We will forever be greatful for the incredible team that took care of our grand-doggie Bea. Bea came in very sick and soon after was shift change. Within minutes of Dr. Reis arriving on shift she realized that Bea was no OK, she moved swiftly to increase her level of care and worked nonstop with Dr. Stevens to give Bea the best possible care. She helped us navigate and educated us as a family to each step they were doing. Hana, Khrystina, and Clint were also sooo very helpful. The amount of times that Clint helped us clean up messes Bea made, answered questions and would come running the moment we thought something was wrong. Our family continued to say throughout the entire stay that Bea had what absolute saints each of you were. From truly saving Bea's life, to hugging us, reassuring us, making sure we had a drink, snack, blanket, a break, kleenex, or just took the time to listen, to the actual red carpet you laid out and cheered and clapped for our Bea when she got to go home!!!! . You guys have forever touched our family!!! You guys are one heck of a team!!

I can't thank the team at VEG ER for pets enough for the outstanding care they gave my cat, Oliver. Dr. Marilyn Prieto did an incredible job! A very special thanks to Caroline, Oliver's assigned nurse, who was remarkably sweet and patient with him, as well as assistants Haley and Jazmin for their great support. Also, Brittney welcomed us with such professionalism and courtesy from the start. Knowing Oliver was in such gentle, capable hands gave me total peace of mind. Highly recommended!

This place ROCKS!!! I brought my cat 5050 in for a foxtail in her eye and they did the deed. Reasonable fees. I’ve been doing TNR ferals for 30-ish years. I have to say this place is the nicest I’ve ever been to. And a week later her follow up showed she is 100% good to good. Rocket crew at VEG. I’m so glad I’m a VEGetarian~ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I don't usually leave reviews, but this place deserved one. Brought my dog Scout in for vomiting and diarrhea, and honestly the experience exceeded every expectation I had for an emergency vet. Everyone from the Scott who helped with the payments, to the technicians, and the amazing doctor was genuinely kind and treated Scout like he mattered. Before doing anything, they explained every recommendation, walked me through costs upfront, and answered my questions without making me feel rushed or pressured. The doctor was thorough, communicated clearly, and made sure I left knowing exactly what to watch for. Most importantly, it felt like they cared for Scout like he was their own pet, not just another patient coming through the door. Emergency vet care isn't cheap, but I left feeling like every dollar was well spent on a team that actually cared about getting Scout the right outcome. Wouldn't hesitate to bring him back if he ever needed emergency care again. Hope I never have to. Thank you. 🐾

VEG ran like a well oiled machine lubricated with compassion, care, teamwork. Everyone was engaged. No one seemed tired or irritated. We were there after midnight. There were several critical pets already there or that came in. They took precedence because my pup was not critical. However, I was made aware of the wait and why. We were checked on regularly and given wait time for labs & x-ray results. Hospitalization was handled the same way. And the day team was working with the same integrity and dedication. I will not hesitate to return or refer friends & family.

Paddington says to thank everyone who pet him and gave him all the attention he demanded. The staff are the reason why Paddington does not associate VEG on Rampart as a negative experience. Thank you to everyone’s help and all the love given to him on our *latest* visit 😭. Thankfully nothing serious this time. Realizing right now that I don’t recall my nurses/techs names’, I am so sorry. I think I was just happy that Paddy was happy and completely forgot to get names. The two ladies kept us updated and offered help throughout our entire stay. They were also so chill with our strange encounter; someone I knew walked in with their own pet concerns. They helped ease those parents immediately. Afterwards our areas merged (while still separate) and the nurse/tech were so good about keeping us updated but keeping patient info confidential. I was able to witness them, and DVM Jones, treat the pet and parents with compassion, offering comfort and understanding throughout, offering options for payments without judgement to the parent’s ability to pay. Unfortunately, the fur babe’s diagnosis was too severe and treatment and recovery would be difficult, so the difficult decision was made for comfort. I hate it came to the conclusion it came to. I could tell the staff were affected, and yet they did the switch up everyone in the medical does where they put their emotions aside and made sure that each fur babe and parent they encountered got the level of care they deserved. The staff even helped me when we were discharged and had my dog and took the other family’s *literal* baby so they could say their goodbyes. We were no longer a patient but they still checked on us and gave Paddington tons of love. The staff at VEG on Rampart are something special, because while it was all tough for the other family, in the end they managed to have the other parent’s laughing. *Thankful for anyone who remembered Paddy from previous visits. You fill his bucket and boost his ego, and this point his name should be Diva Paddington.*

I had to bring my dog Pudding in on the 4th of July for an anal gland that looked like it was about rupture through the skin. Eddy (vet assistant) was quick and very nice helping us get checked in. Our nurse Tony was knowledgeable, gentle and efficient with my dog who was in pain. Dr. Watson was very mindful and gave great after care advice and care during the procedure. I’ve always heard nothing but great things from pet owners about VEG Boynton specifically and fortunately/unfortunately have had excellent care from them with my dog also! Thanks VEG Boynton!

Best emergency vet I have ever been to. My pet and I were handled with care from the moment I called to walking in the door. They didn’t even stop to do paperwork and got me right in to check my cat’s vitals. Rob W was the nurse and he was so gentle and kind to my very nervous and shaking cat. It was clear they love animals and do everything they can to for pets and their owners. They not only let me stay with my cat the whole time but encouraged it. It is all open and transparent. He listened and asked good questions. I cannot say enough about how helpful and calming he was. Thank you to Rob and VEG ER in Cos Cob for taking sure good care of my baby.

We spent the last three days at VEG with our beloved 5 year old dog, Jammer, initially suspecting he had HGE… which turned into a much more harrowing experience than we could have fathomed when he didn’t respond well to treatment. We were terrified, emotional, and thought we would have to euthanize him after 36-40 hours (and even planned his necropsy, prepared to say our goodbyes.) Each and every single vet and tech and receptionist we worked with over the past few days was nothing but compassionate, caring, supportive, and willing to discuss each and every option. The fact that this amazing team was even willing to consult criticalists on his behalf multiple times speaks to how much they care… and ultimately was what saved him, along to their top-notch care, their willingness to allow me to assist with treatments, and even permitting me to do his esophageal tube feedings unassisted. He is alive today thanks to the team at VEG. His future is unsure… and we have a long road ahead of us, but we wouldn’t have even had that option if not for this team. He is HOME, which is all I ever wanted through this ordeal, even if it’s not for long. I cannot, and I mean CAN NOT, thank everyone at VEG enough. Jam, my husband, and I are beyond grateful. Thank you for allowing us to stay with our boy throughout the insane holiday weekend, providing us everything we needed, and caring for him like he mattered to you like he matters to us. Dr. Summers, Dr. Huff, Dr. Mac, Dr. Lockhart, Dr. Logan — and most especially Jam’s angel of a tech, Sam — THANK YOU for saving him for us to see couch naps and car rides and joy again.

My dog Ice was taken to the vet by me where I live in CT where an xray showed a possible mass that needed to be scanned via ultrasound. Ultrasound, technicians were not available in my area and so I drove to my home town of Brooklyn after speaking with this facility and finding out that there was a doctor available to conduct the ultrasound. Dr. Cross did an amazing job with the ultrasound and later sat with me to compassionately but realistically give the next steps. The next day, we were able to have the surgery that she needed. I am very grateful to Doctor Cross for his help and to all of the staff there who took us in immediately.

I don't remember my vet's name. Sorry! However, she was amazing! She listened and understood and validated my concerns. Based on Dexter's current treatment of antibiotics and his response to treatment, she thought of a more comprehensive way of treating and addressing it. She included me in the decision making process. Before finalizing a treatment plan, she wanted to think about the coarse of action. Her decision was spot on for Dexter. Within two-days, Dexter began eating again, after not eating for OVER a week. He had less discharge from his nose and his activity level improved drastically. The antibiotics and steroids are working. My Dexter has returned. Her approach to treatment was unconventional compared to what I would have received if I had gone back to Angell's. I truly feel that her approach saved his life. Thank you so much! I will totally recommend VEG to others.

Piggy backing on my husbands review because words cannot express the gratitude I have for this place. Everyone is amazing here and have a great compassionate team that will do everything they can to help your pet. Our Salty is 14 years old and did not think it was possible but they managed to get her better and return to her usual shenanigans. People with the bad reviews/comments about the cost, need to understand that this is AN EMERGENCY service. I understand times are tough for everyone but if you want/need the best care,it will be well worth it. Also the concept of being able to be with your pet the entire time is absolutely amazing and I cannot imagine going anywhere else now.Will recommend them to everyone!

If you are an anxious pet owner like myself, I cannot recommend this place enough. We took our boy Ares here after being misdiagnosed twice and him throwing up a lot in the span of a couple of hours. Our doctor (I completely forget her name I'm sorry!!) was ABSOLUTELY amazing. She saw us in less than 15 minutes after arrival and explained everything to me which made me feel comfortable about our decision. Our boy ended up having surgery through this company and they were so amazing with everything, they kept us updated through every aspect have done such a great job taking care of our boy. My cat is now 3 weeks post op and is doing the best he's been in well over a month!! I wish I would've brought him to VEG sooner, I'm so happy they made my boy back to normal!! (He now has the come off and is doing great :))

This place is amazing. I’ve never taken an animal to the Vet ER before but they exceeded my expectations. Staff was really friendly and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. We were warmly greeted at the door and multiple staff members came up to look at our injured dog and make sure he was comfortable.. Dr’s spent time explaining recommendations and alternate ideas. He didn’t say it but Finn totally agrees.

We can’t thank the team at VEG Dublin enough for everything they did for our dog, Theo. Theo was hospitalized for several days after ingesting xylitol, and from the moment we walked through the doors, the entire team treated him like he was their own. Every doctor, technician, and nurse took the time to explain what was happening, answer our endless questions, and keep us updated throughout every step of his recovery. There were moments when things felt incredibly uncertain, but they never stopped fighting for him. Their knowledge, compassion, and dedication gave us so much comfort during one of the hardest experiences we’ve ever been through. They celebrated every small win with us, were honest when things were difficult, and made sure Theo received exceptional care around the clock. We never doubted that he was in the best hands. On Friday, we were able to bring Theo home, and we know that’s because of the incredible team at VEG Dublin. We are forever grateful for the care, kindness, and expertise they showed our family. Thank you for giving us our boy back! 🤍

Fantastic care and great service. My dog had a foreign object in her and was transferred to VEG at the recommendation of my urgent care vet. After a consult with VEG, they provided different treatment paths and were considerate of my budget. The entire team was fantastic, intelligent, and caring. During my dog's recovery, we had to return once more, and again the whole crew was fantastic, providing tiered/escalating treatment plans based on her response(s) during recovery.

Everyone's favorite little Chihuahua wasn't acting like himself. He was lethargic, experiencing labored breathing, and showing several other concerning symptoms. I immediately rushed him to VEG in Snellville, and from beginning to end, I thoroughly loved the entire experience. What stood out most was that I was able to be involved in every step of his care. The staff took the time to explain what they were doing and made me feel included in the process rather than leaving me wondering what was happening behind closed doors. My fur baby needed to spend time in an oxygen tank, which was scary as a pet parent, but the entire team treated him with so much love and compassion. They even provided him with a soft, furry bed to help keep him comfortable during his stay. The communication was exceptional. They reached out regularly and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me tremendous peace of mind during a stressful situation. The level of care, kindness, and professionalism we received was outstanding. I would absolutely bring my baby back to VEG for any future animal emergency and highly recommend them to anyone looking for compassionate, high-quality veterinary care. THANKS VEG!😇🥰🐕

They are amazing. Make her feel so welcome to provide blankets and towels and food and IVs that can be moved so she can sit by the window and in the private room we can visit her 24 seven the staff and the doctors are so welcoming and kind and accommodate for any needs, and they make her feel safe and provide private rooms with multiple things that you can use to feed help sleep and pee in.

I stayed with my cat Marco a majority of his 36 hour stay at VEG and encountered a few different shifts of nurses and doctors. Every single person on those teams were welcoming and understanding beyond my expectations. I never once felt like he wasn’t in the best possible care. Genuinely couldn’t have asked for better treatment during and after his procedure thank you everyone so so much.

I’m a mom to four sons, two human and two canine. I love and care for all of them. My human sons might say their furry brothers get better care on all levels, and if I’m honest- I’d have to agree. My furry babies are more vulnerable, always happy to see me, never complain about what’s for dinner & rarely talk back. And that’s part of what makes them so vulnerable. If something is wrong they have a tough time communicating what’s going on. All I can say, Dr. Rothstein, Dr. McDonald and all of Tyson’s care team: Rob, Cristina, Hannah, Jodi, Ashley and Jackie made his inability to explain himself a nonentity. Their attention, patience and thorough examinations were enough.We walked into VEG with a scared golden retriever who was not feeling himself, couldn't explain himself and he was greeted with so much love and focus, it didn’t matter that he wasn’t able to describe his ailments. VEG is unlike any vet I’ve been too. It is truly a godsend, a port in the storm of confusion and stress that comes with being a parent. Many thanks for all that you do.

I highly recommend the staff at this VEG EG after the care they provided my dog, Brady, following an injury he suffered. What started off as a straightforward need for stitches quickly became more serious when Brady experienced several episodes of ventricular tachycardia (vtach) related to a reaction to medications and potentially an underlying heart problem. It was incredibly scary, but the staff responded quickly and professionally, communicated clearly, and did everything they could to keep both Brady and me comfortable throughout the experience. The staff I worked with demonstrated compassion and integrity. I also really appreciated the thoughtful accommodations for pet owners. From comfortable spaces to stay with your pet, to snacks, drinks, and other small touches, it was clear to me that VEG understood emergencies are hard on people, too. Those kinds of details honestly made a meaningful difference during a really stressful evening. When I left Brady overnight for monitoring, I felt a bit nervous (as any owner likely would) but I mostly felt grateful that he was alive and in good hands. The next morning, I received a timely update (as promised), clear discharge instructions, and Brady has since made an excellent recovery! See pictures of him right after surgery vs. today. I cannot recommend VEG ER more if your pet needs urgent care. I know I sound like an ad, but the environment and level of care they provided to both my dog and me from start to finish was truly set apart from any other vet I've used. And I've had some wonderful vets over the years, so I don't say that lightly. :)

In late May of this year, we brought our extremely sick cat to VEG EP after a pretty awful experience at another ER the night before. From the very first phone call, our experience was seriously amazing. We were able to speak with the doctor the moment we walked in the door. Our cat was kept hospitalized overnight and we spent quite a bit of time there with him. Even when there were 5 other patients in the hospital, it was a very quiet and calm environment. Our cat is 10/10 peppers spicy, and everyone who handled him and interacted with him was SO GOOD with him, and I was very stressed and worried, but everyone handled me with a lot of care too. He is still working through whatever it was that made him so sick to begin with, but we really thought he wasn't going to last the weekend, and the VEG team completely turned that around for us and he's been improving ever since. Thank you so much for saving our kitty and I'm so sorry he wasn't nicer to you guys!!

I can't express enough how thankful I am to the team at this veterinary clinic. When my cat Willow went into labor for the first time, what started as a hopeful situation turned into an emergency situation. The vet handled everything with professionalism and care, making sure both my cat and I felt supported throughout the processes. They have willingness to work with a payment plan, easing the financial stress during such a difficult time. Beyond the care for my cat they went above and beyond for myself. When I was leaving at 1 AM after a beyond exhausting and overwhelming few days I noticed I had a flat tire. When asking if I found a ride home and got it towed tomorrow if it would be okay to leave it overnight, instead a worker assisted me with AAA and helped all the way up to them arriving. This level of compassion and going the extra length is rare and speaks volumes about their dedication—not just to the animals they treat but to the owners as well. Every person I encountered at the clinic was genuinely so caring, they do their work out of love and commitment, not just as a job. I am forever grateful for their support and highly recommend this vet to anyone who wants compassionate, expert care for their pets. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

We brought our 17-year-old Yorkie, Oliver, to VEG ER in Cos Cob twice over the past few weeks, and both experiences were exceptional despite the stressful circumstances. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted immediately and brought straight to the treatment area so Oliver could be assessed without delay. He received prompt care and was seen by a doctor within minutes, which made an incredibly difficult situation feel much more manageable. I truly can’t put into words the difference it makes to be able to stay with your pet during an emergency. Oliver has separation anxiety (and, admittedly, so do I), so being by his side throughout the visit brought immense comfort and eased so much worry. The transparency and communication at VEG are unlike anything we’ve experienced—every step of the process was explained clearly, and we always felt included in decisions about his care. The doctors and veterinary staff were compassionate, professional, and genuinely caring. I would highly recommend VEG ER to anyone seeking emergency veterinary care with both expertise and empathy.

Super attentive and sweet. Dr.Alexander and Brie were quick to action when our sweet pup ate an AirPod (ugh I know..) They told us about previous experiences they have had and how they typically went to ease our minds. Our little guy went right along with them and they were so kind with him. He looks sad here but I promise he loved all the affection.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about VEG. They truly hold a special place in my heart. In March 2024, the incredible team at VEG helped save my golden retriever, Ruger, and I will never forget the compassion, expertise, and care they showed during one of the most stressful moments of our lives. More recently, the St. Petersburg location was equally amazing when Ruger needed treatment for a severe ear infection. A special thank you to Kevin, who was outstanding from the moment we checked in and continued to provide exceptional care throughout our visit. Every member of the staff made us feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. As pet parents, there is nothing more comforting than knowing your beloved family member is in the best hands possible. VEG consistently goes above and beyond for both pets and their owners. If you ever find yourself facing a pet emergency, there is nowhere else I would recommend. VEG is simply the best!

I was so beyond pleased with the care Wally received after testing positive for Parvo last week. While I was thrilled to learn that I could visit him at any time, even in the middle of the night, I felt beyond comfortable leaving him in your care for the two nights he spent there. I so appreciated the constant transparency about treatment options, costs, and frequent updates about how Wally was doing when I wasn’t able to be there. We were blown away by the amazing care he received! He absolutely LOVED his nurse Melissa, who took particularly amazing care of him (although the whole staff was incredible). I will absolutely be recommending VEG to all my friends with pets!

Our baby we found out has anaphylaxis after we rushed her in for care. They assured me it wasn't my fault and based on all of the tests and imaging it was more than likely a severe reaction to a likely bug bite or sting. We spent about six hours there and I felt involved and comfortable the whole time. Everyone on the team was reassuring and welcomed questions which helps me rationalize what's going on. They followed up with me on some questions I had on medications. Extra thank you for the magic turkey and gravy baby food that made her feel so much better. Luckily she was seen right away and there had to be at least four people attending to her at first. When we were out of the woods and had to be monitored I got to stay with her in a quiet room between check ins. Then she got to thankfully come home with us and is much much better today. Although I left with anxiety about future anaphylactic shock events I feel thankful to be so close.

I recently took my pet to VEG Emergency Vet Care during an urgent situation, and the experience was excellent. The staff was welcoming and compassionate from the start. The doctor took time to clearly explain everything and showed genuine concern, which made a stressful situation much easier to handle. The level of care was outstanding. They even followed up afterward and coordinated with our regular vet. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any pet emergency.

Also a special thank you to Dr. Sweetwood for being so thorough and patient in explaining everything to me. The whole team was understanding and truly showed they cared about our pet. The complimentary snacks and water while we waited was a thoughtful touch as well. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for professional, and efficient veterinary care.

Came in with a cat that was expelling out of both ends. We were treated with care and kindness. The staff and Doctor were pleasant and polite. I would recommend this place highly. The plan they came up with was reasonable and the price acceptable given it’s an emergency room. The condition of the facility was clean as well. They are also conveniently located making it an easy 2mile drive there. I’m happy to have found a Vet ER so close, clean and kind. Thank you for helping my kitty out.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about VEG ER for Pets. From the moment we rushed our cat, Ruckus, through their doors, every single person treated her—and us—with compassion, kindness, and genuine care. Their open-concept hospital meant we never had to leave her side, which brought us so much comfort during one of the scariest moments of our lives. The doctors and staff were incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and patient. They stabilized Ruckus and gave us hope when we needed it most. But what truly sets VEG apart is what happened after we left. They continued checking on Ruckus days and even weeks later, simply because they cared. They didn't have to, but they did—and that speaks volumes about the hearts of the people who work there. Knowing they're open 24/7 gives us peace of mind that if another emergency ever happens, we'll never hesitate to bring our pets to VEG. They are more than an emergency hospital—they're a team of compassionate people who truly love animals and the families who love them. Thank you for everything you did for Ruckus. We'll never forget your kindness. ❤️🐾

A new concept in vet care. Open concept office. Exceptional care from asst to tech to nurse to vet. A bit pricey but not like VCA. I went in on a Sunday morning at 6:30am so prices should be a premium. And the talent and equipment are upgraded. Great care for my sick kitty. This is now my go to for emergency vet care.

My boyfriend and I adopted a puppy from a shelter on Monday 3/23. The next day, we noticed her spay incision was opened and appeared infected. We brought her to VEG because it was the closest animal ER that was open. We were asked immediately after entering what the problem was and got into a room right after. We did not have to wait for anyone to come in and Suki was evaluated right then and there. Everyone was so sweet and genuine and we could tell that they were taking us seriously. Suki got an ultrasound to check that her internal stitches were still intact and then we were given a mild sedative (gabapentin), pain medication, and antibiotic for her. We were expecting to pay a minimum of $1000 but the whole visit was a little over $300. We went to an ER for our cat a while ago that also only needed an ultrasound and it costed $1,300 not including the initial visit fee so we were pleasantly surprised by VEG’s pricing to say the least. Dr. Ella Macquisten was so great and understanding and also made sure that we were involved with everything and didn’t make any decisions without asking first. We were in and out within an hour and Suki is doing great. Could not recommend this ER enough.

My friend frantically called me after finding one of her beloved cats ate a pill dropped by an elderly companion. We rushed to VEG in Nanuet and were blown away by their swift care and extreme attention to her cats health. The staff completed rapid triage, were very compassionate as we were so upset, there was full transparency on care costs and detailed aftercare instructions. All turned out fine, thankfully. We are beyond grateful for the immediate care and attention we received. Please do not hesitate to visit VEG Nanuet if your pet needs emergency care.

Absolutely outstanding service from VEG pleasant hill that words alone cannot describe. Unfortunately our cat ate a hair tie and needed induced vomitting immediately. Upon arrival the team here was extremely quick to assess Kylans situation and take care of him as fast as possible. Even with other situations going on at the time Kylan received the best care possible and the vets were able to get the hair tie out. Because of the situation we were unfortunate enough to not catch the names of the vets that assisted us but they provided us excellent service and went above and beyond to reassure us of the situations and provide a layout of what procedures will/might need to be done. We felt extremely blessed walking out tonight and are extremely grateful for each and everyone of the vets at VEG Pleasant hill. Thank you so much for helping save our kitty!

Thank you to the staff that was working the night shift on Friday 5/29. I had to bring my senior dog in for an emergency tumor rupture that unfortunately led to his having to be put down. The front desk person and veterinary team were very attentive and had him on an exam table with an ultrasound going within moments of us entering the building. Everyone was very kind, professional and caring while doing what must be a very difficult part of the job. Highly recommended.

Woke up Saturday to my dog having continued issues with Diarrhea w/ blood and was not able to take him to his normal vet. Did a quick google search and based on the reviews I called VEG ER and from the moment they answered the phone it was an amazing experience. Brittany, Robyn, Dr Long, and the other ladies in the office (apologize for not getting your names), EVERYONE was so friendly, helpful, understanding, attentive. Was a night/day different experience than I'm accustomed to with most vets and ER. The open concept, and being able to be with your pet the entire time…is a blessing for someone who has an animal like mine with separation and anxiety issues. Im not sure if this place is “fear free” certified but they might as well be. Because of the open concept, other animals are being seen around you and my experience was the same experience for everyone being seen, compassion across the board and everyone got the same love. You can tell everyone loves their job. I hope i dont have to visit the ER again but if I do, this is where I will be going. Somewhat of a drive from Natomas but it is worth it. They are opening an office in Roseville. They Really need to bring this open concept to normal vet practice. 5 stars, thank you for taking care of Jax. He would probably be less freaked out about going to the vet if every experience was like this.

So grateful for everyone who works here. As far as emergency vets go it was reasonably priced. My 19 year old baby got in a fight with our younger cat the other week and she had a really bad infected wound. I called around to 3 other emergency vets around midnight that said they weren’t taking new patients. At VEG they told me they don’t do that. They have you sit there with your pet while they treat them. They showed so much love and goodness to my baby and to me. Now she is back to herself and I couldn’t be more grateful to have her. Thank you all!!!
