Dr. Rattan is FANTASTIC!! I read a number of extraordinary reviews about him on Yahoo. As a result, I decided to take my dog to see him. My dog had a loose infected tooth with black all around it that did not seem to clear up on the antibiotics my prior vet had given me. That vet said the tooth did not need to be pulled. But, to me, it didn't make sense to leave an infected loose tooth that seemed to have a space where food could accumulate. And my dog was in pain. Dr. Rattan took one look at the tooth and said it was dead. It should be pulled so the other teeth would not be jeopardized. There was no hard sell though & as far as cost, he is more than reasonable. I was very nervous about the surgery (anesthesia), but Dr. Rattan & his staff (esp. Richard, who is also great) were extremely patient with me. They explained everything, answered all my questions, and handled my dog in a way that communicated genuine care for animals. I wish I had found him years ago.
