Board Certified Surgeons
A veterinary surgeon is a veterinarian who completed additional training after veterinary school and was certified as a specialist in veterinary surgery by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS). If your animal develops a problem or injury requiring advanced care and procedures, your primary care veterinarian may refer you to an ACVS Diplomate (a board-certified veterinary surgeon).
Our surgeons recognize the value of collaboration with you, and your regular veterinarian, as a comprehensive team for your pet’s care.
