Punkie has been deceased now for 8 years. She was a cat with diabetes which was very difficult to control. On several occasions she suffered from Diabetic Coma or Insulin Shock. Dr. Good would come in to the clinic on weekends and after hours to treat her. His actions showed he cared for my pet almost as much as I did. This is a rare quality in veternarians these days many of whom look more at the monetary aspects than the treating of animals. He believes in quality care produced in the most cost effective way. He is truly a great veternarian as well as a quality human being!

Dr. Nancy Matthews is my cats vet when he came back home to me from one of his outdoor excursions, with a broken, limp tail! I brought him in to her clinic and waited in the exam room. When from the other room came the voice of an angel! Dr. Matthews brought my cat into surgery to work her magic on the bite the cat suffered. She then offered her

She is the best because she not only helps her own patients but helps save and rescue and treat hundreds of dogs from dog mills and auction houses. As well She is a member of several large Cavalier groups who also depend on her expert knowledge for help with their dogs.

Dr. Nancy is the best vet because she is very loving and caring to pets and their owners, she always does her best to make sure that the animals get the treatment they need and deserve even if the owner cant afford to pay for it all at once.

She was quick to diagnose our Cavalier and provide a treatment plan. Her follow-up has been awesome. She takes time to explain what is going on and listens to any questions we have. She is quickly available for questions later on. She is active in rescue and the community.

Imagine yourself having to make a difficult choice of paying for a surgery for a animal friend that you dearly love that is so out of your range financially or to have to put this precious animal to sleep. I faced this heart wrenching choice when my dear feline friend "Jewel" ate string, which caused her intestines to fold like an accordian and which resulted in a blockage. Dr. Nancy Matthews saw my heartbreaking moment and gave me the opportunity to volunteer to work my bill off at her Hospital and of course I jumped at this opportunity in order to save my Jewels. At the time there was no guarentee of Jewels survival even after the surgery and the bill would still need to be honored even if she didnt survive, but she did survive! Dr. Nancy was the angel God sent to me that day to make a difference in saving my kittys life. I will always be grateful for her willingness to work with me financially and for taking such good care of Jewels during the surgery and the hospital stay. To this day, a year later along with another incident of Jewels being bit by a rattlesnake, Jewels is now has seven more lives remaining. Dr. Nancy deserves the highest regard available to remind her of just how wonderful she is to her feline patients and to their owners. God bless her, for she is truly making a difference in the feline world.

She cares so much about the animals and lives within our community. She is in charge of two rescue groups. One is for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and the other is for Collies.

I have been using DR A for about 18 years. He cared for all three of my Akita's. My first Akita he took care of her from 9 weeks to almost 15 years. He got her through a mystery illness that nearly killed her. A operation at 13 to take a huge mass out of her bladder. Plus the last three years he managed her arthritis so she could still walk and play right to the end. He lit up when we brought Suki in to get her check up. When the time came to put her to sleep he was beyond gentle with her. As he gave her the shot he talked to her like a child and when I looked at him he had tears in his eyes. I'll never forget that. Our second Akita Maxi we adopted at 7 years old The sweetest Akita I ever met. Short story is after 7 months out of the blue she got sick, They found a huge mass in her chest between her lung and into her heart cavity. Had not choice surgery would have killed her so we put her to sleep. I was a mess he helped me through one of the worst times in my life. He gave me a hug and talked to me as a friend. Called a day later to see how I was.I have his cell. He cares for my reagen now.He is a great vet. I love him

As a volunteer for Cavalier Rescue, she pursued a veterinarian degree to help all animals. She is a devoted Vet to animals of all walks....dogs, cats, foxes, ducks, rabbits....etc. But most of all her heart belongs to rescue, all rescues. She donates an abundance of time and skill to the rescue world. When Gatlinburg TN. burned, last fall, she was one of the first Vets, with her team, on the scene. They worked endlessly the help any animal in need.....for weeks. She is also forever studying and staying on top of the new break throughs , in modern and natural medicine. Dr. Hickey does a wonderful job of mixing the two to find what works best for her clients. Her main concern, at all times, is what is in the best interest of the animals....If it's a pill, it's a pill. If it's a carrot, it's a carrot. She's a straight shooter and has all the kindness in the world, when she tells you your pet needs "XYZ" And has no problem referring you and your pet to a second opinion. in fact, she is very welcoming of them. Her and her team are real go getters and are extremely excited to further their education. They are constantly looking for better ways to serve their clients and education is always their priority. Dr. Hickey is one of the most giving people I know. I have no doubt, most of her clients have no clue how much she does for rescue.

Stephanie has an enormous passion for caring for animals. She is a member of the Lucky Star Cavalier rescue and when not working at her Veterinary Hospital she is finding homes for orphaned animals, not to mention making them healthy too! She equally cares about the parents of her animals by being available for our questions and concerns and always takes time to visit with us during our appointments. She had a wonderful staff and the team provides exemplary customer service at all times. Stephanie is the best! I am very excited to nominate her for this award!
