I am an expert here. I had female surgery twice and both my children at that hospital, one was premature at 31 weeks. I can never say enough kind words about that hospital, they are terrific, even the ER is fantastic compared to the over 4 hours of hell I experienced this past weekend at St. Mary's Hospital. I am in the opinion that I would not take my dog to St. Mary's Hospital. I'll drive to Southern Maryland or Civisita Medical Center in La Plata before doing that again.
They are a great hospital and if by chance anything would go wrong, they will medivac you out quickly.
