  • I can't recommend VMCLI enough. My bulldog puppy, Benson was given around 6 months to live by our regular vet due to a preexisting heart condition. Dr. Morgenstein and the cardiology team at VMCLI gave him life-saving surgery and due to their kindness and skilled professionalism, he will now likely live a normal, healthy life.
