Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses targeted needle insertion to stimulate healing for musculoskeletal, neurological, and chronic conditions. This safe, drug-free therapy effectively manages pain and inflammation while improving mobility and organ function. Patients often experience immediate relief, with treatment plans tailored to individual needs ranging from single sessions for acute issues to monthly maintenance for degenerative diseases.
Breed Specific Wellness
Customized wellness programs address breed-specific genetic risks through early disease detection and tailored health strategies. We screen for conditions like hip dysplasia in large breeds, cardiac issues in susceptible breeds, and cancer predispositions. Annual evaluations combine genetic insights with lifestyle factors to create proactive care plans that extend healthy lifespans through nutrition, exercise, and targeted monitoring.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include digital radiography, professional cleanings, and surgical extractions. We diagnose and treat periodontal disease, fractured teeth, and oral tumors using advanced imaging and pain management protocols. Preventative education focuses on home care techniques and diet modifications to maintain oral health, which directly impacts systemic wellness in pets.
Surgical Procedures
We perform complex orthopedic, soft tissue, and emergency surgeries with board-certified specialist collaboration when needed. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and advanced monitoring ensure patient safety during procedures ranging from spays/neuters to trauma repair. Post-operative care integrates pain management, rehabilitation options, and follow-up evaluations to optimize recovery outcomes for both routine and critical cases.
Geriatric Care
Specialized senior wellness exams detect age-related changes through comprehensive bloodwork, mobility assessments, and cognitive evaluations. We manage chronic conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, and diabetes with multimodal treatments including medication, weight management, and environmental modifications. The goal is maintaining quality of life through early intervention and adaptive care strategies for aging companions.

We are so grateful for the compassion & professional care that was given to Mirabel. She was in need of emergency surgery & you accepted her immediately, even though she wasn't even a patient of yours previously. Thankfully you cared enough in her time of need. Mirabel is now happily a permanent patient of Silver Maple Veterinary Clinic & we couldn't be happier! Thanks for all you do :

Having our fur baby neutered was our first visit at Silver Maple. We switched from a vet that we had used for years that has gone down hill. Our experience with Silver Maple was excellent! The staff was very friendly and took the time to explain things and make sure we understood everything. We definitely found a better and more friendly vet that we will be taking all our furry friends too!

The vet takes EXCELLENT care of your animals - they really do. Staff are caring and knowledgeable. My only complaint is that they need to take fewer patients. Often times if you call looking to make an appointment for your pet you're told they don't have anything available for weeks at a time which really isn't acceptable if you have a sick pet. I think the practice should stop taking new patients until there is more availability for current clients, but keep doing everything else the same!

Thank you to all who helped in making our visit wonderful and stress free. As a cat mom of four, it's always helpful to be able to bring more than one of my kitties to a scheduled appointment. On this visit, your pleasant and kind scheduler was able to accommodate me in bringing three out of my four cats. The fourth kitty isn't due for a visit yet until October. Dr. Kerri Recipko is our favorite veterinarian and her level of compassion is immeasurable.
She always takes the time to make sure my questions are answered. Upon checkout, the office administrator even assisted in helping me carry out one of my cat carriers to the car. I couldn't ask for a better practice to provide the best care for our fur family. Thank you, Silver Maple!
