Molly and Oscar have been patients of Dr. Tullio for several years. I have been very pleased with his careâ€š his expertiseâ€š and his understanding with my two Wheatens. Dr. Tullio has been quick to diagnose any issues and remedy all of the problems we’ve had. I look forward to many more years working with Dr. Tullio. I wish him well in his venture.

When my parentsâ€™ dog Kya died very suddenly a few years agoâ€š their regular vet was not at work that day. But thankfullyâ€š Dr. Tullio was and treated my parents and their dog as if he was their doctor for the past 15 yearsâ€”doing everything he could to try and revive Kya and by being so compassionate to my parents in the waiting room after having to deliver the sad news. We truly canâ€™t say enough nice things about Dr. Tullio and canâ€™t wait for him to open his new facility! Thank you.
