If you need immediate & caring attention, then Run to Dr. Wood. Unconventional, Different. Yes. Although different in multiple positive ways, far out weighing the negative! Additionally he informes you before you begin, of his limitations. Relates them to your animals needs, and suggests where you might be better served, if it be the case. Before meeting him, the Dr. held 2 hour long phone consultations with me. Suggested what I might need that he did not have. ...Now, I adopted an 11 yr. old cat from the H.Society. Went to 6 ( all) local vets, as I am a Senior and must use taxi's.. All gave a shot of Antibiotics, claimed her bad teeth were her issue & now they are ALL pulled. Each charged Double of what Dr. Wood did! ..She was 90% bald, sores covering her body, swollen, angry red. She went from 11 lbs, to under 5. Pain prevented eating. The seizures started. I Knew her "issue" & it was Not "spread infection from dental plaque to her body from cleaning" As all claimed w/a cursory glance. No examination! To clarify, I wash her Nightly, w-water, and not an insect to be found. ( she is white.) ......Dr Wood, took stool, ear, samples & studied them. He sprung into action. Dealing with her many 'symptoms, that would have killed her by nights end. . He gave her a cocktail of badly needed meds. & different meds, to follow up with at home.. BTW: my 1st. visit interrupted his Thanksgiving Dinner & he agreed to see her around Midnight. As I cannot find a way to travel to a large city & a bigger, equipped clinic, Dr. Wood has been keeping her alive by treating her symptoms. He was presented w/a Senior cat, exhibiting multiple, serious issues & dealt perfectly with each one. Closely aware of being as minimally invasive, or causing discomfort to Louise.. He listens, Really listens. Asks many questions, . Gives proper and detailed ( writing down instructions, as my memory fails me.) advice of continuing care. He "works with me" as to payment. Not 'money hungry at all..!! I can & have called him, at any hour, and he is there for me. His concern for my cat is plain to see, his furrowed brow, in his gentle touch, suggesting I cover her in between his administering care, to prevent a chill. Yes, in this rural community, owning a house and a clinic, close, is the norm that Iv'e seen. So every point that has been made, is true. Although perception, and variables must be considered! Bottom line. This man may not win a personality contest ( yet I like him very much.). His Love for animals is evident. I respect, admire, am eternally grateful to Dr. James Wood, for taking Excellent care of, and saving my baby Weezy's life...!!! * Particularly when 6 others, the last seen 3 weeks prior, did not! * < He shrugged & said to each issue & plea to do something, "Ah, that's just the way she is" & charged my credit card w/o my knowledge an additional 250.00, on top of the 180 paid... *Go To Dr. Wood If You Want Real Help & Close Attention To Your Beloved Furbaby..!!!
