We offer a unique combination of emergency, wellness, and referral medicine, giving our veterinarians the opportunity to see a diverse caseload while working alongside a highly experienced clinical and support team.

Our team provides opportunities to learn from experienced clinicians across emergency medicine, surgery, imaging, rehabilitation, and more. Dr. Sra leads our orthopedic services and ultrasound, while two of our DVMs perform endoscopy procedures.

We also hold monthly department meetings to review cases, discuss protocols, and continually improve patient care. Our veterinarians are encouraged to explore areas of medicine that interest them, observe procedures, and take part in hands-on learning opportunities.
