Home consultations eliminates the need to move a painful or immobile patient, the stress of car rides, clinical smells, interactions with other animals, slippery floors and stainless steel tables. Being at home allows clients to relax as much as possible. We are comfortable working on the floor, outside in the sunshine or on the client’s bed.
Dr Emma and My Best Friend, has earned a professional and compassionate reputation. We are proud that Melbourne is recognised as the leader in Geriatric Medicine, Palliative Care and ‘End of Life Care’ for our beloved companion animals.
