I have already tried it and was very pleased.

It will only display the first 100 hits so unless you have an unusual name [or the first name is early in the alphabet] you are probably going to need a first name. All of the vets I am aware of were there -- which is pretty remarkable in my experience. Generally I'm lucky to find one or two.
