The vet that Leo goes to is quite expensive - even for NYC. I do understand that many of these procedures are pricey, and of course real estate is costly, as is expertise. That is the part I'm most thankful for - the expertise, and the care that comes with that. Dr. C, Leo's oncologist, has been nothing but kind and compassionate, as well as being top-notch. I recently got to spend a little more time with Dr. S, the first doctor that Leo saw, as part of the follow-up on his throat.
