Testimonial for Dr. Farid Saleh-Ehrlich Animal Hospital
This is a heartfelt testimonial for someone who is not only a phenomenal veterinarian, but a wonderful, caring individual. Dr. Farid Saleh has been our household veterinarian for about a year now. We started going to him with our dog, Ally, and we go to him for our puppy, Marcy. Dr. Saleh met Ally when we took her in to see if we could get her eye mole removed. She had it there for a long time, previous vets informed us that it was not a problem, but it had gotten large and seemed like it was bothering her. When we first took her in, the entire office was wonderful with her. She enjoyed her visit very much (just like Marcy does every time!). Prior to getting the mole removed, however, they had to take blood to make sure she was okay for surgery.
Unfortunately, the levels in her blood were off, indicating what could be serious problem. We took her in for x-rays to check to see what the problem was, and it was discovered that she had a massive tumor in her spleen that had spread to her lungs. She was given a few months. This was heartbreaking news.
During the next week or so, I contacted Dr. Saleh several times with many questions about what to expect. He was up-front with me, but also very soothing and comforting. And more importantly than that, is that he was always available. If I called and he was with another patient, he contacted me soon thereafter.
Ally was fortunate to live longer than anticipated, but as Dr. Saleh indicated would happen, her decline came rapidly, and we knew it was time. My husband took her in to put her down. He has previously experienced this emotional task, and he told me that Dr. Saleh was by far the best that he'd seen. Dr. Saleh made sure Ally was comfortable, giving her many treats (which she surprisingly ate, even though she wouldn't eat for days prior), and when the time came, he informed my husband how it was going to happen, and she went peacefully. He told me that he was very impressed with how the entire office treated him (and Ally). Dr. Saleh really made an awful situation a bit easier to endure. While it was by no means easy, it speaks volumes to me that my husband mentioned that he noticed such a big difference with Ehrlich Animal Hospital.
The part that seemed to really amaze me was when a few days later, flowers came addressed to our family with condolences from Ehrlich Animal Hospital and a card from Dr. Saleh. He wrote a note to our family about Ally. It was handwritten and heartfelt, and I can't even begin to express how grateful we are. This is not something we have ever experienced. It seems to be the way that Ehrlich Animal Hospital does things –always going above and beyond. The staff is always wonderful, and they don't come any better than Dr. Saleh.
With heartfelt thanks…

My 4 year old iguana suffered burns from overhead lighting about 2 months ago. Dr Saleh and Dr Danielson both treated him with the most loving and expert care I coulsd possibly ask for. I just wanted to say that this is the most professional, affordable and friendly staff I have ever seen in any office. I'm recommending you to every exotic pet owner I know. Thank you again doctors and staff. You'll be seeing more of Blanka the friendly Green Iguana in the months and years to come.
