the low end estimate and didn't include after surgical care. That was about $2000 more. We decided to leave that practice because they refused to assist me in a non surgical manner and suggested I "just put my dog down." If you are looking for a vet who is caring and willing to fight with you to make sure your dog ends up with the best possible outcome I would suggest the Vets at Florida Veterinary League. floridaanimalleague.com/ |
