Having a pet diagnosed with cancer is a difficult time for clients and their families. Dr. Evans strives to provide the pet owner with all potential diagnostic and treatment options available to their pet, from multimodal cancer therapy to palliative care. A patient’s quality of life is the most important aspect of guiding therapy, and she will help provide clients with information necessary to make the best possible treatment decisions for the pet and the client.
