A truly compassionate experience! We are SO glad we found Dr. Woerner at Tally Oaks, who treats both our cats and pups! Her bedside manner, knowledge and options for treatment are top notch and I never feel pressured to select a treatment, she works with us through each situation. For instance, when our pup Kiara over-played and got a muscular injury in her shoulder, Dr. Woerner worked gently through her pain, her fearfulness of strangers and helped us decide on laser therapy treatments with acupuncture instead of just pumping drugs into her and hoping for the best. Kiara is a very fearful dog and it was wonderful to be able to just sit on the floor with Dr. Woerner while she did Kiara’s treatments and have Kiara just relax and enjoy the appointment. She REALLY loved the combination of the laser and acupuncture and I’m SO thrilled that I was presented with ALL my options, not just shots to wait/see if that worked which would further traumatize my pup. With each passing treatment Kiara was more and more ready to just walk right in the office and lay on the floor for her laser and she LOVED it. I cannot recommend Tally Oaks/Dr. Woerner enough, I feel like she hears our concerns, does thorough exams and treatments and isn’t just after our money but is really and truly trying to find the best way to relieve an animal of their pain and help them feel better. It’s reassuring to know when I call her that she a) actually knows who I am, b) knows which pet I’m talking to her about and c) is genuinely interested in making sure we get to the bottom of whatever their issues are and in the case of Kiara with this shoulder injury ~ she was incredibly honest about the difficulty of really pinpointing muscular injuries but how each and every treatment could impact/progress the healing process. That meant the world to me!
