Fjord was seen by Dr. Ida yesterday afternoon. I cannot tell you how impressed I was with Dr. Ida and the extraordinary team who took care of my little angel. I continue to be amazed by the compassion and expertise you all possess. Your clinic is run incredibly smoothly and has adapted beautifully to the COVID pandemic. Thank you all for all that you do - you are awesome.
