WHAT IS
A SPECIALIST?
A Board-Certified Veterinary Specialist is a Veterinarian who specializes in a particular field of Veterinary Medicine. While your family Veterinarian handles your pet’s primary health concerns, a Specialist provides many forms of advanced specialized care to assist in maximizing your pet’s health and quality of life.
WHEN DO YOU
CALL A SPECIALIST?
A Specialist works closely with your Veterinarian to build the best possible treatment plan for your pet. When specialized care is warranted, you may contact us directly or have your Veterinarian contact us to set up a referral.
HOW DO WE
DIFFER FROM
OTHER SPECIALISTS?
If you're seeking the best possible quality of care for your pet, HVS has the world class expertise you’ve been searching for. Our Specialists are globally recognized for their contributions to Veterinary Medicine, including authoring dozens of textbook chapters, clinical studies, and scientific articles about Specialized Care. We are very active in teaching and are often asked to lecture in large Veterinary conferences. In fact, we spend much of our time mentoring other Board Certified Specialists aspiring to reach the same level in their careers.

Our surgery team is comprised of some of the most well known educators in Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Beale, Dr. Jones and our colleagues teach over 75% of the Orthopedic Continuing Education around the world and have authored numerous publications and clinical studies. In addition to teaching hands-on CE, we spend much of our time training other Specialists to reach the same level of excellence in Clinical Care.
PIONEERS IN
MINIMALLY-INVASIVE CARE
​
We are extremely passionate about pushing the limits of Specialized Care. In addition to authoring Small Animal Surgery, our founder was the first surgeon to introduce the Arthroscopic TPLO, which is currently the most effective surgical treatment for cranial cruciate ruptures. For decades, we have collaborated with leading medical device manufacturers to develop many of the most commonly-used implants in Veterinary Orthopedics.
