About Oakwood Veterinary Hospital
Learn how decades of veterinary expertise, cutting-edge technology, and a deep commitment to compassionate care have shaped our veterinary facility.
Compassionate CareRooted in Decades of Service
For over 40 years, Oakwood Veterinary Hospital has remained a trusted name in pet health across Traverse City and Northern Michigan. Founded in 1977, our mission has always been to provide pets and their families with compassionate, expert veterinary care in a professional and welcoming environment.
Originally located on Hastings Street, we outgrew our first home and relocated to a custom-built 6,400-square-foot facility on Aero Park Drive. This expansion allows our team to work more efficiently, our patients to receive care in a modern, spacious setting, and our hospital to offer more advanced services than ever before.
Our Mission:Partnership Through Quality and Trust
At Oakwood, we believe that quality veterinary care starts with a strong relationship between pet owners and their veterinary team. Our goal is to empower clients through honest communication, education, and shared decision-making, ensuring every pet receives care tailored to their unique needs.
Our veterinarians and support staff are dedicated to delivering the highest standards in veterinary medicine with compassion, professionalism, and integrity. Whether your pet needs a routine exam or complex surgery, you can count on our team to prioritize their well-being every step of the way.
Technology and ExpertiseYou Can Count On
We’re proud to be one of the few veterinary clinics in Northern Michigan equipped with advanced digital radiography and ultrasound technology. This allows us to capture and review high-quality diagnostic images within seconds and securely send them to specialists for rapid second opinions when needed.
Our veterinarians have undergone extensive post-graduate training in orthopedic, soft tissue, and oral surgery. These specialized skills enable us to perform complex procedures and offer referral-based surgical services to general practices throughout the region. We also provide select chemotherapy treatments for pets diagnosed with cancer, offering advanced care close to home.
