Dr. Mira Okafor
Medical director · DVM
Internal medicine and senior care. Founded the clinic in 2008 and still takes the Saturday shift.
Who you will meet
The people who will know your pet.
A small team on purpose. You will see the same faces at the six-month check as you did at the first appointment.
Dr. Elias Ward
Surgery & dentistry · DVM
Soft tissue surgery and oral work. Will show you the dental radiographs whether or not you asked.
Dr. Noor Haddad
Feline medicine · DVM
Runs the cat wing and our low-stress handling training. Believes most cats are simply badly briefed.
Talia Reyes
Lead nurse · RVT
Anaesthesia and pain management. She is the one who stays with your pet from induction to pickup.
Who we are
A clinic that explains itself.
Most people leave the vet holding a receipt and a vague sense that something happened. We would rather you left knowing what we found, what we ruled out, and what you are watching for at home.
The clinic is owner-operated, which means the person who examines your dog on Tuesday is the person who calls you about the results on Thursday. No rotating staff, no handing you off, no repeating the story.
Sick today, seen today
We hold appointment slots open every morning for pets who got worse overnight.
Low-stress handling
Separate cat entrance, non-slip floors, treats first. Restraint is the last resort, not the first.
Lab results in-house
Bloodwork, cytology and urinalysis run on site — most answers come back the same visit.
No surprise invoices
You approve a written estimate first. If the plan changes mid-visit, we call before we spend.
From the waiting room
What people say after the appointment.
Collected from follow-up emails. Names shortened, permission given.
Our beagle had been off her food for two days and I got an afternoon slot on the first call. What stayed with me was Dr. Okafor drawing the whole thing on paper so I could take it home.
Priya R.
Owner of Nutmeg, beagle, 6
The cat-only morning changed everything. Milo used to scream from the car park to the table. Last visit he came out of the carrier on his own and sat there.
Daniel K.
Owner of Milo, domestic shorthair, 9
They quoted the dental at four hundred and twenty and it came to four hundred and twenty. After a previous clinic doubled an estimate mid-procedure, that mattered more than I expected.
Marta S.
Owner of Bruno, cocker spaniel, 8
When we had to make the last decision for our old shepherd, nobody hurried us and nobody sold us anything. They gave us the room and an honest answer. I will never forget it.
Owen T.
Owner of Juno, German shepherd, 14
I called about a lump expecting to wait a fortnight. They aspirated it the same afternoon and phoned me with the result before dinner. It was nothing, and I slept that night.
Hannah B.
Owner of Pepper, labrador, 7
Our kitten is now the only cat I have owned who walks into the carrier by himself. Whatever they taught us in that first visit, it worked.
Sofia L.
Owner of Biscuit, tabby, 1
