They are the first faces you see when you enter Crown and the last faces you see when you leave. They are compassionate, and organized, even when we have a full waiting room. They are the ones who get yelled at by sad or angry owners. Being the front line is not an easy job and our receptionists do it with grace.

Please help save our opossums. They are not dangerous and are actually quite helpful because they eat a TON of ticks. Thank you!

Dear Dr. P and Dr. Markstein,
Hi. It’s me. The pigeon.
Yes, that pigeon.
I’ve been advised (by my legal team, aka Kelly holding a cookie) to issue a formal apology regarding the… “incident.”
Dr. P : about the wing slap.
In my defense, you existed near me in a way I found emotionally overwhelming. One minute I was calm, composed, a gentleman… the next minute my wing said, “we ride at dawn,” and I simply did not stop it. Was it right? No. Was it powerful? Also no, but I committed anyway. I’m sorry you were the chosen one.
Dr. Markstein:
I’m not going to sugarcoat this. That was a direct hit.
A precision strike.
NASA could not have calculated that trajectory better.
I want to be clear: it was not revenge, it was not anger… it was biology mixed with extremely poor decision-making. Wrong place, wrong time, extremely right aim.
I understand there were consequences
Emotional damage
Physical damage (to dignity)
Possibly a wardrobe situation
For this, I am deeply, deeply… mildly sorry.
Please accept these cookies as a peace offering. I did not make them, but I supervised aggressively.

With the deepest regret a pigeon can legally feel,
The Offender 🐦 Door K**b
(Current status: still cute, still dangerous)

This is Luna, a 5 year old French Bulldog with her owner during her one of her last recheck appointments. She was seen through our neurology service in 2025 for trouble walking. She was incredibly weak and wobbly in her back legs. She had an MRI, spinal tap and infectious disease testing. Dr. Simon diagnosed her with meningomyelitis of unknown etiology (MUE). She was treated with immunosuppressive medications and improved dramatically! She was gradually weaned off over months. We are so happy that she continues to do well off of medications!

And our adorable patient, Dallas, came in full costume for his appointment today!
