Dermatology

We are excited to announce that PetMedic is expanding its services!

We have teamed up with Dr. Christine McKinney Zewe, DVM, DACVD to offer a much needed dermatology service for the community. The service will be conveniently open weekdays. Our normal urgent care hours will not change, and the services will not overlap.
