Perfect Location:  Rowlett provides a small-town setting while having the amenities of urban living.

We are located on Lake Ray Hubbard, a fishing and boater’s dream! Our area is below the national average for cost of living.  Relocation assistance available.  We are close to Love Field and DFW International airport, with major flight paths to travel worldwide.  We are lucky to live in a metroplex that offers access to emergency clinics, specialty practices, mobile cardiologists, mobile internists and mobile surgeons who frequent our practice for those special cases.  

Additional Surgery Days - We have a 6 doctor team that internally refers 90% of all surgical procedures IN HOUSE to two primary surgeons !!

We can keep you busy with orthopedics, soft tissue, and dentistry as well as routine spay/neuter. We have a Ligasure, a plasma sterilizer, a C02 cutting laser, an Ellman electrosurgical unit, digital dental and full size radiology, top of the line ultrasound and endoscopy to complement your surgical procedures.

Our Heath location is about 13 miles from Rowlett and boasts three exam rooms, a surgical suite, grooming facility and treatment area. We have a unique workflow in which each doctor has an exam room assistant trained to scribe their medical notes as the exam and client communications take place. This allows the client to leave with complete exam notes, captures all charges and ensures no time is spent at the end of the shift completing medical notes. We use DVMAX as our electronic medical records and also have several other comparable softwares for texting and emailing clients. So many of the wonderful aspects of our private practice are not describable on paper - you have to see it to understand!
