Renovated as recently as 2024, our space is designed for seamless, high-quality care. We utilize our exam rooms for client/patient check-in and check-out, avoiding the use of a congested lobby and facilitating greater client communication and clinic flow.

We are a high-volume, lower-cost clinic with an unwavering commitment to serving our community. We never say no to a patient, and we always find a way to help, utilizing our community partners and resources, including our owner-funded non-profit. Our team-first approach, deep mutual respect, and shared sense of humor make this a truly special place to work.

We proudly offer our year-long Cultivating Confidence Mentorship Program, including longer appointment times, 1-on-1 training, shadowing, monthly mentorship meetings, and full support from your veterinary team.

Support Staff & Culture

Each doctor has two dedicated assistants, and surgery teams are supported by three assistants and one vet. Our three incredible RVTs are joined by enthusiastic assistants, many who are currently attending tech school. Our team has special interests in dentistry, dermatology, pain management, anesthesia, and high-volume surgery. We perform specialized surgeries including FHOs, advanced abdominal soft tissue surgeries and upper airway surgeries as well.

We’re known as the “unicorn clinic” for a reason. We value work-life balance, celebrate diversity, support our community, and truly care for one another. We laugh together, learn together, and always lean in together.
