Our office offers full diagnostic imaging services. We can take x-rays to show both bone and organ abnormalities. Ultrasound provides a movie-like image of the inside of the body. This will show us both abdominal and heart abnormalities.

We are able to perform complete in-house laboratory and diagnostic testing. For example, complete blood counts, chemistry panels, and urinalyses as well as testing for certain infectious and endocrine diseases can be performed on site.

We are proud of our state-of-the-art surgery suite. When major surgery is performed on your pet, it is done using sterile technique, injectable and/or gas anesthesia, and the use of a technician as an assistant. We employ full-time surgical technician. All sedated patients receive an endotracheal tube and an intravenous catheter to ensure the utmost in patient saftey. We conform to AAHA-standards, and deliver the most current surgical care to our patients. During surgery, monitoring can be done with pulse oximetry, respiration, temperature and blood pressure montoring. Our surgical procedures include the more general types such as ovariohysterectomies, neuters, and declaws; or more specialized surgeries such as orthopedic, ophthalmic, exotic animal procedures, and cancer surgeries.
