Dr/ LaVigne can walk on water! I refered so many people, he got another vet in the office! Of the maqny things I like about him is: he gets down to visit, does'nt make a big dog get on a sli[ppery table, or an older one. He speaks at a level that if you've never think he is talking down to you.. or making you feel that you have neglected your pet. He is honest, he will tell you what He would do if the pet was his. He has the inate ability to know what not only the animal needs are.. but as an owner what you need too. I hate sharing , but as much as I love animals I do have to share the "Dr. Doolittle" of Bonney lake. St. Francis would be proud.Without any reservations............ C. Livingston
