In-House Specialty Consultations

Board-certified specialists, in a familiar environment

Visiting board-certified cardiology, internal medicine, and surgical specialists perform advanced diagnostics and procedures right in our hospital — a familiar environment for your pet.

While we are a general practice, we are able to provide select advanced services within our hospital through visiting, board-certified specialists.

These services include:

  • Cardiology consultations and echocardiography (cardiac ultrasound) with a boarded cardiologist
  • Abdominal/thoracic ultrasounds as well as endoscopic procedures with a boarded internal medicine specialist
  • Advanced soft tissue and orthopedic surgical procedures with a boarded veterinary surgeon

For these services, traveling veterinary specialists come directly to our practice to perform your pet’s procedure. They communicate their findings with our team, and we review results and recommendations with you to ensure continuity of care.

This collaborative approach allows your pet to receive advanced diagnostics and procedures in a familiar environment while maintaining high medical standards. It also provides meaningful cost savings compared to referral hospitals and reduces travel time and stress for both pets and families.

Not every case is suited for in-hospital specialty management. When referral to a 24-hour specialty center is in your pet’s best interest, we will guide you through that process and coordinate care accordingly.
