Radiology

New digital radiography equipment is utilized diagnostically for immediate interpretation by our staff doctors.  Radiographs are additionally reviewed by a certified veterinary radiologist at no additional cost to clients.  In addition, we use dental digital radiology for evaluation of your pet's teeth.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is an excellent noninvasive imaging tool that requires extensive experience to master. We have used ultrasound since 1999 and utilize this essential tool daily in our practice.

Rigid scopes attached to a xenon light source and displayed on a monitor allow the doctor to obtain a visual look into body cavities and perform surgical or diagnostic procedures with this minimally invasive method.
