Veterinary dermatologists also have significant training and experience in managing allergic skin diseases. 

Board Certified Veterinary Dermatologists are required to receive a degree in veterinary medicine, complete a rigorous three-year dermatology residency, publish a scientific research study, and pass the American College of Veterinary Dermatology exam. Board Certified Veterinary Dermatologists are required to complete continuing education to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in the study of dermatology to maintain their status.

What is your cancellation policy?

The initial consultation fee is required to be paid upfront upon appointment booking. Our office policy requires 24 hours notice of all cancelled or rescheduled appointments.
