Dr Alex Fischer is trained in the use of veterinary acupuncture and Chinese herbs to treat many health problems in pets. This medical treatment achieves its effect through the manipulation of an animal’s Qi (pronounced Chee). Qi can be described as the life force of the body. When an animal is healthy, Qi moves freely; when the flow of Qi is interrupted, the balance of yin and yang is upset, and symptoms of disease may occur.
We perform routine surgeries such as spays and neuters or minor soft tissue surgeries, such as mass/tumor removals, “cherry eye” repair, eyelid tumor removals, and dewclaw removal and declaws.
We also utilize an on-call, mobile veterinary surgeon to perform more complicated or orthopedic procedures. In this way we can accomplish ACL repairs (knee repair surgery), TPLO procedures, splenectomy, large or intra-abdominal tumor removal, amputations and fracture repairs.

Before coming in for your pet’s physical exam for travel, please carefully review our checklist of items to ensure you are prepared for the visit.
We offer boarding and monitoring for our cat patients, which is especially helpful for diabetic cats receiving insulin, or cats requiring medication, subcutaneous fluid administration, or monitoring for a medical condition.
We offer professional grooming services Monday through Friday. Grooming includes a nail trim and ear cleaning.
