Doctor Tullio is a kind, caring gentleman who has cared for my cocker spaniels for many years now. He has always been helpful, honest, and understanding with my pets and me. He is a man I trust completely and have and do refer others to him. Any pet owner can feel safe and secure in trusting their beloved pets to his skilled hands.

When my parents' dog Kya died very suddenly a few years ago, their regular vet was not at work that day. But thankfully Dr. Tullio was and treated my parents and their dog as if he was their doctor for the past 15 years doing everything he could to try and revive Kya and by being so compassionate to my parents in the waiting room after having to deliver the sad news. We truly can't say enough nice things about Dr. Tullio and can't wait for him to open his new facility! Thank you.

Dr. Tullio has been quick to diagnose any issues and remedy all of the problems we've had. I look forward to many more years working with Dr. Tullio. I wish him well in his venture.
