Services
Surgery
Our surgical services include routine procedures and specialized operations performed by experienced veterinarians using modern techniques. We provide pre-operative assessments, sterile operating environments, and post-operative care instructions. Patients receive continuous monitoring during procedures with follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
Vaccinations
We offer core and non-core vaccination programs tailored to each pet's lifestyle and risk factors. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering individual health status. Vaccination records are maintained digitally, and we provide reminders for booster schedules to maintain optimal protection.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental care includes professional cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatments. We use digital dental radiography for accurate diagnosis and perform scaling, polishing, and fluoride applications. Oral health assessments are part of routine exams to prevent systemic complications from dental disease.
Senior Wellness
Our senior wellness program features comprehensive physical exams, bloodwork panels, and mobility assessments. Early detection of age-related conditions allows proactive management through diet, supplements, or medication. We monitor weight changes, organ function, and cognitive health in aging pets.
Nutritional Consults
Personalized nutrition counseling addresses specific dietary needs based on age, breed, and health conditions. We evaluate current feeding practices and recommend appropriate veterinary diets. Consultations include portion guidance, food sensitivity management, and weight control programs for optimal pet health.

They love their clients and take such good care of them. They always follow up to see how the pets are doing the following day and I really enjoy that.

Highly recommend this vet practice, and Dr. Morrin in particular. We had a year long struggle with one of our greyhounds trying to get his sudden, debilitating seizures under control. She was amazing, knowledgeable, and willing to research when she had to (greyhounds have an odd physiology). The story doesn't have a happy ending unfortunately, but Dr. Morrin gave her all for him. The staff were so helpful throughout the process, and extremely kind and respectful when the end finally came. They're also very good with our other dog, who is terrified of the vets.

The staff and both Dr. Sims and Dr. Morrin have been wonderful with Harley, Keeba and now Finnegan. They are so compassionate and love our furry family members almost as much as we do. I have recommended Sims to friends of mine. Thank you for your great service and care.
