Team Veterinary Care?

Our Creed at Morris Hospital is a team approach to veterinary care.  You say "I'm not a vet.  How can I help?"  The simple answer is, a lot.  You are an invaluable diagnostic tool.  You live with your pet.  You know their quirks, eating habits, sleep patterns, even their potty habits.  You know, well, when something is wrong.   Your job, as the voice of the pet, is to say something is wrong.  Our job: to listen and to dig.

Going to tell you right now, we aren't always going to find an answer.  We can run tests, observe, even send you to a specialist.  Guess what?  We're not always going to be able to give you an answer.  Unfortunately, sometimes the pet has to get sicker to point us in the right direction.  Even with the greatness of modern science at our disposal, a diagnosis can elude us.  

So what is your part in all of this?  To be there reminding us that the problem still isn't resolving; the keep us apprised of changes, good or bad, in your pet's condition.  To help us "monitor" the pet 24/7.  We can help you to keep symptoms in perspective, but we will never belittle your observations.

What's our part in all of this?  To listen.  Sounds simple, but wow, some people just don't get it.  Dr. Morris went to the doctor today, and her own personal physician did not listen to what she was saying about her body.  My mother can't get doctors to listen regarding the changes in her body.

Our promise to you: To listen, to dig, and to support.  We may not always have answers.  But we promise never to ignore you as insignificant in the process.
