Services
Dermatology
Our dermatology services diagnose and treat skin conditions in pets using advanced techniques. We address allergies, infections, and parasitic infestations through specialized testing and targeted treatments. Our approach combines medication, dietary recommendations, and environmental management to restore skin health and improve pet comfort.
Infectious Disease Diagnostics
We identify bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections through comprehensive lab work and imaging. Our in-house diagnostics enable rapid detection of diseases like heartworm, Lyme disease, and intestinal parasites. Early diagnosis allows immediate treatment to prevent complications and ensure pet recovery.
Cold Laser Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses specific light wavelengths to reduce inflammation and pain in pets. We employ it for arthritis management, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain conditions. The treatment stimulates cellular repair without requiring anesthesia, offering a drug-free option for improved mobility.
Acupuncture
Our certified practitioners use acupuncture to treat musculoskeletal issues, neurological conditions, and chronic pain. By stimulating specific points on the body, this ancient practice promotes natural healing and enhances conventional treatments. It's particularly effective for senior pets with mobility challenges.
Surgery and Anesthesia
We perform soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries with modern equipment and safety protocols. Our team provides spays, neuters, tumor removals, and fracture repairs using advanced anesthetic monitoring. Pre-surgical bloodwork and post-operative care ensure optimal outcomes for procedures ranging from routine to complex.

We are new to SATX and needed a vet. A friend recommended Dr. Corder. What a wonderful experience. The staff and Dr. Corder loved on my elderly pup and were so kind. Dr. Corder explained every supplement and the new diet to me and why we want to go with natural products in a manner that resonated with me. I immediately trusted him. I've had good vets in the past, but this was by far the best vet I have met. Lucky us!

Report
I took my daughter's dog last Saturday for what I thought was mange. Turns out it was fleas! They were so kind to Max. Today my youngest daughter and I took her dog Buddy to see Dr. Corder. I thought he would do better if we were there when Dr. Corder examined him. I learned so must about how to take care of his leg he was licking and the area around his tail, too. Then I mentioned how we had a terrible time trimming his nails because he didn't like his feet touched. In came Daniel who had Buddy's claws trimmed in record time! We will use this vet office from now on! Every single person from the front desk staff, to the doctor, to the technician were wonderful!
