Getting your pet on the path to wellness is our #1 goal.
With years of experience and a range of advanced procedures and treatment options, we'll focus on restoring your pet's quality of life and your peace of mind.
General anesthesia is part of many procedures — from routine surgeries and dental cleanings to complex interventional care. While the risk is low for healthy patients with proper monitoring, we understand it can still feel worrying.
That’s why every anesthesia plan begins with a thorough, patient-specific assessment designed to give your pet the safest possible experience.
Dr. Congdon, reviews each case personally — often before rounds begin — considering your pet's species, breed, age, temperament, and full medical history alongside the specific demands of the planned procedure.
He brings deep expertise to patients of all kinds, from dogs and cats to exotic species. Whether your pet is young and healthy or managing heart, lung, kidney, or other complex conditions, a plan is built specifically for them.
Throughout every procedure, advanced monitoring equipment continuously tracks vital signs — breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, and more.
Dr. Congdon's hands-on approach to team education means every technician understands not just what the numbers say, but how to respond the moment something changes.
After the procedure, your pet is closely observed through recovery. Attentive care, gentle handling, and proactive pain management help ease the transition — so your pet wakes up comfortably and goes home well.
We want you and your pet to have the best experience possible. If you need us to reach out to your primary care veterinarian for your records, we’re happy to do so.
