NEUROLOGY & NEUROSURGERY
An answer, not another referral
Board-certified neurology expertise with on-site imaging, so your pet gets a diagnosis and a plan, not another waiting list.
NEUROLOGY
Brain, spine, and nerve problems don't always look dramatic at first: a limp that comes and goes, a seizure that seems random, a back that suddenly won't let your dog jump on the couch. Left unclear, these cases can bounce between vets for months without real answers. From seizures and disc disease to stroke-like episodes and conditions that worsen over time, our neurology team is built to find the actual cause, not just manage the symptoms.
Every visit starts with a full neurological exam, not straight to imaging. If a scan is needed, we have our own MRI on-site, so you're not sent elsewhere and told to wait weeks. You'll get a clear explanation of what we found, a plan you actually understand, and a full report sent to your regular vet.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does my pet need an MRI, or can you diagnose without one?
Not always. We start with a full exam, and only move to imaging if it will actually change the treatment plan, not just as a default step.
Will my pet need anesthesia for the MRI?
Yes, it has to stay completely still for a clear scan. We use the lowest safe dose, monitor your pet the entire time, and even use ear plugs to block out the machine's noise.
Do you take over my pet's care, or work with my regular vet?
We work alongside your vet, not instead of them. They'll get a full report so they can stay involved in the long-term care.
My pet had a seizure, should I call now or wait for an appointment?
One short seizure usually isn't a same-day emergency, but call us and we'll advise. Several in a row, or one lasting more than a few minutes, means head to Emergency Care right away.
Is surgery always the answer for disc disease?
No, it depends on how serious it is. Your neurologist will walk you through whether surgery makes sense for your pet specifically.
