Earl Grey
"We
have such a special place in our hearts for Dr. Baum. He
never gives up on finding a way to help the animals have a
quality life, but will always give you the truth as to when
the animal begins to suffer so that appropriate steps can be
planned and taken."
From Margaret Cox & Al Schepps, who sent

"Thank You so much!! Even though it was not
a happy situation, me and my family thank you from the
bottom of our hearts. The Vet was excellent and the staff
was good, too! I didn't get a chance to thank the vet. I
feel like I made a good humane choice. I'm writing a story
about Bootsie and getting a picture to you, too."

"I’ve been coming to Center-Sinai and Dr. Baum for some
time. We’ve had both of our dogs here, and they’re really
compassionate, and caring. Our dogs stay happy and healthy.
They’ll always take calls, not like some in town, and our
neighborhood. I also like them because they remember us and
know what they have done for our dogs, and they give lots of
personal attention."

"We've been coming to Dr. Baum for about 16 years. My wife
and I have been very happy with the way our dogs have been
treated. We like to
stay with what works." Anon.

"I'm writing to say a huge thank you to Dr. Barry Baum, the wonderful
veterinarian who was responsible for saving the life of my cat, Tamba.
Cheers also to his exceptional staff at Center-Sinai Veterinary
Hospital, in Los Angeles, including all the remarkable, attentive front
office and vet techs who allowed and even encouraged things like night
visits when the little kid had to stay over. I'll never forget how
frightened Tamba was at first. But after the techs brought me a chair, I
took her onto my lap, IV's and all, and stayed for an hour. Then, I put
her back into her holding area, where she took a bath, and curled up for
a nap, contented, knowing she was not abandoned. Today, more than three
years later, she is one frisky kid, at the ripe old age of 13+." Ina

UPDATE: I brought Tamba in to see Dr. Baum in the fall, 2007,
after she threw up, then stopped eating for a day. It took us some
tests, some time, but once again, Tamba was healed after a very close
call. It turned out that she had probably sipped the water in the
swimming pool, and because her tummy was upset from it, stopped eating.
This was very scary -- five days without food and we lose our pussycats,
and it took several days of testing to finally sort everything out. It
was on the fifth day we got it. She is now scampering around, at age 17,
and jumping, back to her old fighting weight and spirit. Whew! And
again, a miracle. Thanks, Dr. Baum and the Center Sinai team, plus the
City of Angels Veterinary Center, where we were sent for special
testing.

"We've been coming for years. Our oldest cat is 11, and we were coming
before that, with bunnies, hamsters, birds, for at lest 14 years. Coming to Center-Sinai is
like having a family doctor for our pets. The atmosphere is very
friendly, Dr. Baum is nice. The doctors care, they don't just push you
through. I had a rat with tumors they removed, an obese parakeet we
thought had a tumor because he was so fat, a hermaphroditic cat. We came
in because we didn't know what we had ... Dr. Baum called us at home and
left a message, he was so surprised. He said in all his years in
veterinary medicine, he'd only seen one other hermaphroditic cat. And we
love the pens. They're all over the house. That's how we know the phone
number to call when we need to come in..." Griselda Molina
