Our veterinary hospital is comprised of 13 progressive general practioners; two ABVP board certified practitioners and five specialists. Our board certified specialty team consists of two surgeons, dermatologist, cardiologist and a dually boarded IM/ECC specialist. Twelve to fifteen of our GP/ABVP veterinary staff are previous interns who completed a HAH internship and have remained a part of the HAH family for anywhere between 1 and 30+ years.
To round out our specialty team we have three members of the American College of Veterinary Radiologists who are available for consultation to the practice in the reviewing of our digital radiographs as well as Antech Imaging Services. These groups provide additional radiographic expertise for the intern group, as well as daily written tele-radiographic consultation.
We use Antech as the main reference laboratory, in conjunction with our fully staffed in-house lab. We are able to perform routine chemistries, hemograms, and cytology daily. An Idexx Catalyst dry chemistry unit is available for after-hours or STAT chemistries.VCA HAH has a dedicated veterinary pharmacy with a knowledgeable and friendly staff.
We have an extremely busy emergency room requiring us to have point of care testing to include I-Stat, Alpha Trak and a hand held Lactate meter. In addition, TFAST and AFAST ultrasound is available . The hospital maintains 18 anesthesia stations with state of the art monitoring and anesthesia capabilities including, a CT machine, Life Window and BioNet physiologic monitors, respiratory monitors, Doppler blood pressure and SurgiVet pulse oximetry. There are three operating suites, with a total of six tables, available as well as two dental tables with Schick digital dental radiography. Other radiographic capabilities are provided with two 600 MA 100 Kvp x-ray units with Eklin digitalized processing.
During the externs time here, they will rotate through specialists, 5 days a week putting in 8 hour days, for ideally two weeks. In total, they will spend 4 days with our boarded surgeon Dr. Brianna Danielson, 2 days with our dermatologist Dr. Melanie Hnot, 2 days with our cardiologist Dr. Dewey Carpenter, 1 day with our criticalist/internal medicine specialist Dr. Randi Fishkin, and one day with one of our ABVP staff DVM's Dr. Anne Murphy.
