Services
We look forward to meeting you at Empire Veterinary Clinic. Our team is dedicated to your pet's care. Our staff is highly trained in veterinary care. They are compassionate to each animal they handle, treating them like they would their own. This allows us to provide the highest quality care for your animal in both emergency and general care situations.
Digital thermal imaging has arrived at Empire Veterinary Clinic. We are partnering with Crystal's Imaging, by Crystal Sundburg M.S. and Digatherm to bring this technique to you. Thermal Imaging takes an image of naturally emitted energy from your pet to help further diagnostics and detect potential problem areas in your companion.
Cold laser therapy is a state-of-the-art alternative therapy to assist with pain and healing. It can be used after surgeries to help increase blood flow to local areas, improving healing. For this same reason, it is also helpful for wound healing. Cold laser therapy can also be used for chronic pain, helping to increase blood flow to those areas.
Dental care is vital to the overall health of any pet. Dental disease can lead to health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys, and can affect the entire body through the bloodstream. In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population.
Vaccination is a critical element of your pet's overall health care. There are a number of illnesses that require vaccination, and pets of different regions face unique risks as well. That is why it's important to consult with a veterinarian about the necessary vaccinations to protect your pet from illness.

I've been taking my baby German shepherd here for 2 months since I first got him, staff is nice, but every appointment I've had they either couldn't "find it" or don't grab my puppy for 30-45 minutes after scheduled appointment, it's pretty ridiculous and VERY inconvenient for someone who works, also for my dog who is HUGE and has to just sit in a car for 45 minutes. They also do not allow me to go in with my dog which I find strange because how do I know he's getting his shots? What if I have questions and concerns, nope they just come take my dog and give

Found two lost dogs on my porch and didn't know what to do. Staff at Empire Vet scanned the dogs, contacted their owners, and held the dogs for us. I had to get to work, and just couldn't wait until owners called back. The staff was extremely friendly and compassionate. All the guest in the waiting room were pleased with their services as well. While I don't go to Empire normally for my vet, their office staff/ vet techs get a 10/10 for being so kind and helpful!

I got an appointment with no problem. I absolutely appreciate the fact that Dr. Sue takes the time to explain the problem and then give options for both care plans and costs. The office and rooms are clean too. I appreciate the care we receive here. Thank you.

I have been bringing my dogs here for 15 years. Dr. Sue is a great vet and doesn't waste your money or time. They do take care credit also.

I have to add to my post because I'm so pleased with this office. The doctor and staff are down to earth and helpful always! The thing I love most about the doctor is that she does what's necessary for the dog and not twenty extra random expensive tests that are not needed. Excellent vet!

Great place to take your fur babies!! Great Dr's and a wonderful and friendly staff!! Very knowledgeable about possible problems, and they always give you a breakdown of charges and try to do the cheapest and most efficient methods first!! I really appreciate all they have done for my fur babies! Compassion and caring is just as important to them as making sure your fur babies are well taken care of!! Even though most of my fur babies have had shots and surgeries there, my fur babies are excited when I take them there due to the friendly way they are treated!!! Highly recommend this clinic

I took my dog here hoping to get a resolution to her skin condition other vets haven't been able to do so, I'm happy with the attention and diagnoses that I received for my fur baby. They did more than other vets have and gave me a treatment plan for her. I have a follow up visit in 10days we will see if she's improved. One thing that scared me when looking at other reviews was how expensive it would be, to be honest it was less than I excepted I paid more at other vets for less service.

IM SO HAPPY! Ok I've gone in with my dog for her follow up appointment this morning she

BEWARE!! RIP-OFF CLINIC! AVOID!!
This place is a SCAM. They charged me $90 to look at my 2 dogs. Looked at them. That's all. Oh, they recommended one dog have 2 teeth extracted and a cleaning for almost $800 more.

Dr. Sue and her staff are all "5 star" individually, but yelp doesn't let me do it that way. I'm very loyal customer when I find a service that rates 5 stars and Dr. Sue and staff surely do. So much compassion it is difficult
to explain. I cannot say enough to insure a "newby" the level
of care and compassion at Empire Veterinary Clinic.
Go yourself and find out and I promise you won't be disappointed.

I hate most vets because most don't have the IQ points to be any other high paying profession like an MD or Attorney. Thus it is cheerful to find one who not only loves to care for animals, but has razor sharp medical knowledge & skill. Not only one, but husband & wife Vets.

The vet techs have been Angels, and Dr. Sundberg (Dr. Sue) is marvelous with my dogs. Trained me to do injections so I can care for my collie's dysplasia at home to save money. In fact she saved my collie's life by operating to remove a fist sized mass formed when a foxtail embedded itself through her
