Westarbor offers a wide variety of medical, dental, and surgical procedures for small animals of all kinds. Westarbor can help you with all of your pet care needs.
Advanced Dental Surgery Procedures
Dr. James Clarkson has been participating in the review and assessment program of the American Veterinary Dental College since 1992. He has been practicing advanced veterinary dental techniques and surgery since 1985.
Complete Diagnosis Capabilities
Our facility is equipped with some of the most advanced on-site laboratory analyzers available. This allows us to receive and interpret most of your pet's tests results quickly and accurately, which in turn enables us to make prompt diagnoses.
Proper and Up-to-Date Anesthetic Procedures
Our staff is trained to provide the safest, current anesthetic for your pet's healthcare needs. All pets are monitored closely by our licensed technicians throughout their procedure. Click here for more details regarding our anesthetic protocols.
Full pharmaceutical line
Our hospital is stocked with a wide variety of both prescription medications and pet foods, and over-the-counter products to better meet your pet's health care needs.
Licensed Veterinary Technician Care
All of our nursing care is provided by properly trained and certified Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVT). These LVTs are caring individuals who put your pet's comfort and safety first.
LVT's are trained in an accredited Veterinary Technology program. After graduation they are then required to pass board examinations to become licensed. When properly trained, an LVT can be a major asset to a modern veterinary hospital.
LVTs job duties are many and varied, and are often likened to those of a human Registered Nurse (RN). While LVTs perform many of the job functions of an RN, LVTs also administer anesthesia, take and develop radiographs, obtain and run samples for laboratory analysis, perform dental prophylaxis, and prepare and monitor patients for surgery.
Many clinics use veterinary assistants who are trained on-the-job to fill their technician positions. We feel properly trained LVTs, due to their intensive training background and skill base, provide a higher level of care making them more prepared to care for your pet.
After-Hours Emergency Consultation
Our doctors are available for after-hours phone consultations until 11:00pm EST, 7 days per week. To consult with a doctor about your pet, phone (734) 769-5391 and follow the instructions you are given. One of our doctors will be happy to assist you in addressing your concerns about your pet's health.
Safe, Sanitary, Properly Maintained Environment
As an American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) member, our clinic is required to follow strict guidelines regarding the safety and cleanliness of our facility. We are routinely inspected to ensure that we are following these standards.
Computerized, Accurate Patient Records
All of our patients records are maintained on computer files for faster, easier, and more accurate access. This allows us to be better able to answer any questions you may have about your pet's care.
Friendly, Helpful Staff of Professionals and Paraprofessionals
Each member of our staff is happy to help you and/or your pet with any questions or concerns you may have. You can be sure you'll always be greeted with a smile, and perhaps a treat (for you and your pet!).
