Medical
Report
Dr. Vilchez strongly believes prevention is the key to your pet's long-term health.
If a health problem or issue can be detected in its early stages, there is a far greater likelihood it can be treated with less difficulty, less expense, and greater success.
Annual or semi-annual preventative care examinations at our animal hospital are your veterinarian's chance to assess your pet's overall health, discuss any changes with you, educate and update you on advancements in medical care, and for you to discuss any concerns or questions you have.

Surgical
Report
Our state-of-the-art surgical suite is available for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures.
Routine surgical procedures are our specialty, which makes sense given our philosophy that specialists are better suited to the management of complex procedures.
Nonetheless, we will undertake more complex procedures when cost is an overriding factor for our clients.
We utilize the safest available anesthetics, tailored to your pet's individual needs, to provide an extra margin of safety - especially for our older or high-risk patients.
