About us
Our practice has been serving our community for over fifty years and has built a reputation for delivering best-practice veterinary care with understanding and compassion. Having enjoyed the enviable stability of our leadership and ownership, we’re now looking for a like-minded veterinary professional to take up the reins due to the pending retirement of one of our senior team.
Our Doctors have a diverse range of interests across internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, and even theriogenology, and we will actively support the development and pursuit of your own specialty interests.
We are committed to providing a positive and highly professional environment for the entire team, now fifteen plus, many of whom have been with us for many years. We collaborate both internally and with pet owners to ensure quality diagnosis and timely treatment plans, and we always communicate what options are available and advisable.
We are client-focused, supportive, and friendly, and we continue to invest in our facility to ensure that you have all the resources you need to deliver quality veterinary care. We also understand that the foundation for our success is our team, and we are equally happy to invest in your development.
Over and above this is our interest in you as a person, from ensuring dedicated breaks to scheduled time off to even offering an understanding ear on those challenging days that may rarely but inevitably occur.
We have been taking our pets here for all of their needs for almost 5 years. Everyone we have dealt with has shown genuine concern for the well-being of our pets and has repeatedly gone out of their way to give them the best possible care. We are very grateful to them – Dylan M – Google Review
