Working couples and retirees, as well as other families and singles, have discovered that cats are wonderful companions.

VETERINARY HOSPITAL

  • "Beautiful office and Dr. Shokoff was very patient with Bailey and very thorough. Wonderful experience!"
    Rebecca I.
  • "I brought my dog to Dr. Shokoff for a second opinion and found out that she had been misdiagnosed from a previous vet for literally years. After a thorough set of exams and tests, it was determined that she did NOT have chronic pancreatitis. She is now living many days without having to be hospitalized with each occurrence. The office is energized and the doctors and staff are pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this office and encourage everyone to get a second opinion."
