Our focus at Knollwood is integrative preventative care and wellness examinations. We provide complete, expert medical examinations, focused on teaching you what you need to know and to do, to keep your pet as healthy as possible. However, if you need help with ANY medical problem, rest assured that we can - and will - deal with it in a prompt, professional manner. Our Doctors maintain the highest level of continuing education possible, completing literally hundreds of hours of training at advanced medical and surgical seminars each year. And, since they often lecture at these same seminars, you know you'll always get the latest and best information on how to resolve your pet's medical issues!

Medical Diagnostics
We are problem solvers!  Our Doctors and Nurses are expert at resolving even tricky medical dilemmas. Whether your pet needs basic or advanced diagnostics to identify what is wrong, we can help. We can perform many diagnostic procedures right here in our hospital, from identifying what exactly that mysterious new lump on your cat is, to performing x-rays, checking your pet's blood pressure and performing cardiac screenings, and running blood and urine tests. We also utilize the finest medical laboratories in the area, to insure fast, accurate results. Our Doctors and Nurses work closely with specialists in all areas of veterinary medicine, including cardiologists (heart), dental specialists, dermatologists (skin), imaging specialists (ultrasound, MRI, CAT scans), orthopedic surgeons (bones and joints), oncologists (cancer), and ophthalmologists (eyes).

Vaccinations
You may be over-vaccinating! Today's watchword on vaccinations is "individualized." That means that we tailor vaccine protocols to your pet's specific needs, after a careful discussion with you about the risks your pet faces.  We'll explain what your pet needs - and what your pet doesn't need - and why. We'll also tell you about today's alternatives to yearly vaccines. All of our staff are up to date on the newest vaccine recommendations.  And these aren't just our ideas - they represent input from major veterinary groups such as the American Animal Hospital Association, the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Association of Feline Practitioners, and the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association.  All of these groups have published statements attesting to the need to be cautious about vaccines.
