Maggie Rothman

Magic was performed here! The fecal transplants recommended by Dr. Buchoff have transformed my 15-year-old, stiff and unwell cat into a (relatively) lithe, interested-in-the-world creature with glossy fur. I couldn't have imagined that such a profound change could happen overnight.

Dr Buchoff and his team are amazing! We had to put my daughter's guinea pig, Ali, down and they were so kind, patient and compassionate with both my daughter and Ali. One of the assistants, Isha, spent probably over 15 minutes just sympathizing with my daughter about how hard it is to lose a beloved pet, and calming her down. I can't say enough good things about this place!
