Our clinic is bright, colorful, and fun—with a spacious, efficient layout featuring 10 exam rooms, 2 surgical suites, 1 dental suite, and 2 large treatment areas, totaling over 5,600 square feet. 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.

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.

Community Impact:

We were established for our community, by our community. We truly are a community clinic. In the 7 years we have been open, our clinic has provided over 30,000 spay/neuter surgeries and over $2,000,000 of outreach veterinary care.
