My ferret Cully had an adrenal gland removed at Angell Memorial in Jamaica
Plain by the surgeons there-- his regular vet at Angell Memorial is Dr.
Tracey Ritzman, whom I wholeheartedly recommend.  I don't believe she did
the surgery herself, but she sat in on the procedure, I think.  Cully and I
are super-happy with Dr. Ritzman, who really knows her stuff and is
sensitive to owner needs as well.  She's also got a great vet tech who love
ferrets too ;-) Price was within the reasonable range.  The only criticism
I would have of Angell is that paperwork and follow-up tends to be a bit
slow, but they're doing the best with what they have, and the on-the-spot
care is excellent, so I don't mind putting up with the occasional
inconvenience.
