Founded in 1992 by John C. Courtney, D.V.M., we moved to our current location on December 22, 2008. Our facility offers the latest in veterinary design, including separate surgical, dental and x-ray suites, intensive care monitoring, digital radiography and 24 hour nursing care. Grooming and boarding are part of the main building but have separate air conditioning and ventilation systems. The design of the office was done to allow for visibility throughout the hospital, avoiding confinement, as well as aiding in patient comfort. Our facility is fully computerized, and we were a member of AAHA since October 1999
