A Vet to Your Pet

Dr Helm has cared for our senior dog Lily several times in the past year. Dr Helm is informative, inquisitive and thorough. I highly recommend!

I have a cat who stresses terribly when he has to be transported in a carrier. Even sedation doesn’t help. I decided to try Dr. helm, and am so happy I did. She and her tech Tracy took wonderful care of my cat. He needed a wellness exam and shots, and some baseline blood work. They were gentle and caring, and Dr. Helm gave him a thorough exam. It was stress free for my cat, and me! I would definitely recommend her!

Dr Helm and her assistant Tracy were very accommodating- on very short notice when we were unable to get our Doberman in the car for vet care. They took time to thoroughly examine Max. When the bloodwork came back, Dr Helm explained all possibilities of what could be wrong and options for treatment. We ultimately determined that our boy was ready to cross the rainbow bridge. We never felt pressured and felt like we had all information explained to us in full by Dr Helm. She even called us from a personal appointment on a Saturday to discuss tests results. I highly recommend this compassionate team.

I have been going back and forth about writing this review. But due to the fact that this keeps me up nearly every single night still, after 3 months, I feel I owe justice to my cat Tuna - in honor of what would've been his 13th birthday. I had Dr. Helm and her assistant come to the house to euthanize him, as he was no longer able to use his back legs and eventually became incontinent - I felt it was easier on him to have a mobile vet come to the house and I wanted him to be in a comfortable environment. From the beginning of the visit, I regretted the decision. First, she wanted her assistant to hold him while she injected the initial medication to put him to sleep. I had to tell her instead that I wanted to hold him for this part, as I knew he wouldn't remember anything after that point,

I am posting in response to Danielle Neal's review. All her communications with us were to schedule an appointment for an in home euthanasia. When we accommodated her request to reschedule, so the whole family could be there, to the next morning, she never said it wasn't to euthanize her dog. I always evaluate a pet before a euthanasia, I also have never had a client request a euthanasia for a well pet. So I was expecting we would probably be doing what she requested. So when she met us at the door I did have a sedative in a syringe because that is the first step...I did not bring in a euthanasia drug or anything else I needed to perform a euthanasia. The way the conversation was going I figured out that she had changed her mind and wanted us to evaluate her pet and asked her if that was
