After weeks of struggling it was unfortunately time for my dog to stop fighting yesterday. She has never formed an attachment with a vet or vets office and I didn’t want to wait for an appointment so I drove here instead - preferring ultimately not to associate that day with my local regular vet.To say the doctor, Gina DiPasquale, showed up for me is a massive understatement. She had never seen me or my dog before- no one here had - and she was sincere, patient, empathetic, respectful, and every single thing I needed in that moment.Her care was experienced and ready but nothing about her attitude was blasé or routine despite how heartbreakingly often she must face this as vet at an emergency clinic. I cannot be more grateful that my first pet loss as an adult was here given how kindly I was treated.
