Virginia Veterinary Centers
Internal Medicine
In addition to our training and technology, one of our greatest medical tools is communication—we believe in collaborating with your primary veterinarian every step of the way. We’ll work together to seek a diagnosis, second opinion, and/or management of acute and chronic diseases. Our internists also consult with other specialists at our hospital, including surgeons, oncologists, and emergency care veterinarians. We’ll do everything possible for your pet’s health and for your peace of mind.
