Very kind and compassionate !! Precious was my sister's cat !( Dont let the name fool ya ) 😅 She been going to Broadwater for 19 yrs . For the past 3 yrs they would put her under to groom her in the summer because she had really long hair !! Recently Precious stopped eating at 19 yrs old ,It was a very heartbreaking decision for me and have her put to sleep !! Broadwater and her staff was extremely compassionate and caring .

Yes, the staff is friendly and polite. However after almost 2 years of my Cocker Spaniel suffering from constantly having right ear infections , treatment after treatments with ear drops and antibiotics and no relief in sight to stop these infections from recurring. I was always told the same thing Cockers have bad ears . She never once told me that there was an alternative to being constantly treated with antibiotics that my baby could benefit by to control and stop these infections. So I got a second opinion it was the Veterinarians at Valley view who told me their was another option and that was ear canal ablation surgery. She also told me the reason my dog was losing some of her hair was because Cockers have bad skin. Yet it was Doctor Redwine at Valleyview who did a blood panel and he told me it was her thyroid. Surgery was done for ear canal ablation CoCo my baby has been on Thyro tabs 0.7 mg twice daily. She is on her road to recovery. No more smell coming from her ear no more licking and itching no more shaking her her and no more going to Doctor Broadwater . The cost was well worth it and I highly recommend Valley view. I saved all my receipts over the past two years of constant treatment cost for that ear and all the infections she has had in it and I put out more money for the treatments than the cost of that surgery. This should have been done a long time ago as to avoid all the suffering my baby has been through. Two stars for Doctor Broadwater and changing the 5 stars to give Doctor Redwine a 10 star rating at Valley View. Cheryl Walls
