“Dr. Savko IS the Bar and Platinum-Star-Standard!”

“Let me begin by saying Dr. Mike is beyond AMAZING! I cannot believe we who have pets have the good fortune of having access to such a talented, loving, caring, empathetic, and knowledgeable individual.

I was devastated with the news that Lucy had IBD. I was reluctant to have a scope done, but needed to get answers. After the diagnosis, she was put on steroids and other meds. I did not want my cat living on meds.

I wanted better. After discussing things with my vet and trusted pet sitter, I enlisted the help of Dr. Savko.

AMAZING! I was speechless after the first visit. I noticed a visible difference

IMMEDIATELY! Dr. Savko understood the problem and had an outline for a course of action that would HEAL Lucy.

I do not want to manage a condition.

I want to HEAL the condition. Dr. Mike has done that. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and above all, he is honest. He told me in the very first phone conversation, “if I cannot help Lucy, I will tell you.”

The progress is INCREDIBLE. Lucy is now off her daily doses of Miralax and she is on a much lower dose of steroid. He has done this in just a few visits. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Savko.

I don’t care how big or small the issue with your pet, CALL DR. SAVKO!
