Diagnostics

Our on-site laboratory enables rapid diagnostic testing while advanced imaging technology including x-rays and ultrasound helps identify internal issues. Timely diagnosis improves treatment outcomes through early intervention. Our diagnostic capabilities support comprehensive veterinary care for both routine checkups and urgent medical concerns.

Surgery

We provide both routine and complex surgical procedures with comprehensive preoperative screening and pain management. Our surgical care includes pre-operative preparation, intraoperative monitoring, and detailed post-operative recovery protocols. The experienced surgical team prioritizes patient comfort and safety throughout the entire process.

Dentistry

Professional dental services address both preventive care and treatment of oral diseases. We handle routine cleanings, extractions, and dental disease management to prevent systemic health issues from untreated oral infections. Our dentistry program emphasizes year-round oral health maintenance.

Laser Therapy

Non-invasive laser therapy treats chronic pain, arthritis, and post-surgical recovery through light-based tissue regeneration. This treatment option reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and improves mobility without pharmaceutical side effects. Treatment protocols are customized to each pet's specific condition.

Behavioral Counseling

We address unwanted behaviors through medical evaluation and customized training plans. Our approach identifies underlying medical causes before developing behavior modification strategies. Services cover house training issues, anxiety management, and aggression resolution with owner education components.

Great place for your pets. These people really care. It is hard to find a caring vet, but this is the place. Still great service.

I drove five hours to take our two dogs to get their x-rays for OFA certifications done by Dr. Parsons. That's how great they are

The front staff are very friendly. There was a cat who greeted us when we came in. The vet tech took our two cats from us and brought them back to us in the lobby in less than 10 minutes. Our cats were getting their rabies shots, so no reason for us to go with the cats. All in all a very easy and pleasant experience. Highly recommend this vet.

Efficient, friendly staff. Unfortunately, they are not wearing masks during the pandemic. You can sit in your car, & they will take your pet inside for treatment, if you're comfortable with that.

Took my two dogs for annual yesterday. Vet tech asked if I'd like to have nails clipped. I said yes, and thanked her for asking. I assumed they would be careful since this can be such a traumatizing and painful experience if not done well. This morning one of my dogs was clearly in pain. Took her back to the vet, and they examined her and said they could see nothing wrong. No apology was offered and no suggestions provided to help alleviate the pain.

I told vet that dog was in so much pain that she hadn't even been up to go outside to relieve herself, and her response was suggest that you take care of that before you put her in the car. My take is that this vet did not take responsibility for their work, and showed no compassion for the painful results they created. I will not be back.
