Congratulations Dr. Medici! You're #1 to Us!

"Dr. Medici of Ohana Veterinary Care Examining Noah"

WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! BARK! ARF! ARF! BARKS! My human picked up a copy of the Northern Virginia Magazine this past week and happened to notice the caption on the cover "2019 Top Veterinarians. His first thought "I bet Dr. Medici is listed in the article!" Paws enough, she is!

Though I really do not enjoy getting my vaccinations, having senior examinations which include sticking cold things in places where they should not go, getting a bright light shone in my eyes, getting needles stuck in different parts of my handsome self, or having my pawsome hairy chest shaved so a test could be run, I know those things are done because you want the best for me. You want me to be happy. You want my human to be happy! It shows in the loving care you consistently provide to me.

My human and I love how you write notes about the visit and give us a copy so we can reference them later. Barkingly, with all the excitement of a visit, and my human trying to keep me away from the pretty female dogs in the waiting room, it can get frustrating trying to remember everything from the appointment. WOOF!

All of this and much more goes to prove something we've know for years- BARK, YOU are the bestest!! Congratulations!

"She is just too happy! BARKS!"
