Dr. Hall is a compassionate professional operating in a relatively rare subspecialty of veterinary medicine. His passion lies in your animal's oral health and comfort, first, and foremost. The first thing he did when he walked into the exam room was to greet my cat by getting on his level and to commence building initial trust, Major points for this!! In addition to his office practice in Vienna, be's worked on a plethora of exotic species, and uses his gifts via volunteer work as well Disclaimer: Dr. Hall may deliver news about, your pet's dental needs which may, at first, be hard to digest, or will be shocking. To quote him, he opens Pandora's Box every day. I brought, my cat Alastair in for what I thought, would be a status quo consult, radiography screen, and cleaning. I proceeded to learn that my precious cat was in advanced stages of tooth resorption, and he had many teeth already missing, and bad no functional teeth which worked together productively. The recommendation was a full mouth extraction of the teeth he had left, and that "be'd be much happier toothless. At first, I thought, I'd need a spatula to peel myself off The floor. I implore anyone, in this situation who has brought, his or her beloved animal to Dr. Hall to trust his professional judgment. If he comes across curt, it is because he knows his stuff and sincerely wants to heal your animal He is NOT trying to be pushy, scare you, or rob you blind. I took time while Dr. Hall put Alastair under anesthesia and did the radiography to research Alastair's condition a bit more, while recovering from my initial shock, and quickly concluded Dr. Hall had hit the nail on the head. I authorized the full mouth extractions, learning a domesticated animal can easily live a high-quality life without teeth, and even gum crunchy treats or food once healed! Dr. Hall did a beautiful job with the surgery. Post surgical consult, with both him and his (receptionist) Kim was thorough and comprehensive, including full transparency of aftercare instructions and review of radiography results. He called the following AM, again, very patiently going through concerns, including the fact, Alastair had removed his pain patch overnight, Dr. Hall called my primary vet, right, away to call in oral pain meds to ascertain Alastair didn't miss a beat pain med wise. Alastair has two post surgical consults lined up as well. Long story short, you may not hear from Dr. Hall what you want to hear about your animal, but you will definitely bear what you need to hear. His care is worth every penny and ounce of your trust
