Wonderful, caring vet. When my cat became blocked with bladder crystals and had to be hospitalized twice within the same week Dr. Shinn was the main vet who took care of him. She was very compassionate and concerned about his welfare and was able to get the little guy unblocked. When I came to pick him up after the second hospitalization it was very apparent how caring she was, telling me how he was such a great patient and she loved his personality being able to spend time with him while taking care of him. As we were leaving she told me she’d be praying for his safe recovery and healthy future. Her passion for my pet’s welfare made me feel so much more comfortable during a very stressful time Not only did Dr. Shinn«cure» my cat with care and compassion, she also worked with us with ways to reduce the cost of the second hospitalization, the first one having cost $ 800 exactly seven days earlier. When we went to pay the bill for the second hospitalization(which was two days longer than the first) we were surprised to see that not only did she keep her word to help reduce the cost(such as putting the cathetors in without anesthesia) Pitman Animal Hospital also knocked $ 100 off the final total. I was very pleased with the service, care and compassion I received from both Dr. Shinn and Pitman Animal Hospital and have complete trust in them, wheter it be for regular routine exams or lifesaving procedures
