Wellness Care
Our wellness programs focus on preventive care through annual checkups, vaccinations, and parasite screenings. We create customized health plans for pets at every life stage, emphasizing early disease detection and owner education. Services include heartworm testing, fecal exams, and lifestyle-based vaccination protocols tailored to each pet's specific needs.
Dentistry
We provide comprehensive dental care using advanced equipment and techniques. Services include professional cleanings, digital x-rays, treatment of periodontal disease, and oral surgery. Our team addresses tooth resorption, fractures, and oral tumors while prioritizing anesthesia safety through modern protocols and continuous patient monitoring during procedures.
Surgery
Our surgical services range from routine spays/neuters to complex soft tissue procedures using radiosurgery technology. We implement strict safety measures including IV catheters, continuous vital monitoring, and multi-modal pain management. Specialized procedures include gastropexy for bloat prevention and eyelid surgeries with post-operative care plans.
Ultrasound
We offer advanced abdominal and cardiac ultrasound diagnostics performed by Dr. Rowland, who has specialized training in this field. This non-invasive technology enables precise internal organ evaluation and helps diagnose conditions that traditional x-rays might miss. Our in-house capabilities provide faster diagnosis and treatment planning for critical cases.
Emergency Services
We provide 24/7 emergency veterinary care for urgent medical situations including trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses. Our facilities maintain critical care supplies and diagnostic tools for immediate intervention. The team handles emergency surgeries, infection treatments, and stabilization for transferred cases requiring specialized care.

Dr. Rowland is great. Our family had to make a difficult decision with our dog Buddy. Dr. Rowland was very comforting and let us stay as long as we needed to. Dr. Rowland even did a little extra for my boys.
Dr. Smock is great too. She did surgery on Buddy back in August. She called numerous times to check up on him. '
The staff is always nice when you call. They understood what we were going thru.

Dr. Rowland and his team at Access got me in for a late appointment to treat this stray I feed "Mr. Rags" that had a very swollen check and neck and they did an urgent procedure to remove an apple-sized pocket of infection and now Mr. Rags is out of pain and feeling 100% better! Thank you all so much!
