Our ABVP Specialists

Board Certification  

Chances are your animal's doctor might never tell you, but you'd want to know: your veterinarian is one of a very small group of specialists, known as Diplomates, who earned the Diplomate title from the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners. In fact, your veterinarian is one of 900 ABVP Diplomates in the United States and abroad.

The ABVP certifies veterinary practitioners with exceptional knowledge, skill, and competency in the care of the total patient, and are certified in clinical practice for the species in which certification is granted. Clinical practice, as it pertains to veterinarians, is the art and science of applying medical knowledge to animals for their care and the alleviation and prevention of their diseases. Most veterinarians performing broad-based clinical practice are not board-certified.

The ABVP board-certified veterinarian has demonstrated they are capable of providing a level of clinical practice that is clearly superior to the norm of the profession.

The ABVP undergoes a comprehensive evaluation by the American Board of Veterinary Specialties (ABVS), a committee of the American Veterinary Medical Association, every three years to ensure that we are maintaining the required standards for our certification process.
