We provide comprehensive dental services including teeth cleaning, extractions, and oral surgery. Digital dental radiology helps identify hidden issues beneath the gumline. Preventive care focuses on reducing periodontal disease that can affect overall pet health through our specialized dental suite.

I can't thank the staff enough for all the exceptional care they've given my cats. I recently had to send my baby over the rainbow bridge and I can't thank them enough for the genuine care and comfort they supported me with. Thank you so much to all the staff, you are appreciated more than you know!

I have to put my best friend down. He have a bad stroke. For the last 12 years he was the best part. The doctor did an excellent job with him.

As always, the pet doctor's staff and Dr. Fugjie where excellent in the treatment of my four legged friend Katmandoo. Their professionalism, care and personal interaction with the care of my cat has been exceptional over the years. I can highly recommend the clinic.

Old facilities, they NEVER answer when you call, the wait times to get your pet seen are ridiculous, and they are ridiculously over priced. If you are gonna get any type of surgery done, get the quote first so you don't waste your time. They wanted me to pay $1100 to get a non-cancerous lump removed from my pet's foot! My other vet did an older lump for under $500! I will not be taking my pet here anymore.

Dr. Fujie and her Team at the Pet Doctor go above and beyond to care for our Pet, Charlie. We recently had our dog spayed at The Pet Doctor. They were very thorough at the pre-surgery visit, explained post surgery care after the procedure and even checked on her that evening and the following day to make sure she was doing well. Thank you!

I've arrived at the pet doctor and had the pleasure of speaking with Lexi at the window. I was looking for a new vet, but was politely informed at this time they are not accepting new clients. I am a new pet parent and was panicked about some issues that came up. I've been met with such rude interactions at other places I've contacted, yet her demeanor was caring and genuine. She said she would help the best she could.
I wanted to know about flea products and what she would recommend. She was very knowledgeable and pointed me in the right direction. My puppy was flea free quicker than anticipated because I followed her suggestions and tips! I had an amazing experience working with Lexi. They are in my area and if their staff are as friendly and helpful as Lexi was, this is a clinic my family needs! Please accept new patients again soon! I will be checking back. Thanks Lexi!
