This is a bit of a long-term review because we are so grateful to Pat and in some ways, the excellence of his work and attitude is becoming even more apparent as the years go by. We went to Ridge Referrals because our whippet-poodle cross Bob needed TPLO surgery. After some thought and a thorough examination, Pat decided that the surgery was too much for Bob's skinny bones and a simple arthroscopy would suffice to clean up the knee joint (sorry, not the right terminology!). This was nearly five years ago, and Bob is now nearly 16 years old and running around like a mad dog, with no limping at all. To us, this is like a miracle, but this is exactly what Pat promised us back in 2021. And if that wasn't enough, his calm demeanour also put Bob at ease completely, which is astonishing as he normally turns into a shivering wreck as soon as we enter any vet surgery. Thank you so much!
