PROVIDING ADVANCED VETERINARY CARE
 
  About AVS
 
 
A VS has veterinary specialists in surgery, medicine,
radiology, dentistry and more. Specialists are graduate
veterinarians whose membership in a specialty is awarded after post-graduate training, which includes:
   
  An internship
   A 2 to 3-year residency, and
  The successful completion of a rigorous written, practical and oral examination

Once the veterinarian has successfully completed the examination only then does the veterinarian earn the title of Diplomate/Specialist/Board Certified. The residency occurs after receiving their doctorate in veterinary medicine and often after the completion of a one-year internship. This can require 12+ years of education—beyond high school.

The AVS veterinary team offers patients the expertise and the latest knowledge and procedures in 5 specialties including dentistry . The scope of AVS’ services and care enables us to successfully return our patients to the best of health possible and general care provided by your family veterinarian.
