Overview

We take your pet's health seriously! Our goal is to keep your pets healthy! Our focus is on preventative care. Many illnesses can be prevented by routine care and preventatives like Heartgard and Nexgard. If your pet is ill or has a medical concern we offer comprehensive examinations, laboratory testing, Ultrasound and digital radiographs. We will work with you to choose the best plan that fits you and your pets needs

We are a two doctor practice. Dr. Bill Isaacson is mostly retired now but still sees the occasional large animal. He was the sole owner of Isaacson Veterinary Hospital for 42 years. Then his niece, Dr. Barbara Lester, returned to the area in 2014 after working in Jordan, MN for 9 years. Dr. Lester sees all the small animal patients. We are still considered a mixed animal practice. Between both doctors we have 60+ years of combined experience
