"I can’t recommend Dr. Hirsch and AEC enough. I found myself encountering an ophthalmology concern with my dog, Ava, and called on a Friday morning to ask if they had same day appointments. The team was able to fit me in and their website provided all the further information I needed. "
"Very impressed with the time Dr. Sommerkamp took to explain the problems my Raven is having with her eyes. She then explained there was a solution and how we would go about the process of helping her. Very nice staff and reasonable pricing."
