After high school, he earned an undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Texas.

During your visit, our doctors will perform a nose to tail exam on your pet, checking all visible body systems for signs of concern. Regular physical exams are important as many health issues are much easier and less expensive to treat earlier on rather than later. We are here to help! Your concerns are our concerns, no matter how small or how many.

For us "low stress" is thinking about the veterinary experience from our patient's perspective and making changes with the goal of lowering stress levels and in turn creating a more positive visit for everyone, including our clients! Our team is trained to recognize signs of stress and respond appropriately.
