We can’t say thank you enough to Amy and Dr. Fitch for all the support and encouragement during His 2nd TPLO surgery.
Gages is 4years young, he had his first TPLO @ Beacon when he was 2years old.
This is him 11 weeks post operation. He was back in the field doing what he loves. Without this amazing OR/ER team and office staff we wouldn’t be here today,
Happy dog for sure! Birddog life!

SHORT STORY: Dr. Johnson and the incredible staff at Beacon saved my senior golden retriever Abby’s life.

LONG STORY: We have a beautiful tree in our yard that, for the first time since we moved in a year ago, shed hundreds of seeds. One night, we let our pups out in the evening as we always do, and Abby decided to eat as many of these seeds as she could before I could get her to stop eating weird things. That night, Abby began dry heaving, vomiting, and had diarrhea, so we rushed her to an ER across the peninsula. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, suspecting that she had probably just eaten herself sick.

The next morning, Abby began having severe seizures. We rushed her to Beacon at the peninsula ER hospital’s recommendation, where the Beacon staff was waiting for us with a gurney. They began treating her inside immediately.

Dr. Johnson spent the morning calling me hourly as she investigated the culprit for the seizures. She offered a creative idea to post photos of the plants around the area she was eating in our yard to a Facebook group devoted to poisonous plant identification. Within minutes, the Facebook group had identified the plants in our yard, the culprit being a brunfelsia pauciflora tree, which is highly poisonous to humans and dogs when parts of the plant and seeds are ingested. With this new information, Dr. Johnson spent hours devising a treatment plan for Abby with poison control.

Throughout her treatment, the staff sent us regular photo and video updates, and eventually allowed us to come visit her in person. They did everything they could to make Abby feel comfortable, including allowing her to spread out on a mattress pad outside of her kennel, and gave her an eye mask and cotton balls in her ears to help her sleep more comfortably in the bright ER. They were compassionate and kind, and were super communicative about every step of her treatment process.

After 72 hours in Beacon’s care, Abby has pulled through and is now home and resting comfortably. Even though she was off shift, Dr. Johnson followed up with us to make sure Abby was doing well, and to make sure the cotton balls had been removed from her ears before coming home. ?

The team here is compassionate, kind, communicative, and gave us incredible, focused care. It’s safe to say without Beacon’s rapid response and creative resourcefulness, Abby wouldn’t be here today. They treat their patients as if they were their own pets, and I am so, so grateful to them for saving my fur baby’s life.

We were recommended by our Vet to have our dog seen by Dr. Fitch for possible surgery. I was a little reluctant; only for the fact it is about a 45-minute drive from where we live. I can honestly say now that I would drive across the country for my dog to be treated by them. The minute you walk in you are greeted with caring smiles . Our dog is not fond of Vets or anyone who works within the office. With that said Dusty was treated with kindness and understanding. After our consultation, Dr. Fitch got out his iPad and explained everything to me about surgery. Including how a dog legs works and how my Dusty's leg will be after the surgery. They also give you very thorough instructions for post-surgery care and future visits. Just a few days after surgery and he is putting his weight on his leg and not hopping like he had been. I see that soon in his future that he will be "leaping tall buildings in a single bound" and so excited to go on our hikes again soon. Big shoutout to Danielle at front desk and Dr Fitch and his assistants.

The staff are great, and the doctor/surgeon did a fantastic job! - They worked on the weekend at short notice, and we definitely appreciate not having to wait indefinitely over the weekend for the needed surgery for one of our dogs.

Bodhi struggled with panosteitis for the first 1.5 of his life. Went to 2 other vets before coming to Beacon. Thank goodness for Dr. Fitch and Amy who got Bodhi back to normal and now living his best life hunting, pain free!

Our dog Asta had her TPLO surgery here with Dr. Fitch. The team took amazing care of us and was always available when we had questions about her recovery. She is doing well and we would happily recommend Beacon for your pet's surgical needs.
