Ophthalmology For Animals - Ann Gratzek DVM, Aptos CA

This place is amazing. The doctors and staff are so incredibly kind. They really know how to handle nervous dogs and make it as calming and positive of an experience for them as possible, and I feel confident in the doctor's expertise. Even though there's an opthalmologist closer to me in the SF Bay area, this place was able to get me in sooner, which we really appreciated because my regular vet at first was concerned that my dog had cancer in his eyes. Fortunately, he has a different, non-cancerous condition that is able to easily be managed. The eye drops they prescribed cleared everything up and have maintained his eye health for the last couple of years now. But even though we're at a place now where we could transfer to an ophthalmologist that is closer, we're just so happy with this place that it's totally worth the trip for us.

As scary going to an ophthalmologist may be, I’m always happy when I take my puppets here. Dr Gratzek is amazing. When we took our pupper in for an eye appointment, she mentioned that the dog might have a heart murmur and to get it checked out. Who knows how much time she added for us to have with our Boston terrier.
