Well-equipped: Digital radiography, in-house IDEXX lab, and fully equipped surgical and dental suites at your fingertips.

Since joining Amy’s team, I’ve felt more excited about being a veterinarian again, while building new skills and confidence. Dr. Ruksznis is approachable, understanding, and always supportive – she truly invests in helping you grow."   – Recent Graduate, TVWC
