Our goal is to provide the best in veterinary internal medicine. We have two internists to perform procedures six days per week at both our Seattle and Renton locations. Our team approach to internal medicine gives pets with complex medical problems the best possible treatment and care, with in- hospital access to specialists in surgery, radiology, critical care, and oncology. Our internists are diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and have extensive experience working with cases requiring continued care.
