Services
Veterinary Acupuncture
Our certified veterinary acupuncturists use traditional Chinese medicine techniques to treat pain, inflammation, and functional disorders in pets and horses. This complementary therapy effectively addresses musculoskeletal issues, respiratory conditions, and chronic ailments through targeted needle placement. Combining acupuncture with conventional treatments enhances recovery and improves quality of life for animals with arthritis, allergies, and neurological conditions.
Mobile Services
We provide in-home veterinary care for pets and equines, ideal for multi-pet households or animals with transportation challenges. Our mobile services include physical exams, vaccinations, and basic treatments in the comfort of your home or barn. This approach reduces stress for animals while maintaining the same high standard of care as our clinic.
Equine Dentistry
Specialized equine dental care includes power floating and oral examinations for horses. Our services address dental abnormalities that affect eating, performance, and overall health. Regular dental maintenance prevents pain and improves nutrient absorption while supporting optimal athletic performance in working horses.
Diagnostic Testing
We offer comprehensive in-house diagnostic capabilities including blood work, urinalysis, and imaging. Our chemistry profiles, complete blood counts, and thyroid testing enable rapid diagnosis of internal medicine conditions. Digital X-rays support accurate assessment of skeletal and organ system health for timely treatment decisions.
Surgical Procedures
Our facility performs routine and complex surgical procedures with modern equipment and monitoring systems. Services include spaying/neutering, mass removals, and emergency surgeries under Dr. Lisa Burgess's supervision.

Dr. Lisa is caring, extremely thoughtful and unbelievably thorough. She is the nicest, most compassionate and immensely talented vet in the area. 5 stars from us. If Beckett (who runs to her front door) had an iPhone, he would paw her 5 Stars too!

Dr. lisa is a life saver! My girl was being treated for allergies for well over 6 months and no change. I heard of Dr Lisa thru a pet store, was told it will all be worth the 4-6 month wait to see this vet, I called and was able to have an appointment over the phone within a weeks time. I sent photos of my girl and had my phone appointment, the treatment my girl was put on started fast working within 3 days! I can't thank Dr. lisa enough she saved my girl from itchy and red bleeding fur

Brought my dog Teddy to see Dr. Lisa for his annual vet visit. I was so impressed by Dr.Lisas approach to treating animals. Prior to seeing Dr. Lisa, our typical vet visits almost always consisted of: annual screening, all the shots, flea and tick meds, heart worm and Lyme screening, and some antibiotic medication for whatever they thought my pup needed. Theyd also try to push dog food that they carried in house which never worked well with my dog. (Typically Hills). I would also be guilt tripped if I inquired for more information about dogs and annual vaccinations. The main thing that bothers

Great veterinary! Dr. Lisa is wonderful and very knowledgeable - we love her wholistic approach. The staff on the team are so caring and attentive. The team has done an excellent job managing covid and providing extra care given we can't attend the appointment with our pets in person.

We started going to Dr Lisa in 2006 with our Scottie, Brodie, with her approach to holistic vet treatment. She was very informative, patient and we appreciated all she did and taught us. When it came time to say goodbye to our baby, Dr Lisa came to the house and spent an extended time helping us do the right thing for us and Brodie. We are now adding 2 puppies to our lives and we have no hesitation going back to Dr Lisa to make sure these little guys are happy and healthy.

Took our farm guardian dog in today (because of pandemic no farm visits). He is very anxious when away from his farm duties, and doesnt travel unless he has to. They saw him out in the backyard so we could stay with him to help reduce anxiety and were incredibly patient and gentle with him, even when his cooperation level was less than stellar! We always feel confident in their recommendations and treatments. What could have been very scary and traumatic for our dog turned out to be a great experience. Thanks Dr Lisa and team!!

Lisa was my vet 15 yrs. ago and she was amazing then and is even more amazing now! Her staff are all very nice and my dog trigger loved them! She took her time in examining my dog and explained everything in great detail. Would definitely recommend her!
