Appointments, emergencies, surgeries…
Whatever your practice needs, I’ll do it with expertise and compassion.
appointments • routine dentistry • extractions • sedated procedures • house calls • spay • neuter • major and minor mass removal • inguinal hernia repair • cystotomy • gastropexy • exploratory surgery • pyometra surgery • enucleation • third eyelid repair • laceration repair • cesarean section • amputation • splenectomy • correction of gastric dilatation and volvulus • in-home hospice care • in-home euthanasia
Note: Let’s work three shifts together before scheduling surgeries.
my way of thinking is simple:
Pets and people should be happy and well cared for.
As a veterinarian on your team, I will prioritize:
- fitting in with your hardworking team members
- comforting your patients with a warm bedside manner
- completing all tasks quickly and efficiently
- respecting your clients’ time constraints
