Our Story

We take the word “Service” in Veterinary Ophthalmology Service very seriously. Our philosophy is to treat each of our clients and their pets with first class service. This means you can expect a caring and nurturing staff as well as a state of the art facility that houses the medical equipment needed to do the job right.

How do you know if your pet needs an ophthalmologist?

Your regular veterinarian can identify and treat most routine eye problems. Depending on the nature of the condition, your veterinarian may consult with Dr. Brinkmann or refer you directly to him. Your veterinarian and Dr. Brinkmann will work together to assure that your pet's needs are met. Timely medical attention can lessen the effects of disease and injury on your pet, reduce their discomfort, shorten medical treatment, and save you unnecessary expense.
