OUR MISSION
Veterinary medicine is undergoing a transition where large corporation chains are purchasing local veterinary clinics. Much in the way it has been in human medicine, Veterinarians in those clinics have much less time in the exam room with clients and pets. While this system increases profits, it does not benefit patients. These clinics also often avoid exotic pets such small mammals, reptiles, and birds because they do not consider them to be profitable.
I became a Veterinarian for my love of animals, medicine, and surgery. In order to give all family pets the quality care they deserve, I founded My Pet's Vet. We care for all species of family pets with experience and expertise. Our appointments are thorough and not timed. Our lobby is quiet and our wait times are short. We often know our clients by name because our focus is you and your pet!

Best regards, Dr. Ron Beatty
