The most important aspect of our practice is the relationship we build with our clients and their pets,” says Dr. Deborah Perzak, who purchased Woodruff Road Animal Hospital (WRAH) in 2008. Since then, she and her energetic, gifted staff have offered a wide variety of complete care services for dogs, cats, and a variety of “pocket pets,” such as rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters and gerbils. In addition, Lauren Johnson, DVM, who joined the clinic in 2010, services birds, reptiles and exotic pets.
Surgery, dentistry, digital radiography, internal medicine and nutritional care are all available at the clinic. A state-of-the-art class IV non-surgical laser treatment for such conditions as inflammation, pain, arthritis, injuries, infections and wound healing is offered. Perzak explains that laser treatment increases circulation and brings oxygen to the affected area, thereby facilitating healing. Laser treatment has produced excellent results at WRAH, one of only a few clinics in the area that provides this service.
In addition, animal behavior therapy is available at Woodruff Road Animal Hospital. The clinic’s third veterinarian, Lynn Bowden, DVM, has a special interest and training in behavioral medicine. Behavior therapy has been successful in helping pets who have a variety of behavior issues. Home veterinary care is offered when needed.
Dr. Perzak has a very special interest in cats. “I believe passionately that cats get the lesser end of the stick in veterinary medicine. Cats need vet care too, not just when vaccinations are due.” Her overall focus includes wellness and preventative care for all pets, including nutrition and weight control.
“A veterinarian is analogous to a pediatrician. Little children can’t talk and neither can pets. We have to be a voice for the animals,” says Perzak. “At Woodruff Road Animal Hospital, we have a special interest in pets from beginning of their life to the end. The relationship with the client is as important to me as the relationship with the pet.”
