Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that enables surgeries to be done with an operating hole that is just one centimeter wide or less than 1/2 of an inch. It provides animals with a superior quality of care and precision for routine surgeries such as spays and neuters as well as for surgeries such as exploratories.
North Branch Veterinary Hospital offers laser surgery for their patients. Instead of using a scalpel blade or scissors, the doctors use a CO2 laser to do the cutting. The laser cuts and seals the blood vessels and nerve endings. This results in less bleeding, less pain, less swelling, reduced risk of infection, and a faster recovery.

I recently brought my lab that is 12 1/2 to Dr French at North Branch for a hoarse bark. She was very through with the exam. I was very satisfied with her knowledge and professionalism! We love our 4 legged friends as they are apart of our family! I could tell she has a passion for her profession, I highly recommend her & North Branch Veterinary Hospital!

Our dog was seen by Kate french. One of the first thing she says is how our dogs mix breed is a very bad mix. (Siba inu mixed eskimo). Proceeded to ask questions on allergies and neutering and she made us feel dumb for even asking. Then proceeded to muzzle our dog which is fine but our dog hasnt been to vet in a couple years so didnt know what to… expect. Everything went well but she suggests next time we drug our dog when he comes in and has extra restraints.. HES 18lbs?! If u cant handle a dog without drugging him maybe u shouldnt be a vet. Our dog didnt growl, didnt snarl, didnt show

I have had sick dogs. Had a cough upper respiratory infection. They have been wonderful at getting this taken care of. I also had to put one of my dogs down during this time. He was almost 15. They were very kind and compassionate. Making a difficult decision just a little easier. Dr French has called me back a few times to see how the dogs are and is very willing to answer my questions. All the staff has been incredibly kind and considerate. I've called a few times and they have always been patient and kind. I will definitely come back. They are also great at getting the dogs in when needed .

I have had multiple bad experiences with this vet clinic. But the one that will stick with me is when my dog was 2-3 days after giving birth, and she was only nursing on one side. All my research had said it could be three things. Placenta still inside her, a stillborn still inside her, or a calcium deficiency. After running hundreds of dollars on… tests, they said nothing was wrong and to go back home. I repeatedly asked if she could at least get calcium vitamins. The vet finally allowed me to have some. And by the end of the day she was nursing well. It was so frustrating trying to advocate

I have been bringing my pets to NB Veterinary Hospital for over a decade, and they have always received exceptional care. The doctors always take time to explain conditions and procedures, and have helped me to become a better pet parent, especially as my pets have aged, and required more care. I am glad we have such a quality service in our community.

Great staff - from the front desk to the lab technicians, to the Veterinary assistants to all the Staff Doctors. Been taking our dogs there for over eight years, always had a great experience. Often bring the dog into the office just to get a current weight, the dogs are so well treated that they/we enjoy going thru their doors!

I cannot give enough thanks for Dr. Kemplin and all of his Staff at NBVH for all of the care they provided to our pets for over 15 years. And...if you are looking for a really good groomer they offer that too. I took my very old and very over due miniature poodle to Dawn for a bath and clipping and she did an amazing job with Maggie. She is very kind and gentle and I highly recommend her. I no longer live near NBVH but it is still the only place I go for my animals well being. THANK YOU ALL.
