AVS has established a referral hospital that focuses on providing veterinary care for complicated or extensive medical conditions of companion animals. Each specialty practice in AVS is highly esteemed in the veterinary community and offers advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Many of the practice owners are nationally recognized leaders in their fields. The specialists hold positions of leadership in numerous specialty colleges and organizations, lecture throughout the world, publish textbook chapters and other refereed articles, and conduct clinical trials that further the knowledge of the veterinary profession.

Some of the specialized medical services offered to pets include endoscopy, ultrasonography, echocardiography, nuclear medicine, I-131 radioactive iodine treatment, radiation therapy, CT scans, total hip replacements, neurosurgery, orthopedics and fracture repair, advanced ocular surgery including cataract and laser surgery, digital radiography, dental crowns and restorative procedures, and advanced dermatology procedures such as skin testing and treatment for allergies. The emergency practitioners at the Emergency Animal Clinic are committed to providing progressive, round-the-clock emergency care. Further information on the specialty referral practices and the EAC is located under each practice link.

The specialists and emergency practitioners at our hospital do not offer routine veterinary care, such as immunizations, well examinations, and other routine preventative care. Thus, Arizona Veterinary Specialists and the Emergency Animal Clinic are extensions of general veterinary practices throughout the community. We will work closely in conjunction with your primary care veterinarian to ensure complete patient care, and we will send you back to your primary care veterinarian’s office for continuing follow-up care.
