What is a Veterinary Specialist?

A veterinary specialist is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine who has completed extensive post-graduate education and clinical training in a focused area. After passing a certifying board examination in their chosen specialty field, they are called a diplomate of their specialty college and considered an expert in this area of veterinary medicine. There are over 20 veterinary specialties recognized by the American Veterinary Medical Association.

This expertise is complementary to the care provided by your family veterinarian. You may be referred to a MedVet hospital if your pet needs specific equipment and/or expertise that your veterinarian does not have. Collaboration between you, your veterinarian, and your veterinary specialist is critical to providing the best outcome for your pet.

What others are saying

Our dog was near death with immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). After several months of treatment, including an initial week of 24 hour hospital care, he appears to have made a full recovery. The quality of the doctors, including Dr. Jessica Lin Blache, and having an overnight staff to care for my pet was an important consideration in using MedVet. – Sherry G.

MedVet Mandeville has an extremely talented team of veterinary specialists. We love Dr. Lin Blache! – Daniel Z.
