Dr. LaDue has been looking after my critters since I was 18 years old--and I'm 63 now. He is the best veterinarian in the world. He's honest, candid, compassionate, kind, knowledgeable and he is THE vet who will tell you the truth about your animal ward's chances and how to extend and improve their lives. He never rakes anyone for cash either, but gives the very best help he can with the resource limitations of the pet parent in mind. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Ladue. Animals love him and he loves animals. I have seen him quite a few times bloodied by pets I brought to him, and he always remained calm and tender with the animals even when they were hurting him. He has amazing self control, presence of mind, and insight. As a life-long lover of animals who has handled quite a few exotics and hand reared many orphaned animal babies, I have always admired Dr. Ladue's skill, knowledge, technique and compassion. I cannot recommend him more highly than he deserves, and he deserves more praise than I've given him here. Thank you, Dr. LaDue.
