ADVANCED SURGERY
FOR YOUR PET
RIGHT AT YOUR LOCAL VET
You don’t always need an expensive emergency hospital. Get specialized care from stomach surgery to internal exams in the comfort of your own clinic, for a fraction of the referral cost

The COMFORT OF CONTINUITY
Major medical milestones shouldn't have to mean moving to an unfamiliar environment. By bringing specialized equipment and expertise directly to your local clinic, we ensure your pet remains in the hands of the medical team they already know and trust.
The Reality:
Specialized medicine is a team effort. We bridge the gap between general practice and advanced surgery.

SAFER OPTION
I’m Dr. Paul Hodges. A veterinarian with a special interest in laparoscopy and endoscopy who specializes in minimally invasive procedures that allow for accurate diagnosis, reduced pain, and faster recovery for pets.
I believe that advanced procedures should be accessible, affordable, and performed in the environment where your pet feels safest: their own vet’s office. I bring the specialized equipment and surgical expertise directly to them.
