The clinic utilizes in-house Idexx laboratory, digital radiology and ultrasound, seven exam rooms, two surgical suites, ICU and post-operative recovery area, acupuncture and cold laser therapy, electro-cautery equipment, lift exam tables, and Cornerstone practice management software. The clinic has 7 doctors on staff, with another joining soon, and exclusively treats dogs and cats.
