Everyone here is always so nice and reassuring. Always answers the questions we have. Most importantly they are always so patient with my sometimes grumpy cat. They are simply the best.

I recently took our cocker spaniel for her annual check up with Dr. Lisa Colgan and her team. As always, the quality of the experience was impeccable –– punctual, efficient, thorough, knowledgeable, and caring. Our family has had several veterinarians over the years and have found all of them to have many of the same qualities, but none stand out to the extent that NRAH does. As I reflected later on the visit, I asked myself what it was that was so different about this particular veterinary practice and recalled an incident from my childhood in the 1950s and 60s growing up in a Boston suburb. My father had established a very successful pediatric practice and was beloved by virtually everyone in town. I asked him once what a typical patient visit was like and he told me that it was usually about 15 minutes long, spending about five minutes doing checks and tests on the child and 10 minutes counseling the parent. He saw his mission as encompassing the total health of the patient in the context of his or her family and his belief that a knowledgeable and perceptive parent would be instrumental in having a healthy child. Beyond that, the informed parent was likely to gain confidence and to project a sense of security and well-being that was picked up by the child and which no doubt would support his or her overall health and well-being. Which brings me back to Dr. Lisa and her team. First, she physically sat on the floor petting our dog and conducted the exam in a manner that was soothing rather than threatening or disconcerting to her. Her diagnosis was detailed and nuanced, displaying both a great deal of technical knowledge and sensitivity to her patient. But she also spent time with the “parent“ discussing the dog’s general condition, explaining her need for certain dietary and medication changes and sharing various other perceptive insights that were helpful for her owners. Likewise, Dr. Lisa’s team members did much the same in their various roles, and it was clear that the communication and coordination among the group was intrinsic to the high quality of their care. Overall, the visit was extremely successful, in part because our dog received an excellent report on her health and also because her “parent” left the session more knowledgeable and carrying less stress, two factors that one hopes will contribute to a long and happy life for our pup. Bottom line: NRAH is exceptional in every respect.
