Endoscopy

Video-endoscopic imaging of the internal organs allows us to look inside the stomach, intestinal tract, trachea and lungs without major surgery. We can remove foreign objects or take biopsies to help diagnose chronic problems without major surgery.

Dentistry

We perform dental scaling and polishing (prophylaxis) for dogs and cats. To do this we utilize ultrasonic scaling technology and a high speed polishing unit. In addition, during the dental procedure, we evaluate the oral cavity for health and offer solutions for diseased teeth and gums (gingivitis). We also can perform digital dental x-rays to better diagnose and treat dental disease in your pet.

Ultrasound

We have the latest technology in ultrasound equipment. This allows much greater diagnostic capabilities on your pet. We can see into the abdomen and examine the kidneys, liver, prostate or uterus. Ultrasound is the best way to evaluate the heart for diseases, allowing optimal treatment. We can examine the eyes for tumors, abscesses or retinal problems. Pregnancy examinations with ultrasound is the safest and earliest method of detection. We utilize ultrasound to guide biopsies of the internal organs or masses in the body.
