Our beloved pug had surgery for patella luxation & CCL repair. While structurally the surgery was a success, we weren't satisfied with this as the final outcome for him. We got referrals, asked around, called around, and did our research. Once we visited the facility and did the consult with Lauryn and Dr. Heidi, we had a great feeling. From the management, to the therapists, to the facility, to the front desk staff - it was a great experience. Our dog couldn't wait to run into his sessions. The level of care, attention to detail, time spent, communication, and partnership they form with you for your dog's unique recovery process was amazing. While he'll never be "as good as new," he's as close as possible and ready to return to his normal life. We couldn't be happier and the feeling of finishing our course of treatment today was bitter sweet. We and our dog will miss our visits! We would recommend C.R.O.C. to anyone in our circle, and they would be our first call for any future needs. Thank you!
