Description of Elective Experience: 

We are a progressive, fast paced, 4 doctor small animal practice with emphasis on surgery and medicine cases.  We have a growing, thriving urgent care practice Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 12pm - 10pm.  However, since opening urgent care we do see cases throughout the week that are fit into our normally scheduled GP appointments.  We pride ourselves on providing a learning environment for both doctors and support staff.  We provide orthopedic, soft tissue, urogenital, and general surgery options for our patients and their families.
