I adopted Daisy last Fall; she was 7 years old from what they could estimate. Her teeth had some wearing down that I had never experienced with any of my other past 7 dogs. I initially went to the (another veterinary dentist in the drivable area); received a consultation and scheduled an appointment to have her taken in; knocked out and have her teeth and mouth examined to see if there was anything going on, not noticeable to the naked eye. The appointment was set for about 6 weeks out. A few days before her appointment I called to see if they determined what time they needed me to bring her in. I was told no, that it probably wouldn’t be until the afternoon as they had geriatrics booked in the morning. I was not comfortable with not allowing her to eat anything since midnight before until some time in the afternoon when they “thought” they would call me. I said then let me schedule another day, and they said that didn’t matter as they could not guarantee a morning appointment. I don’t know about you but when I book as far out as 6 weeks or so and then still put on a list to call the day of, it does not sit right with me. So I cancelled the appointment and called Dr. Hall’s office and Cristal, told her my dilemma. She was my first encounter with the Animal Dental Clinic. She totally understood and told me a morning appointment that we could take. I am so glad the (other veterinary dentist) appointment didn’t work out- Dr. Hall is amazing. You can tell he truly cares about every single pet he sees. When you go in, Cristal greets the pet(s) first to help them feel comfortable. Dr. Hall was the same way; he walks into the examining room and immediately gets down on the floor or the dog’s level and bonds with the animal. He is extremely intelligent but able to break down any procedure or dental explanation so you can understand it. With close to 30 years experience, volunteering at the DC Zoo working on dental issues with wild animals, he is still very down to earth, and you can see in his demeanor he truly loves animals. And to top it all off- when I went to check out, I was surprised to see my bill was about half of what the (other veterinary dentist) wanted to charge. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Hall. If he did people teeth, I would let him do mine as well. Dr. Hall, keep up the good work and God Speed!
