Modern, comprehensive, and open around the clock, our hospital gives us a setting where we provide excellent veterinary care and dedicated client service. This state-of-the-art-facility features sixteen consultation rooms, a large central treatment ward, ICU runs, an on-site oxygen generator, a modern surgical suite with anesthetic monitoring, and digitized medical record keeping and radiology services. An in-house laboratory lets us administer tests immediately that help diagnose and treat your pet’s illness.
Radiology services include digital radiographs (X-rays) and ultrasound imaging. We can have a Board-Certified Veterinary Radiologist review radiographs any time of day and receive results within two hours.
