Services
Pet Surgical Services
Our surgical services include comprehensive pre-operative evaluations with complete blood work, 17-panel chemistry profiles, and advanced diagnostic testing. We perform routine procedures like spays and neuters alongside complex surgeries using modern anesthetic protocols. Our team maintains continuous monitoring through registered veterinary technicians who track vital signs and maintain intravenous access for immediate response capabilities.
Pet Vaccinations
We offer core and non-core vaccinations following AVMA guidelines using ultra-purified vaccines that allow reduced dosing while maintaining efficacy. Our program includes rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia protection with customized schedules based on individual pet risk factors. We emphasize safety through careful dose calculation and monitoring for adverse reactions.
Pet Fecal Exams
Our fecal examination service detects intestinal parasites through comprehensive stool analysis. We identify organisms like roundworms and hookworms that pose health risks to pets and humans. The process includes microscopic evaluation for ova and parasites, with recommendations for appropriate deworming protocols when necessary.
Pet Anesthesia Monitoring
Our anesthesia monitoring includes continuous tracking of temperature, pulse, respiratory rates, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and capillary refill times. Each patient receives intravenous catheter placement for fluid therapy and emergency medication access. Registered veterinary technicians maintain constant vigilance throughout procedures to ensure optimal anesthetic safety.
Pet Microchipping
We provide permanent identification solutions through microchip implantation using ISO-standard devices readable by universal scanners. The rice-sized chip is placed subcutaneously for secure identification. We assist with registration processes and emphasize the importance of keeping contact information updated in the chip database for maximum effectiveness.

Many years ago I took my dog to Dr. Woods. I moved away and my mom started using her. My mom got very ill and couldnt take her dying pet in so Dr Woods went to her. Now I am back. We adopted a kitten from pet smart come to find out the kitten was overdosed with meds and therefore has neurological issues. She is always willing to do what she can to get us in. Tomorrow we have to put the kitten down as she is getting really bad. Dr Woods will be comforting to my son who is ASD as well as fit us in to take this poor baby out of her misery. Thank you so much Dr Woods. PS we live 45 min away and

If you care about your furry kids you wont go to this vet. We were treated so horribly by the vet tech I am concerned about how our pets were treated when we arent with them. She snapped at us as soon as we entered the front door. Then when I rejected the micro chip for our indoor cat she lectured me on not taking care of my cat. This isnt our first visit to this vet but it is certainly our last ! The convenience of using a local vet is far outweighed by the stress of dealing with the vet tech who has been rude and confrontational from the first moment she started working there. She either
