Our Veterinary Internal Medicine Services in Newtown
A veterinary internal medicine specialist is skilled at diagnosing and treating diseases of the internal systems, such as kidney failure, digestive issues, hormonal problems, and diabetes.
Pets with critical, complex, or chronic conditions can benefit from the advanced training and skill of our board-certified internal medicine specialists, Dr. Meghan DeLucia and Dr. Michelle Pavlick.
If your pet’s diagnosis is known, our internist can confirm the diagnosis and make treatment recommendations, giving you peace of mind. If a diagnosis is elusive or therapy is not proving effective, our internist may be better able to reach a diagnosis or adjust the treatment plan to improve results and return your pet to good health or manage their chronic illness.
At Newtown Veterinary Specialists in Newtown, we emphasize a comprehensive, team approach to our cases and work not only with your veterinarian but also with other specialists to ensure the best care for our patients.
