We understand that bringing your pet to see a neurologist can be a stressful experience — especially when it involves traveling a long distance. Many of our clients come from out of town, which can make long wait times for procedures like MRIs even more challenging.
To help make your visit as smooth and comfortable as possible, we’ve created a resource guide on our website. There, you’ll find helpful information about the amenities available in our office, as well as suggestions for nearby places to eat, things to do while you wait, and accommodations if you’re planning to stay overnight.
