Dr. DeFabio saved my German Shepherd's life. His immediate care and follow up, along with Dr. Wasserman, made the difference between her life and death. They both spoke to me numerous times during her stay at AERC and it was clear that they are caring and knowledgable vets. My shepherd, Abby, came in to Dr. DeFabio near midnight with severe pain, vomiting and rectal bleeding. Even though we could not determine what had happened to her, he did everything possible to keep her alive. He showed compassion to Abby and to me as I was extremely upset at the idea of losing her. I recommend Dr. DeFabio and Dr. Wasserman to anyone who truly loves their pet and wants the best care possible for them.
