Sammy is our 5-year-old Goldendoodle. He has helped me, my family, my staff and many of my patients with his “I’m so happy to see you” attention he gives unconditionally. He comes to work at the office with me 3 days a week and makes patients feel welcomed and more comfortable! Sammy boy, you are loved!
