I believe that pets are able to let us know when they also feel comfortable.
Well you not only won me over but also my pets.
Thank you for all you've done to help keep my pets healthy.
Keep up the great work!

My dog LOVED Dr.Matar.
He was so good with my dog. He talked to him, petted him and gave him treats.
My dog was so relaxed that he sat and looked out the window the whole way home.
I cannot thank this Vet enough.
This Veterinary Hospital has great prices,friendly staff and a competent, compassionate vet.
Thank you Dr. Matar!

I brought my dog in who HATES getting his shots. The vet tech was great with him and so was the doctor. He was very nice and caring and even gave my dog some treats! I recommend Dr. Matar for all your animal needs.

Meet Dr. Matar

I graduated in 1996 from the Inter-state school of Veterinary Medicine of Dakar- Senegal. This school represents the 13 west African nations. After graduation, I worked as a mixed animal practitioner associate for 2 years before starting and running my own clinic for 7 years. In 2006, I came to the US, and started working at the university of Minnesota college of Veterinary Medicine as a scientist in the veterinary diagnostic lab. After licensing by the American Veterinary Medical Association, I started practicing as a private small animal practitioner in Minnesota. I have a special interest in surgery, cytology, endocrinology, and general medicine.
Besides spending time with my family (my wife, kids and my 2 year old cat), I like travelling, playing sports, and listening to music.
I look forward to seeing you and your pet soon!
