Meet the Team
Behind every exceptional Biscoe pet hospital stands a team whose collective passion for healing creates extraordinary veterinary care. Leading our practice, Dr. Kathy Haywood’s journey to veterinary medicine began in childhood, growing up surrounded by farm animals that taught her the profound responsibility of caring for creatures who depend entirely on human compassion and skill. Her academic foundation—a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from NC State University coupled with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry—provides the scientific rigor our practice demands, while her farm roots keep her grounded in practical, common-sense animal care.
Alongside Dr. Haywood, Dr. Perry Parks brings decades of mixed and large animal experience, while Dr. Rebecca Goldbach contributes specialized surgical expertise that enhances our comprehensive care capabilities. Our dedicated support team includes experienced registered veterinary technicians like Daisy, Heather, and April, whose combined decades of service ensure your pet receives knowledgeable, compassionate attention at every visit.

Dentistry & Dental Cleanings
Bad breath isn’t just unpleasant – it’s often the first sign your pet needs professional dental care. Our dentistry/dental cleanings prevent painful periodontal disease that affects most pets by age three. We use state-of-the-art equipment and proven techniques to restore your pet’s oral health and eliminate harmful bacteria.
Every cleaning starts with pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure your pet’s safety during the procedure. Our veterinary team performs ultrasonic scaling and polishing while your pet rests comfortably under anesthesia. Following the same high standards as Biscoe pet hospital facilities, we take digital X-rays when necessary to catch hidden tooth root problems.
Spay & Neuter
Choosing to spay or neuter your pet is one of the most important health decisions you’ll make for them. These surgical procedures dramatically reduce cancer risks, eliminate unwanted pregnancies, and often improve behavioral issues like aggression and roaming. We perform thousands of these life-saving surgeries each year with exceptional safety records and compassionate care.
Montgomery Animal Clinic uses modern surgical techniques and advanced monitoring equipment throughout every procedure. Our experienced veterinary surgeons ensure your pet receives personalized anesthesia protocols based on their age, breed, and health status. At our Biscoe pet hospital, we’re committed to making your pet’s spay/neuter surgery as safe and stress-free as possible.
Wellness & Sick Visits
That subtle change in your dog’s appetite or your cat’s litter box habits could signal something serious. Our wellness exams catch problems like kidney disease and diabetes months before symptoms become obvious to pet owners. We use advanced diagnostic tools including digital X-rays and in-house blood analyzers to get answers fast.
When your pet is limping, vomiting, or acting unusually lethargic, same-day sick appointments are available at our Biscoe pet hospital. Our veterinarians perform targeted physical exams and run specific tests based on your pet’s symptoms rather than generic screenings. Every wellness & sick visits appointment at Montgomery Animal Clinic includes a detailed treatment discussion so you understand exactly what’s happening and why.
Boarding
Your anxious rescue dog who hides under tables or your senior cat with daily heart medication needs more than a basic kennel stay. We specialize in caring for pets with special needs, from administering insulin shots to managing separation anxiety with extra attention and exercise. Montgomery Animal Clinic’s veterinary-supervised boarding means no frantic calls to find an emergency vet if something goes wrong.
Drop-off is simple – we’ll update any overdue vaccines like rabies or bordetella right here, saving you a separate trip. Your pet gets their own clean space plus supervised playtime, walks, and feeding with the food you bring from home. Biscoe pet hospital boarding includes detailed daily notes so you know exactly how your furry family member spent each day.
Orthopedic Surgery
When your active retriever suddenly refuses to jump in the car or your aging terrier struggles to climb stairs, torn ligaments or hip dysplasia might be stealing their mobility. Dr. Goldbach and Dr. Jordan perform advanced procedures like TPLO surgery that permanently stabilizes torn CCLs by reshaping the knee joint geometry. Most dogs return to weight-bearing within days, though bone healing requires six to eight weeks of restricted activity.
At our Biscoe pet hospital, we customize surgical approaches based on your pet’s size and condition – lateral suture repair works best for dogs under 20 pounds while TPLO suits larger breeds. Our surgeons at Montgomery Animal Clinic also handle complex fracture repairs using bone plates and pins, plus corrective procedures for luxating patella and hip joint issues like FHO surgery. Every orthopedic surgery patient receives a personalized rehabilitation plan to ensure optimal healing and long-term comfort.
Soft Tissue Surgery
That suspicious lump on your dog’s chest or your cat’s recurring bladder stones won’t resolve on their own. Our eight experienced veterinarians perform life-saving procedures like cancer tumor removal, exploratory surgery to diagnose mysterious symptoms, and emergency C-sections when labor complications arise. Montgomery Animal Clinic uses advanced monitoring equipment and comprehensive pain management protocols to ensure your pet’s comfort throughout their procedure.
Our Biscoe pet hospital maintains a state-of-the-art surgical suite where precision and safety guide every incision we make. From pre-surgical blood work through post-operative recovery, our transparent approach means you’ll understand exactly what’s happening and why each step matters. Whether your pet needs soft tissue surgery for a foreign body obstruction or mass removal, our team works to keep these essential procedures affordable for families in our community.

FAQs
When can I bring my pet for veterinary care?
Our Biscoe pet hospital welcomes pet families Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:00 AM until 5:30 PM, plus Wednesday mornings from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Our veterinary team dedicates weekends to rest and continuing education, ensuring we’re refreshed and current with the latest advances in animal care. Emergency services remain available during all operating hours, giving you peace of mind that urgent veterinary needs can be addressed promptly by our experienced staff.
How do you handle after-hours pet emergencies?
While our Biscoe pet hospital provides comprehensive emergency services during regular business hours, nighttime and weekend emergencies require specialized 24-hour facilities equipped for round-the-clock intensive care. We maintain relationships with regional emergency hospitals and can provide guidance on the closest appropriate facility for your pet’s specific situation. For suspected poisoning cases, we’ll connect you directly with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, whose toxicology experts can provide immediate guidance regardless of the hour.
What preventive care does my pet actually need?
Smart pet healthcare focuses on preventing problems rather than simply treating them after they develop. Core vaccinations protect against life-threatening diseases, while additional vaccines depend on your pet’s lifestyle and exposure risks. Our Biscoe pet hospital’s preventive care approach includes regular wellness exams, parasite control programs, dental care monitoring, and nutritional counseling tailored to your companion’s age and activity level. We’ll work together to develop a realistic wellness plan that fits your budget while providing optimal protection.
Can you accommodate pets with special boarding requirements?
Our Biscoe pet hospital’s boarding services go beyond basic pet sitting to provide genuine veterinary-supervised care in a comfortable, climate-controlled environment. Pets with ongoing medical conditions, medication schedules, or dietary restrictions receive individualized attention from our trained staff. We encourage bringing familiar items like favorite toys or bedding to help your companion feel secure during their stay. Having veterinary professionals on-site means immediate medical attention is available should any health concerns arise.
How do I know if changes in my pet's behavior are concerning?
Pet parents often notice subtle changes in their companion’s routine before obvious symptoms appear, making your observations incredibly valuable for early problem detection. Significant changes in appetite, water consumption, energy levels, or bathroom habits warrant professional evaluation, even when your pet seems otherwise normal. Our Biscoe pet hospital’s team can distinguish between normal aging changes and developing health issues through comprehensive examinations and diagnostic testing when appropriate. Trust your instincts—if something seems different about your pet’s behavior or routine, it’s worth a conversation with our experienced staff.
