Services
Dentistry
Our dental services address periodontal disease prevention and treatment through professional cleanings, extractions, and oral health education. We utilize modern techniques to manage plaque buildup, treat gum disease, and maintain proper dental alignment in pets. Regular dental checkups help prevent systemic infections that can affect vital organs.
Dermatology
We diagnose and treat skin conditions through allergy testing, parasite identification, and infection management. Our approach addresses environmental factors, food sensitivities, and hormonal imbalances affecting skin health. Comprehensive care includes topical treatments and systemic therapies for chronic dermatological issues.
Emergency Medicine
Critical care services handle trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses during regular hours. Our team stabilizes patients with IV fluids, pain management, and diagnostic imaging. Severe cases receive immediate attention while maintaining communication with pet owners about treatment options.
Surgery
We perform spays, neuters, mass removals, and complex orthopedic procedures using pre-anesthetic bloodwork and multi-modal pain control. Surgical patients receive continuous monitoring and post-operative care plans. Specialized referrals available for advanced procedures like cruciate repairs.
Ultrasound
Diagnostic ultrasound provides real-time visualization of internal organs without radiation exposure. This technology aids in evaluating heart function, detecting tumors, and monitoring pregnancies. Abdominal and cardiac ultrasounds help formulate precise treatment plans for complex medical cases.

Report
My very first visit cost me over $1700. Ended up with bills around $4000 so many tests and a surgery that in the end really did not need to be done. My dog is still sick. Not once has he ever called to follow up on my dog. There were so many tests. I had to make an appointment for the results. A friend called about her sick dog that Dr. Nissan had been treating, he never returned the call. I'm so disappointed.

Dr Nissan is a very caring and compassionate vet/surgeon. He takes his time with you to go over each detail. Staff are also very nice as well. Easy access to and from this parking lot and not like other shoe box locations in this town.
