My family has the best doctor. We have been seeing him for the last 13 years. Is name is Dr. James Tapper in Fountain Valley, California.
When I have an appointment I never wait longer than 5 miniutes.
He is everything you would want in a doctor. Kind, empathetic, concerned about the whole family, aware of how each issue is effecting the household, and always deeply realistic.
If I call and leave a message on his off day I get a nurse calling me back and he is following up with advice shortly after. If I really need him he gives me his home number. If I need a house call, he has offered to accommodate, even though it places an obvious burden to him and his practice.
There is only one issue I have with with Dr. Tapper, that is he will only see my dog.
I am pretty sure we are basically the same but he seems stuck on the idea of not taking me as a patient. I guess I will have to settle with one member of my household at least getting great care.

I thinking you might want to try some dog buscuits in your diet. He maybe forced to see you then.
I live just up the freeway from this doctor and I got two cats and a dog. Just might be looking for a new Vet soon…
I’ve tried dog biscuits. Some actually have good stuff in them but pretty hard to eat.
Hope you do visit Dr. Tapper, he is great.
Ha! I can relate to this. It’s crazy to think our pets receive better service but it’s true!
