My dog loved it here!
Dr. Fredericks and staff were great with my Jack.
When it was time for Jack to go to heaven, they were kind, compassionate, and caring.
Although I no longer live on the north shore, when it is time to get a new fuzzy addition to our family, I will definately travel there for their services.

This type of alternative medicine has been used in the veterinary field to treat arthritis, pain management, and the treatment of certain diseases.
One day my ten-year-old Golden Retriever was unable to stand.
I was so worried that this was the beginning of the end for my beloved dog.

Although humans and animals are different in many ways, some advances in human medicine are also very useful in veterinary patients.
One of these advances, endoscopy, has proven to be a powerful diagnostic and therapeutic tool in veterinary medicine.
As a practice, we consider it a goal to offer state-of-the-art medicine and diagnostic testing; so we are proud to offer endoscopy as a means of providing a higher level of quality care to our patients.
