Profile: California Veterinary Specialists

California Veterinary Specialists (CVS) is one of the nation's leading providers of advanced multidisciplinary medical services for animals in need of emergency care and treatment of serious acute and chronic illnesses. At our state-of-the-art specialty referral hospital and medical center, we provide collaborative services by board-certified and highly trained doctors in emergency, critical care, internal medicine, surgery, radiology, oncology, cardiology and ophthalmology.

Our outstanding and dedicated team of surgeons, internists, emergency/critical care specialists, oncologists and radiologists are all board-certified with advanced training in internal medicine, surgery, critical care, oncology, cardiology, radiology, ophthalmology and emergency services. This accomplished team provides the highest quality care in state-of-the-art facilities that feature fully equipped in-house laboratories, surgical suites, separate ICUs, temperature-controlled wards with soft, comfortable bedding, and on-site pharmacies. The latest diagnostic equipment, including color-flow Doppler ultrasound, laparoscopy, video endoscopy, PC-based Vivid 7 echocardiography system, digital radiology, CT scanner, arthroscopy and one of the West Coast's only functional hyperbaric oxygen chambers for pets, is also an integral part of fulfilling CVS' mission to deliver life-saving patient care and improved quality of patient life.

Providing the highest quality care comparable, and in many ways superior to that offered in human medicine, is a hallmark of CVS. Compassionate care is always our main objective, and each of our clinicians takes great pride in each patient's health and well being. We encourage the families of our critical-need patients to take an active role during the long-term care and healing process, and provide special visitation rooms so owners can spend time with their pets throughout recovery. CVS also offers affordable payment plans.

Our clinicians are some of most highly regarded and respected in the industry. Many are featured speakers at international veterinary conferences and have authored books, papers and peer-reviewed articles as well as abstracts on innovative medical treatments and therapies they're developing to improve quality of life.

CVS' vision is to lead the specialty veterinary profession by providing medical care from the heart while using the latest advances in science and technology to better diagnose and treat patients. By developing the skills and abilities of our specialty practices to provide innovative, life-saving medical treatments and therapies, we will continue to fulfill our mission of providing compassionate care that improves the quality of life for our patients.
