Rochester’s Top Choice for Veterinary Care!

Providing the best possible medical care for your pets

Our Mission

We have a vision of modern medicine with a casual and enjoyable environment to help build long term relationships with clients, patients, and staff. Our lobby wall states: “May you enter as guests but leave as friends” and we mean it. Our clients are considered extended family, and we experience their joys and pain along with them.  We are continuously striving to understand and adapt to create options for people living varied lifestyles and financial abilities to do our best for their companions in each individual situation. Veterinary medicine with realistic expectations tailored for individuals and their pets is the goal at this practice. In a world with large corporations taking over veterinary practices built upon a profit-over-passion mentality, our mission is to stay small, warm, flexible, and personable.  We make every effort to create a work environment for staff to feel valued, protected and encouraged to use their skills and compassion to make a positive experience in someone’s life every day.

What We Do

Dental Health

Dental hygiene is an important part of your pet’s health, because dental disease can be associated with other serious health problems such as heart disease and kidney disease.

Wellness Care for a Lifetime

Wellness examinations help us establish a relationship with you and your pet. Through your pet’s physical examinations, other wellness procedures, and our consultations with you, we get to know your pet and learn about his or her lifestyle, personality, health risks, home environment, and other important information.

Digital Radiology & Ultrasound

Radiographs are an important tool that can help us make a correct diagnosis for your pet. Our ultrasound technology is state-of-the-art. By utilizing these advancements in veterinary medicine, we can identify issues more efficiently and accurately.

Internal Medicine

Cardiology Services

We are committed to helping improve the lives of pets with heart-related issues.

Testimonials

What Our Pet Parents Are Saying...

I never thought a dog could love going to the vet, but mine sure do! Even my shy and skittish little lady who hates the vet takes her visits like a champ, and that’s due largely in part to a team who cares about her comfort and wellbeing while she’s there. I can’t say enough good things about the staff and the wonderful service they provide. Thanks for everything!

S.C., Facebook Review

All the staff here are fantastic! From caring for our Tilly, to helping our sweet Portia to the Rainbow Bridge, to our current “wild child” Emmylou; they are the best! Thanks for all you do!

M.C., Facebook Review

Great people who genuinely care about my dogs. One just had a surgery to remove a toe, and they did everything they could to make the process easy for all of us, human and canine.

G.S., Facebook Review

I have been going to this vet and her team since she took over from the previous vet when he passed away. This three vet team has continued to provide the excellent service that dates way back to 1984 in tradition, when I first came to the office with my first dog. The care could not be better. I am now on dogs 5, 6 and 7 who they have cared for since birth. They are 10 years old. My fur babies 1, 2 3 and 4 all lived long lives because of the good care they received. And when they went over the rainbow bridge, the team took good care of me too.

If you want to feel like your animals are family and so are you. This is the place to go.
