Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams include physical evaluations of all major organ systems and lifestyle assessments. We monitor weight changes, administer necessary vaccinations, and recommend diagnostic testing to detect early disease signs. These visits enable personalized healthcare planning and owner education about pet health considerations.
Dental Care
We provide professional dental cleanings, oral examinations, and periodontal disease treatment. Our services include dental x-rays, tartar removal, and client education about at-home oral care. We address bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease to prevent systemic health complications from untreated dental issues.
Surgery
Our surgical services range from routine spays/neuters to complex procedures with advanced monitoring. We implement strict safety protocols, anesthesia oversight, and postoperative pain management. Patients receive continuous care from preoperative assessments through recovery follow-ups to ensure optimal surgical outcomes.

Digital radiography enables non-invasive internal organ evaluation for diagnosing fractures, heart conditions, and abdominal abnormalities. We use low-dose radiation imaging for safe diagnostics in pets of all ages. Our team interprets radiographic findings to develop targeted treatment plans for various medical conditions.

Dr. Berman is the most caring and dedicated veterinarian I have ever had treat my precious pets. I've been going to him for over 8 years. His compassion and support before, during and after the time I had to send my dog, Baby over the Rainbow Bridge was genuinely heartfelt. He and his staff go above and beyond to make sure you feel like family. I personally feel his PRICES are VERY REASONABLE. I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else!

Report
I had the unfortunate circumstance of having to put my dog down. It was a very difficult time for me, but I knew that Dr. Berman was the one person I could go to for both professional help and compassion. It was far from easy, but Dr. Berman did as he always does - he gave me and my dog his full and undivided attention and patience even as he had others waiting for him and when things didn't go as simply and quickly as may have been planned. He is truly a one of a kind vet, and quite a special person. In fact, a few days later I received a 2-sided, hand-written card in the mail from Dr. Berman

I usually see Dr. Berman but I was able to get in earlier for my itchy dog with the other vet. They are great at explaining the course of action and my dog was unsurpassed and happy when he came out. Very organized!
