I'm in the New Orleans area, but what place should I go to for my dog's echo?

MedVet is the one my vet referred me to, but I just wanted to hear some outside opinion. Ultimately, it won't change the diagnosis, but I just wanted to go to a place who people had a good experience with.

I've only had one referred patient go to MedVet for cardiology. Believe the specialist was Dr. Vila and I thought he did good work. Owners were happy with him and the report back to me was timely and thorough.

Prayers for your dog. One of ours was diagnosed with canine cancer a little over a month ago. Sucks.

They are legit and not as expensive as others out there. My shorthair spent 2 weeks in ICU there with 24 hour care and a transfusion and the total was less than $4500

ETA: Their specialist know what they are doing.

Dr Strickland does more a multi location referral thing but I can't believe anyone in the area has better skills

8lb pomeranian that walked into a family store 5 years ago. Tried to find the owner and never could, took him to the vet to see if he was chipped and nada.

Spent over 1k that month to get him all up to date with dental extractions, vaccinations, and the whole deal. But unfortunately with unknown age, we found out he has dilated cardiomyopathy and now on meds. Echo is just for me to see disease progression more than anything, some vets told me its not completely necessary

I was very pleased with the services I received at Magazine Animal Clinic.
