VERC Veterinary Specialties

Specialty Services by Referral from Your Vet

For yearly exams, vaccinations and common health issues, your regular vet is usually the best option for caring for your pet. When more unusual issues arise, the Emergency and Surgery specialists at the Veterinary Emergency Referral Center have the experience and equipment to provide advanced care and emergency vet services.

 

Surgery

Our Surgery department is led by Dr. Rose Lemarie, Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. The Veterinary Emergency Referral Center is equipped to evaluate, treat, and manage a full spectrum of orthopedic, neurologic, and soft tissue surgical diseases in cats and dogs. All patients visiting the surgery service will receive a one-on-one consultation from Dr. Lemarie and a diagnostic and treatment plan tailored to the individual needs of each patient. This ensures that each patient receives the best treatment available. Diagnostics including x-rays, computed tomography (CT), myelogram, spinal fluid collection and analysis or MRI may be indicated.

Post-operative management of surgical patients plays an important role in the outcome and well-being of the patient. The Veterinary Emergency Referral Center practices the highest quality in pain management. Appropriate pain control is important to speed recovery and ensure that each patient is as comfortable as possible in the post-operative period. Our hospital is fully staffed with doctors and nurses to care for your pet 24 hours a day, every day! This ensures the best possible uninterrupted pain management and medical care.

 

 

 


 

 

Emergency Care

Emergency situations affecting our animals often arise without warning. While most pet owners do everything they can to provide a safe and secure environment for their best friend, there are some situations that can’t be predicted or prevented. From visible trauma caused by dog bites, fights or being hit by a car to pets exhibiting unusual behaviors or symptoms, we diagnose and treat the underlying problems to ease their pain and put your animal on the path to recovery.
