What is a Veterinary Specialist? Animal Dermatology, Dentistry, Surgery, Rehabilitation, Ophthalmology, Emergency and Critical Care and Critical Care are all specialties offered in our practice.  So, what is a veterinary specialist and why bring your pet to one? Most veterinarians practice general medicine. Many veterinarians have areas of special interest, but they must be careful not to refer to themselves as specialists. The American Veterinary Medical Association only recognizes Specialists as those veterinarians who have had advanced training through a Residency Program. Similar to human medicine Residency Programs consist of a minimum of three additional years of intense training under the guidance of a Boarded Specialist and their respective Specialty College. Before veterinarians can use the term Specialist, they must also pass rigorous oral and written examinations. Once completed the status of Diplomate can be listed after their names. Specialties in Dermatology, Dentistry, Oral Surgery, Ophthalmology, Surgery, Rehabilitation, and Emergency and Critical Care and Critical Care can provide advanced treatment, techniques, and equipment often not practical in a general hospital. If you have concerns about a health issue with your pet, ask your family veterinarian if it may be a candidate for specialty medicine.
