Or, just outside the city, on the east side is the Veterinary Cancer Center, Norwalk, CT http://www.vcch.....pe.com/.  They recently renovated and I think boast having the largest oncology practice in the country (though, I suspect that's based on square footage).  There are 6 Dr's on staff, many are residents.  We are seeing Dr Olmstead - a resident.  She was perky, optimistic, and knew her stuff.  Although she encouraged us to seek holistic care and is very accepting of the supplements we want to use, she didn't know much about holistic options.  I guess that's OK (she's NOT a holistic vet after all!), but after reading the Dog Cancer Survival Guide , it would be nice to have someone familiar (even briefly) with holistic approaches.  Such as, she didn't see an issue with vaccinating Jackson during chemo (hmmm?).  Anyway....we're  comfortable with her knowledge of the field and treatment protocols, with the hospital, and the "system" they've worked out.  There's a person, Ryan, who is the coordinator between our regular vet and the onco practice.  He was there for Jackson's first appointment, listening to the onco and all our questions and meeting our pup.  I like that very much.  It's Ryan's job to inform Jackson's regular vet about what's going on.  That's a nice service!  Unlike rica55 above with Jill's hospital, I don't know if you can drop your buddy off at VCC; I drive Jackson down and wait the 45min until he's ready for a ride home.  I suspect they'd hold your furry friend until you're able to get him or her.  It's odd recommending a place like this - I never wanted to.  If I never knew about it, I'd be happier.  Alas, here we are.  It's clearly a well-used practice and I have no qualms about the care Jackson is getting and the access we have to an expert (in this case, b/c Dr Olmstead is a resident, MANY experts!).
