Internal Medicine

Solving complex medical cases with care and expertise.

Our Internal Medicine service is dedicated to diagnosing and managing complex and chronic conditions in pets—especially when symptoms are unclear or involve multiple body systems. Led by veterinarians with advanced training in internal medicine, our team works closely with you and your primary care veterinarian to uncover answers and create personalized treatment plans tailored to your pet’s specific needs.

We care for patients with a wide range of conditions, including gastrointestinal disease, kidney and urinary disorders, respiratory issues, endocrine and hormonal imbalances, immune-mediated illnesses, and more. Using advanced diagnostics such as ultrasound, endoscopy, digital radiography, and in-house lab testing, we’re able to investigate subtle signs, provide accurate diagnoses, and guide long-term medical management with compassion and precision.

Whether your pet is struggling with a chronic illness, an unexplained issue, or a newly diagnosed condition, we’re here to help them live the best quality of life possible.
