I am available for appointments Monday through Friday 9-5, with evening appointment available once a week. I am not an emergency veterinarian, and am not available after-hours, or weekends. Although I may at times be able to schedule a visit on the same day for an urgent issue, please don’t rely on this and schedule in advance if possible.
