Basic Services: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services: Our hospital is equipped to provide complete diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' health care needs.

Dr. Lidikay has extensive experience with surgeries common to bulldog breeds as well as many other breeds, such as elongated soft palate repair, stenotic nares repair, entropion repair, cherry eye repair and c-sections.
