Veterinary Internal Medicine Services at Hope Advanced Veterinary Center
Diseases of the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, nervous, endocrine, urinary, pulmonary and immune systems, as well as issues with the pancreas or spleen, are diagnosed and treated by a veterinary internal medicine specialist.
If your pet has an illness or symptoms that your family veterinarian is unable to diagnose or treat, they can be referred to our compassionate internal medicine specialists for more advanced care.
At Hope Advanced Veterinary Center, we take a comprehensive, team-based approach to our cases and work not only with your veterinarian, but also with other specialists to ensure the best care for our patients.
Referrals from your primary vet are required for internal medicine consultations.
