Doctor Barbara Swahlen was my greyhound Frieda's last, and best veterinarian. Frieda had some great vets in her sixteen years, but Dr. Swahlen showed consideration, kindness, and true love in her treatment of Frieda and Lili, my white whippet. What's more important Dr. Swahlen was kind and understanding of my financial condition at that time. Her excellent diagnostic skills, her competent professional services and, above all, her simple human decency, touched me in a way I shall never forget.
