I would gladly recommend him, but I wouldn't claim he's inexpensive.

I've taken my kittens there for their shots and checkups. All of the people are very friendly, and they obviously care a great deal about animals, because they are extremely kind to them. The clinic is located on Baum Blvd almost directly north of CMU. Take Morewood away from campus; turn left on Baum; the clinic is about two blocks away on the right, across from a car dealership (I think this is Mervis Motors). Good luck! -allan Date: 3 Sep 1986 12:47-EDT From: Chuck.Weinstock@sei.cmu.edu To: Jon.Gotow@k.cs.cmu.edu Subject: Re: Veterinarian Don't know where you live, but if it is Shadyside/Sq. Hill, try the Greenfield Vet (I forget the name, but I think it's on Greenfield Ave, just around the corner from Dominos.) We live across the H.P. Bridge and use Swart in Fox Chapel. We were happy with both. Chuck Weinstock Date: 3 Sep 1986 13:04-EDT From: Allan.Heydon@theory.cs.cmu.edu To: Jon.Gotow@k Subject: Spay and Vac P.S.

So I suppose I'll add my opinion, too. If you have a car and don't mind traveling a few miles, the best place I know is the Aspinwall Veterinary Clinic near the Waterworks Plaza off old Rt. 28 in Fox Chapel. It is also known as Swart Veterinary Clinic. If you go to clinic hours, it costs less than a scheduled appointment and these people are available 24 hours a day, every single day if you have an emergency. That, to me, is very important. An arm of that clinic is the Shadyside Veterinary Clinic in front of the big Giant Eagle which sits back from Shady Avenue. A couple of the vets who practice with Swart started this place a few years ago. They can handle routine stuff there - but there is no hospital. Emergencies areh andled thru the Aspinwall clinic. If you go to Shadyside, be sure to see Dr. Murphy. He is the most caring person I have ever seen who workings with animals. Swart may be next.

Bob Date: Wed 3 Sep 86 14:29:17-EDT From: "Art Evans" Subject: Re: Veterinarian To: Jon.Gotow@K.CS.CMU.EDU We use Dr Swart, 1152 Freeport Road in Aspinwall, 781-6446. When we lived in Squirrel Hill we used Dr. Babik, 611 Greenfield Av, 422-7755. We like both of them because the doctors are truly gentle to our dog.

I don't know how he compares pricewise, but he is very good, gentle, and listens when you talk. His name is Daniel Murphy, and he is part of a clinic that has offices near the Shadyside Giant Eagle and also in Fox Chapel. He is listed in the phone book.
