Specialties
Critical Care Department - A specialist in emergency and critical care is a specially trained veterinarian who is dedicated to treating life-threatening conditions. These specialists are trained not only in ongoing critical care management but complex emergency surgery. The goal of critical care is to work with both the owner and primary care veterinarian to ensure that your pet is receiving continual high quality care and life-saving measures to improve patient outcome and get them back to their usual life. Internal Medicine Department - Internal medicine involves many various organ systems and disease processes, including gastroenterology (esophageal, stomach and intestinal disease), hepatology (liver and pancreatic disease), endocrinology (hormonal disease), infectious diseases, urology (urinary tract disease), nephrology (kidney disease), respiratory medicine (nose, airway and lung disease), and hematology & immunology (blood cell and immune-disease). Surgery Department - Veterinary surgeons are dedicated to providing the very best in surgical care and work closely with the owner and general practice veterinarian to ensure a positive outcome post surgery. Following surgery and any postoperative follow-up care, the primary veterinarian resumes ongoing care of the animal.
