Our Apex Testimonials
Martini
Martini (right in picture) is a 5-year old Maltese and was referred to our hospital for evaluation of facial swelling and draining tracts. On close examination, discoloration of the two upper 4th premolars was noted. One tooth was able to be saved with root canal therapy. Martini's owner writes:
“I want to thank you so much for taking such great care of our beloved Martini. He is our child. There is no other way to put it. Martini and his sister Lola are the lights of our lives. Martini is back to playing with his sister as he did before his teeth started hurting him so bad. We knew he felt bad when the playing stopped. You have really shown us that the most important part of your practice is the care and well-being of the animal.
Thank you again Dr. Beebe. There are no words to say how much we appreciate your kindness and your help! And please thank your wonderful staff! They are very sweet."

Mercedes
Mercedes was seen by us for evaluation and treatment of oral pain and inflammation. We diagnosed tooth resorption along with retained roots, which can contribute to oral inflammation and pain. Oral surgery was performed to treat the teeth. After the surgery, Ms. R. noted that Mercedes' mouth seemed much more comfortable. In addition, Mercedes was no longer spending 23 hours of her day sleeping. Instead, she wanted to "play, play, play". Mercedes' owner writes:
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Mercedes. She is a "new" cat. I can barely get her to stop playing long enough to take her medicine. I can't remember the last time she felt this good. It gives me peace to see her so happy. I appreciate all you did."

Bear
Bear was brought to us with the hopes of curing the tumor on his jaw. When he first came in, he was having difficulty chewing. He was diagnosed with an osteoma, which commonly results in local damage to surrounding bone and teeth. The area with the tumor was completely removed to prevent re-growth. After the surgery, Bear did great and the owners were very pleased with the outcome of surgery. Bear's owners write:
“We will be forever grateful for all you did for our dog, Bear. He is doing great after surgery. We can tell he is feeling much better and he is definitely a happy dog once again. Thank you for the genuine concern for his welfare and the outstanding job you did in accomplishing a difficult procedure."

Bailey
Bailey was a 16-year old Domestic Short Hair cat who was treated for resorptive lesions and periodontal disease. When Bailey was brought to us, Ms. E. was reluctant to have a procedure done because she was concerned about how Bailey would be affected by anesthesia knowing she was older and that she had kidney disease. During anesthesia, we took the necessary precautions appropriate for a patient with kidney disease. Bailey did very well during the procedure and had her painful teeth treated. After the procedure, Ms. E. noted that Bailey was "acting like a much younger version of herself". Approximately 1-year after Bailey's procedure, Ms. E wrote:
“Just wanted to let you know I had to have my precious Bailey put to sleep. She was nearly 18 years old! You did major dental work on her, for which I am forever grateful. The last months of her life were of much higher quality than her previous years. Thank you for your patience and kindness toward Bailey and me."

Seri
Seri came to Apex with a recently fractured canine tooth. Because the canine tooth is large and important in function, Ms. J opted to save it with root canal therapy. Seri did wonderful under anesthesia and the procedure went smoothly. After the procedure, Ms. J wrote:
"I just wanted to let you know that Seri is doing absolutely fabulous and that her tooth looks amazing. You are definitely right... I don't think anyone will notice anything unless I point it out to them. Obviously, that speaks to your expertise!
I think you and Becki are the most caring people with the most awesome bedside manner. I appreciate the fact that you explained everything to me in detail and that you sent me copies of your notes to my veterinarian. Becki was so sweet and so accomodating with regard to Seri having to go through a root canal and anesthesia. You are very lucky to have her on your staff. Again, I so appreciate your expertise and your and Becki's caring nature. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will see you in 6 to 9 months for x-rays."

Mayer
Mayer's owner always tried to take care of her teeth and brush regularly. The 11 year old Dachshund came to us after Mr. S noted a hole in one of her teeth. After noticing the defect in the tooth, Mr. S drove all the way from Wyoming twice to make sure Mayer received the care she needed. Advanced oral surgery and periodontal care were performed. After the procedure Mr. S wrote about how Mayer was recovering:
"Thanks to everyone there for giving my little girl Mayer the care see needed. I got to say, I read about how people took their dogs to the canine dentist because the dog had a broken tooth or tooth problem and after it was fixed, how the dog seemed younger and had more energy. Mayer has always had energy but her eyes are more open, she wags her tail more, and her kisses don't stink. It could be because of her teeth being taken care of or all the special food she is enjoying, I think its the teeth part. Many thanks."

Maggie
Maggie presented to us after being diagnosed with Acanthomatous Ameloblastoma, a cancer located on her right lower jaw. Initially, Ms. K was reluctant to have her older pet undergo anesthesia and surgery. However, the surgery was performed to remove the tumor. Maggie recovered well and the tumor was completely removed (cured!). After the surgery, Ms. K noted that Maggie was acting like a puppy once again. Maggie's owner writes:
“I just wanted to thank you for taking such good care of Maggie. She looks great and is so energetic- just like her old self. I look forward to seeing you and your staff again. Thanks again for your excellent treatment of Maggie. "

Takota
Takota came to us for evaluation and treatment of a swelling of the upper jaw. A cyst structure and changes on radiographs (x-rays) were noted. The cyst had expanded to affect the bone and surrounding teeth. The area with the cystic changes was surgically removed. He did wonderful after surgery. The laboratory report evaluating the biopsy sample revealed that the entire cyst had been removed and that re-growth was unlikely. Takota's owner writes:
“We just wanted to write you a note to thank you for your care and concern for our Husky, Takota. We so appreciate your taking the time to explain his rare cyst and our treatment options. We are very happy to report that Takota is a completely normal dog these days, enjoying walks and napping on his own bed. Thanks again for your excellent care."
