Vaccinations

Our vaccination programs protect pets from common infectious diseases through tailored schedules for puppies, kittens, and adult animals. We offer core vaccines like rabies and distemper, plus lifestyle-based recommendations for bordetella and leptospirosis. Preventive care packages include wellness exams and parasite control.

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic procedures use small incisions and specialized cameras to perform surgeries like spays and organ biopsies. This technique reduces recovery time, minimizes pain, and lowers infection risks compared to traditional methods. Our board-certified surgeons use the latest equipment for abdominal procedures.

Acupuncture

Licensed veterinarians administer acupuncture to treat chronic pain, arthritis, and neurological conditions using fine needles at specific points. This integrative approach stimulates natural healing and improves mobility. Sessions often complement conventional treatments for chronic illnesses or post-operative recovery.

Dental Care

We provide comprehensive dental services including cleaning, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Digital dental radiography identifies hidden oral disease. Preventive plans address tartar buildup and bad breath, while surgical interventions correct fractures and malocclusions under anesthesia.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound exams visualize internal organs using sound waves without radiation. We use this for abdominal evaluations, pregnancy confirmation, and guiding biopsies. Our high-resolution machines detect abnormalities in kidneys, liver, and heart structures for accurate diagnoses.

Dr. Timanoff takes care of my 10 year old dog. This last visit I couldnt go, my husband took him. I had questions. Left a message. She graciously took time from her day to call and address my questions personally. They really not only put your pet first but the owner as well

I took my dog Maddy for her annual appointment, and the customer service was outstanding. The doctor was very friendly and complimented Maddy for how healthy she was. The assistant who came out and took Maddy listened to all my requests and issues Maddy was having and told the doctor. The doctor followed up with me with all my issues and gave me information on how to solve some of my concerns. I would highly recommend this vet to anyone!

I attempted to have my pet seen there and they were very nasty on the phone. I received a call back and they said that they could offer me an emergency visit if I brought my cat in the following morning between 8 to 9 Am (today). Hi And when I brought her in they said there was no appointment but put me in a room to get my information. And then some woman came in and said (and not very nicely) that no appointment and leave. No apology except to say that maybe the appointment I made was somewhere else. I dont think so. No offer to reschedule or see the cat today. If you want rude and absolutely

They. Love. Your. Furbabies!! I love that they always call you the next day to check in on your fur baby (and you! ) I had way more anxiety than my Beau at his neutering and they made sure that he (and I) were both doing okay post-op. Your babies are in such great and caring hands here! Picture is my boy a few hours after his neuter - still coming off his anesthesia

I can't say enough great things about the staff at this place. The vets are excellent, HOWEVER it is also THE STAFF who are outstanding. I'm dog sitting for a friend's dog. The staff know the dog well, so when I called with an urgent Rx situation they were able to help me professionally and personably. They explained the steps and protocol and I know full well that I will be able to care for my friend's dog.
