Founded in 2000, "California Veterinary Specialists (CVS) is one of the nation's leading providers of advanced multidisciplinary medical services for animals in need of critical emergency care and treatment of serious acute and chronic illnesses. Our Southern California specialty and critical care hospital network includes 24-hour, 365-day-a year state-of-the-art facilities serving San Diego County and the Inland Empire counties of Riverside and San Bernardino.

Unlike other emergency and specialty veterinary groups that operate as separate businesses under one roof, we take an innovative team approach to our multidisciplinary group. Our experienced specialists in emergency, critical care, internal medicine, surgery, oncology, radiology, cardiology and ophthalmology work together as one unit to provide the best integrated veterinary care available in support of each patient's health and well being. CVS' collaborative approach to patient care and healing includes our award-winning, board-certified doctors and medical staff, our clients and referring primary-care veterinarians. A majority of our patients are referred to us by their primary-care doctor for advanced diagnostics, specialty procedures like orthopedic surgery, ultrasound exams, CT scans and endoscopy, coil occlusion for patent ductus arteriosus, or intensive care. We also perform advanced therapeutic techniques such as chemotherapy, ventilation therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Our outstanding and dedicated team of surgeons, internists, emergency/critical care specialists, oncologists and radiologists are all board-certified with advanced training in internal medicine, surgery, critical care, oncology, cardiology, radiology, ophthalmology and emergency services. This accomplished team provides the highest quality care in state-of-the-art facilities that feature fully equipped in-house laboratories, surgical suites, separate ICUs, temperature-controlled wards with soft, comfortable bedding, and on-site pharmacies. The latest diagnostic equipment, including color-flow Doppler ultrasound, laparoscopy, video endoscopy, PC-based Vivid 7 echocardiography system, digital radiology, CT scanner, arthroscopy and one of the West Coast's only functional hyperbaric oxygen chambers for pets, is also an integral part of fulfilling CVS' mission to deliver life-saving patient care and improved quality of patient life.

Providing the highest quality care comparable, and in many ways superior to that offered in human medicine, is a hallmark of CVS. Compassionate care is always our main objective, and each of our clinicians takes great pride in each patient's health and well being. We encourage the families of our critical-need patients to take an active role during the long-term care and healing process, and provide special visitation rooms so owners can spend time with their pets throughout recovery. CVS also offers affordable payment plans.

Our clinicians are some of most highly regarded and respected in the industry. Many are featured speakers at international veterinary conferences and have authored books, papers and peer-reviewed articles as well as abstracts on innovative medical treatments and therapies they're developing to improve quality of life.

CVS' vision is to lead the specialty veterinary profession by providing medical care from the heart while using the latest advances in science and technology to better diagnose and treat patients. By developing the skills and abilities of our specialty practices to provide innovative, life-saving medical treatments and therapies, we will continue to fulfill our mission of providing compassionate care that improves the quality of life for our patients.
