Our quaint veterinary hospital is just south of Syracuse, in Jamesville, Ny. Dr. Rothman started this practice more than 30 years ago. Together with his team, our hospital has grown with the services offered, customer service as well as our reputation within the community.  

Currently our staff cares for mostly dogs and cats but have a small and growing population of exotic patients that need love too.
