Anesthesia
Our anesthesia services include comprehensive pre-surgical evaluations with bloodwork and diagnostic testing. We utilize advanced monitoring equipment including ECG, pulse oximetry, and blood pressure monitoring during procedures. Intravenous catheter placement ensures rapid medication delivery when needed, while trained technicians maintain constant patient supervision throughout the anesthetic event.
Dental Care
We provide complete dental cleanings under anesthesia, including subgingival tartar removal and polishing. Digital dental radiography helps identify hidden oral disease, while antibacterial treatments prevent post-procedure infections. Our focus on preventive care helps maintain oral health and prevent systemic complications from dental disease.

Our in-house laboratory performs complete blood counts, chemistry panels, urinalysis, and parasite screening. Digital radiography provides high-resolution imaging for diagnosing fractures, organ abnormalities, and urinary tract issues. We offer rapid diagnostic capabilities for timely treatment decisions and patient care.

After-hours emergency support connects clients with specialized care providers through our partnership network. We offer guidance for urgent situations during business hours and coordinate critical care transfers when needed.
