Why should my pet see a specialist?
A veterinary specialist has undergone an additional 3-5 years of schooling beyond the standard DVM degree. Your pet would see a specialist for the same reasons you may see a specialist for your own health needs....for the additional skills, knowledge and experience offered by the specialist in his or her chosen field. Just like people, pets develop many conditions in which the skilled expertise of a specialist can be invaluable. This is important for many procedures, such as ultrasound, endoscopy, and various biopsy procedures, as well as for uncommon or especially serious conditions that may be affecting your pet. In addition, if your pet is exhibiting unusual symptoms or is not responding to treatment as expected, a specialist can often target the problem more quickly and determine the most effective course of action.
A note to our clients and referring veterinarians,
We are back in our Greenwich Road office! Last fall I learned that the Tidewater emergency and referral center on S. Independence Blvd was in dire financial straits, and I made the decision to move my practice into the facility in the hopes of helping stabilize their business and finding a way to turn it around. I strongly felt that the facility was an asset to the community and good things were possible there. Long story short, I was able to reach out to a friend at Blue Pearl Veterinary Partners, a national emergency and specialty practice, and in January they took ownership of the Tidewater emergency business. I was encouraged to stay on as director of the referral center there, but in the process I discovered that I much prefer a smaller practice environment and thus made the decision to move back to my former office. My staff and I adhere to the notion that good things come in small packages! :~)
