Dentistry
Healthy teeth and gums are key to your pet's good health. We offer FREE in-hospital dental consultations with our trained Veterinary Nurses. They'll work with you to develop a comprehensive plan to improve your pet's health, starting with good dental hygiene. Regular professional care of your pet's teeth and gums is necessary for most pets, just as it is for you. The old, tired adage that eating a dry pet food maintains healthy teeth just isn't true, any more than eating only dry, hard food would maintain your teeth without help from a dentist!  Our Veterinary Dental Team is lead by Dr. Mary Papacek.

General Surgery
All of our Doctors are excellent soft tissue surgeons. But that's only the start. We offer the latest in anesthetic and monitoring techniques to make surgery as safe as possible for your pet, from start to finish. The anesthesia is carefully calculated, and based on the patient's weight, body type, and breed. Each surgery patient is under constant supervision by a highly trained Nurse. Surgical monitoring includes, but is certainly not limited to, steady monitoring and record-keeping of the patient's heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, pulse oximetry, EKG, and fluid needs.  We can even monitor your pet's blood pressure!  And, we offer an integrated approach to pain management that incorporates elements of traditional non-steroidal medications, homeopathics, herbal medicine, and acupuncture.  Our Veterinary Surgery Team is headed by Dr. Mary Papacek.
