Dr. Mayland is one of a kind. I have never had a vet so knowledgable about conventional and holistic care. He takes the time to explain and review each visit so you leave understanding your pet's treatment. He is both a talented surgeon and a caring individual who puts your pet's health first. He has gone out of his way for my three dogs and cat for years. He saved my friends dog's life by finally diagnosing correctly his ailment after years of expense and frustration at other practices. He's hip, he's kind, and I can't ever thank him or his talented staff enough for their help and guidance with my ancient pugs-who are only ancient because of his interventions. Don't bother with any other vet around- you have access to the best!!
