VCA takes pride in expanding the growth and skill set of new veterinarians.

Our full service, AAHA-accredited hospital has state-of-the-art equipment such as surgical laser, therapeutic laser, ultrasound, endoscopy, and thermal imaging. We use traditional medicine and integrative medicine, including acupuncture and homeopathy, to provide the best individualized care for pets using all modalities available. With a strong emphasis on laser technologies, the Ultrasound Guided Endoscopic Diode Laser Ablation (UGELAB) procedure was developed here (See JAVMA, Vol. 240, 1/1/12). All of the latest equipment is provided to practice exemplary medicine, surgery, and patient safety. Extensive in- house training for all non-veterinary staff members is mandatory. Advanced technologies such as the DIA Education Video system and Welch Allen video otoscopes are used to enhance the client education experience. Doctors are encouraged to develop new skills such as ultrasound using the latest equipment available. Our caring, dedicated staff is here to support you, and our clients want the best for their pets, making it easy to practice quality medicine.
We are open Monday through Saturday. After hours we refer our clients to an emergency hospital so there are no on-call hours for veterinarians. A typical schedule includes 4 days a week, working every other Saturday.
