... Hi Mary, I have been really lucky with NC State. They did not even do the surgery and Dr. Marcellin is so fair and takes wonderful care of Dude. The...
I saw that Diana had mentioned doing a Ortalani test to see if the TPO truly turned out ok. At what time is it recommended to do this test? Is there a certain...
