Services
Dentistry
Our comprehensive dental services prevent and treat oral diseases that can impact pets' overall health. We offer professional cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatments using modern equipment. Regular dental care helps prevent heart, liver, and kidney issues caused by untreated dental disease. Our team educates pet owners about home care routines to maintain optimal oral health between professional visits.
Surgery
We provide advanced surgical care with experienced veterinary surgeons and state-of-the-art equipment. Our surgical services include soft tissue procedures, orthopedic repairs, and emergency interventions. Patients receive comprehensive pre-operative assessments and post-operative care plans. We maintain strict sterilization protocols and monitoring systems to ensure surgical safety and successful recovery outcomes.
Wellness Exams
Regular wellness examinations help detect health issues in early stages when treatment is most effective. Our comprehensive exams assess all body systems and establish health baselines for each pet. We tailor vaccination schedules and preventive care plans to individual needs. These visits also provide opportunities to discuss nutrition, behavior, and parasite prevention strategies with our veterinary team.
Orthopedics
Our orthopedic services address musculoskeletal conditions including fractures, joint problems, and ligament injuries. Board-certified specialists perform procedures like TPLO, TTA, and MLP surgeries for cruciate injuries. We utilize advanced imaging techniques for accurate diagnoses and develop comprehensive rehabilitation plans. The service continues Dr. Brown's legacy of excellence in orthopedic care for companion animals.
Behavior Management
We help address behavioral issues through specialized consultations and customized treatment plans. Our approach combines environmental modifications, training techniques, and medical interventions when needed. Services include fear reduction strategies and socialization guidance. The Fear Free certified team creates low-stress environments to help pets overcome anxiety and develop positive associations with veterinary visits.
