An accurate diagnosis is the first step to successful treatment.
Internal medicine specialists, also called internists, are trained to perform many diagnostic tests and treatments. They are also adept at managing chronic conditions such as diabetes or an immune mediated disease.

Our 128-slice CT scanner provides rapid, high-resolution 3D images of unparalleled clarity in a matter of seconds, allowing for accurate diagnoses, meticulous pre-surgical planning, and ultimately, optimal outcomes.
Radiology is a technique and diagnostic tool that we use to look inside the body in an entirely non-invasive way, often without anesthesia. X-rays give us a view of the internal organs in your pet’s body that we otherwise could not see. We have the most advanced radiology equipment available and ensure that all our radiographs are read by a board-certified radiologist, guaranteeing expert-level care for your pet.
Endoscopy enables a veterinarian to examine the inner linings of your pet’s nose, throat, lungs, stomach, intestines, or colon. An endoscope is a long, flexible tube with a tiny camera at its tip. The channel inside the tube allows the veterinarian to insert a variety of small instruments for obtaining biopsy samples or retrieving foreign objects.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create an image of a part of your pet’s body. It is used to examine the structure and movement of organs and can also be used to evaluate blood flow in an area. An ultrasound exam is a common form of imaging performed in dogs and cats, and can typically be done without anesthesia as it is non-invasive and painless.
