Short answer: No

Explanation:

paw bullet point Dr. Brown understands that pets are family and that choosing a veterinarian is an important decision however it is not possible for Dr. Brown to personally respond to interviews or chats prior to scheduling. Dr. Browns main focus is the care of her patients. She spends her time either with patients or traveling from patient to patient. The only way for her to respond to such requests is to charge a fee for her time as the accommodation of such requests would diminish schedule availability for appointments and patient care while quickly leading to burn out. In a profession that has one of the highest rates of compassion fatigue and suicide amongst all other medical professions this type of request adds undo stress to an already fragile profession
