Highly recommend Dr. Tadlock and Dr Thompson! I took my Roxy girl in last week for her first time and received exceptional care. I had to take her back in a week later for a problem visit which turned into emergency surgery. Dr Thompson was very caring and saved my girls life! I am forever grateful for Dr. Thompson and Dr. Tadlock. Staff as well were amazing! Doctors and staff make you feel as you are family – Livewell Animal Hospital of Little Elm – Googel Review
