Prices before procedures
Exam and vaccine fees are published, and every service page shows honest ranges. Anything bigger gets a written estimate first.
About us
One neighbourhood clinic, built around time to talk.
Cedar Hollow is an independent companion-animal clinic on Alder Lane. Three vets, two registered technicians, one client care lead, and a treat jar that is never allowed to run out.
Our story
Started by a vet who wanted longer visits.
Dr. Maya Okafor spent ten years in busy mixed practice, where appointments ran fifteen minutes and the real questions came out at the door. She opened Cedar Hollow in 2019 with one rule: every visit gets enough time to examine the pet properly and talk to the person holding the leash.
Dr. Whitfield joined to build a surgery and dental service around careful monitoring and written estimates. Dr. Raman joined to make the clinic a place cats don't dread. We're still one location, still independent, and still answering the phone ourselves.
What we believe
Four promises, kept at every visit.
Time to talk
Thirty minutes is our standard visit. Long enough for a proper exam and the question you were saving for the end.
Calm on purpose
A cat-only room, non-slip tables, treats everywhere, and handling that goes at your pet's speed.
Only what your pet needs
We recommend by lifestyle, not by default, and we'll say so plainly when something can wait or isn't needed at all.
Inside the clinic
Built for calm pets and clear answers.
-
A cat-only exam room
Its own entrance from the lobby, a shelf to perch on, a hiding box, and no dog smell.
-
In-house lab and digital X-ray
Most blood results come back within the hour, and X-rays are read the same day.
-
Our own surgical suite
Every anaesthetic is watched by a registered technician from start to finish.
-
A quiet goodbye room
A couch instead of an exam table, a side door, and all the time you need.
-
A side door for nervous dogs
Text us from the parking lot and we'll bring you straight in, past the lobby.
-
Free parking out back
Off Alder Lane, with a step-free front entrance.
The people
Who will meet your pet.
And a few things we won't do.
- Recommend a test or vaccine just because it's on a list.
- Start anything beyond an exam without a price you've agreed to.
- Promise a result we can't promise. We'll tell you what's likely, and what isn't.
- Rush a goodbye, or make you feel judged for a budget.
