Services
Pet Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams assess pets' overall health through head-to-toe evaluations. Veterinarians review medical history, diet, and behavior while examining eyes, ears, heart, lungs, skin, and teeth. These preventive visits help detect early signs of disease and establish baseline health metrics. Our doctors spend quality time with each patient to ensure accurate assessments and build trust with nervous animals.
Pet Vaccinations
We administer safe, effective vaccines to protect against common pet diseases. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering individual risk factors. Vaccinations help prevent life-threatening illnesses like parvovirus and rabies while reducing disease severity when exposure occurs. Our team educates owners about core and elective vaccine options tailored to each pet's lifestyle and environment.
Pet Lab Work
In-house and external lab services provide rapid, accurate diagnostic results. We perform blood, urine, and fecal tests to detect infections, organ dysfunction, and metabolic disorders. Digital radiography helps evaluate internal organs, bones, and soft tissues without invasive procedures. These diagnostic tools enable timely treatment decisions while minimizing patient discomfort during the evaluation process.
Pet X-Ray
Digital radiography offers non-invasive internal imaging with minimal radiation exposure. This technology helps diagnose fractures, heart conditions, and organ abnormalities through detailed anatomical visualization. Our equipment captures high-resolution images that can be enhanced digitally for better diagnostic accuracy. X-rays assist in evaluating skeletal structures and monitoring chronic conditions like arthritis or heart disease progression.
Pet Surgical Procedures
We perform spays, neuters, and soft tissue surgeries using modern anesthetic protocols. Pre-surgical evaluations include physical exams and bloodwork to minimize risks. Our surgical suite maintains strict sterility standards while post-operative care focuses on pain management and recovery monitoring. We emphasize client education about home care requirements and potential complications following procedures.

Report
If you value your pet you will take them somewhere else. He missed a simple bowel obstruction in my cat after I initially told him that is what I thought it was. Initial visit my cats liver was fine. Multiple calls informing this vet of vomiting issues ( I was syringe feeding the cat) later he saw the cat again and another vet visit to him he said he had an obstruction and he didn't have time for the surgery and told me he needed to go to an emergency vet that night. I immediately took him to an emergency vet to find out his liver was too far gone to save him because of the malnourishment. I trusted
