This veterinary website is written to promote feline laser declawing and deliberately misinform and hoodwink unsuspecting clients. As disclosure, the laser declawing content is so deceptive it could be considered consumer fraud. In addition, declawing has NO place in a kitten “wellness package” - for declawing removes healthy body parts but does not benefit a cat whatsoever. Dr. Will knows that feline declawing is not “removing the nail” from the bone as the site states. Done with a laser, scalpel or Resco clipper, onychectomy (declawing) is a complete amputation of the third distal phalanges, or end bones, of the cat’s toes. It cuts through bone, tendons, skin and nerves. In a person it is the same as amputating each finger at the last joint. Declawing is one of the most painful procedures in all of veterinary medicine and is associated with many health risks. Dr. Will cannot claim use of a laser is pain free: there’s potential pain from the surgery, long term nerve damage, phantom pain, and pain from changes to anatomy (resulting in arthritis) because the cat now has to walk on amputated toe stumps. Dr. Will, to show you care about your patients (cats), and as a common courtesy and respect for your clients, at minimum update your website copy to reflect the truth about onychectomy. Then your clients can make an informed decision before they needlessly mutilate their cat for the sake of a couch and risk subjecting their feline companion to lifelong pain.

It only takes knowing a vet still performs onychectomy (declaw), to tell me I would NEVER bring my fur kids there. Not only that, but this veterinarian actually misrepresents the procedure on his website...blatantly lying to clients about declawing. It is NOT just the removal of "the claw from the toe" but a complete amputation of the p3 joint. Very sad.

The bad: certainly not the cheapest vet, and sometimes I felt like they would up sell things that really werent necessary. The good: by far the most professional, compassionate vet weve been to. Quality of care is top notch. Vet office is immaculate. The staff is amazing.
