Dx & Tx
As a referral and after-hours emergency veterinary hospital, our veterinarians do not provide wellness, prophylactic or primary care. We promote pet wellness by encouraging pet owners to schedule annual visits with their family veterinarians. Our doctors focus on their areas of specialized medicine to provide your patients with the expertise needed to diagnose and treat uncommon and complex illnesses.
