WHAT IS A VETERINARY NEUROLOGIST?

You know what a veterinarian does –

they take care of your pets when they’re sick with ear infections or belly aches, need vaccines, stitches or minor routine surgery, like spay or neuter. But, as in human medicine, primary care veterinarians sometimes rely on specialists to treat conditions that need detailed diagnostics and treatment.

Specialists, like the neurologists at Veterinary Neurology and Imaging of the Chesapeake, work in conjunction with your primary care doctor to provide a comprehensive treatment plan for your family pets.

Veterinary Neurologists are veterinarians who specialize in treating disorders and dysfunction of the brain, nervous system, and spine in companion animals.

These doctors have completed undergraduate education, veterinary school, an internship and specialized residency training in neurology before sitting for the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine Diplomate exam. The neurologists at Veterinary Neurology and Imaging of the Chesapeake are highly skilled board-certified neurologists/neurosurgeons prepared to handle the toughest of cases.
