• RADIOLOGY

  Radiology – or X-rays – help our veterinarians evaluate muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular(cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary systems.  Through the use of our telemedicine computer we are able to have your pet's radiographs evaluated by a board certified radiologist within 24 hours if there are questions about the diagnosis of images seen on the radiographs.

• SPECIALIZED SURGERY

  In addition to our staff veterinarians who perform most routine surgeries, Dr. Steve Timm, who specializes in surgery, comes into our practice to perform procedures that require specialized instruments or where more experience improves the chance of a positive outcome from the procedure.  This means that many patients may be treated in our hospital rather than being referred to a university teaching hospital.  We also have close working relationships with specialists at both the University of Minnesota and The University of Wisconsin Veterinary Teaching Hospital for those patients requiring their special services.

• SURGERY

  Our goal is to ensure that all surgical patients have a safe and comfortable procedure.  All patients are carefully screened for safety, and anesthetics are specifically tailored to your pet.
