SIT UP AND TAKE PAWS.

Here’s why our specialists are so well respected.

Board Certification. As the practice of veterinary medicine has become increasingly sophisticated, certain doctors choose to focus their education and training on mastering a particular discipline. After completing veterinary school and a residency in their area of specialty, these doctors must pass rigorous board exams and publish a paper to become board-certified. This highly competitive standard ensures that your board-certified specialist is a leader in his or her field, using the latest techniques and equipment. You can have complete trust in their abilities and dedication to the well-being of your pet.

Expertise. As a group, our specialists offer an invaluable combination of the latest skills and a reassuring depth of experience. They are typically board-certified. That means you and your pet are in the best hands, expecting the best possible outcome.

Equipment and facilities. From pinpoint diagnostic techniques (especially critical with non-talking patients) to advanced treatment methods to gentle and effective after-care, your pet gets first class attention at every step. We are the only private facility in the region with both MRI and CT scanners on site. We have clean-room technology in our surgical suites that rivals that in human hospitals. We have endoscopes, laparoscopes, ultrasounds, defibrillators and physical rehabilitation facilities that would make a football team jealous. Our technology is second to none.

Cutting edge techniques. From biological ingrowth prostheses to tibial tuberosity advancement for cruciate repair, our specialists are committed to bringing the latest breakthroughs in care. We are current with the latest techniques to bring every opportunity for a successful outcome to our patients.

Team approach. We believe in accessing all the skills in each of the various specialties on the VCA Alameda East team. We work together to ensure we are doing everything possible to properly diagnose and address complex cases and work with you to choose a most appropriate course of care.

Communication. We understand the concern of both the pet owner and the referring vet for the well-being of their pet. Our full-time referral coordinator stays in regular communication with your primary care vet to ensure they are always “in the loop” and that the patient will receive total continuity of care.
