Dr. Sabean and her staff are wonderful. When my beloved cat had reached the end after 18-1/2 wonderful years and was in a clear emergency situation, I called. It was a Saturday and Dr. Sabean had already left. She could not get back for an hour, but that gave me time to take my cat and let her do something she hadn't been able to do in some time -- be on a leash at the outside forested area of the clinic in Oakland and let her experience the wild again. When Dr. Sabean arrived it was just the three of us and it was peaceful and beautifully done. Her staff are equally caring, and they all sent me an incredible condolence card. They're absolutely tops in caring for your pets!
