Why families choose us

Specialist care that doesn't punish your wallet

Board-certified surgeon

Your pet's procedure is performed by a DACVS diplomate, not a generalist — the credential that signals true surgical specialty training.

Prices built to be reachable

Reducing the cost of care is part of our mission. We offer Cherry and CareCredit financing so cost is less likely to stand between a pet and the care it needs.

One surgical home

Imaging, surgery, and rehab under one roof means coordinated care and no bouncing between facilities mid-recovery.

Our mission

Save the most at-risk. Educate owners. Reduce the cost of care.

CARES exists to keep treatable pets from being given up over cost. That belief shapes how we price, how we treat, and how we talk to you.
