We have a full IDEXX laboratory and digital x-ray on-site, cold laser, high-speed dental, and many other things to provide a comfortable and comprehensive experience for our patients. We have WONDERFUL clients, they truly love their pets and trust us to help them make the best healthcare choices, without the common restraints. We have been seeing many of them for over a decade and it's been wonderful to be able to care for a dog from puppy to super-senior! Our clients appreciate our supportive staff and how they add to a positive veterinary visit. We have great relations with referral practices and other veterinarians. Our staff is fun and devoted; they truly love what they do! While we do take our vet work seriously, we do enjoy each other & our free time: we took the staff to VMX this year, love to do CE events and enjoy celebrating staff birthdays at a sushi buffet. We do offer good benefits, flexible time off, and the ability to enjoy work-life balance- we know we can't take care of our patients if we don't take care of ourselves :)
