Pet emergencies can be scary – we’re here to help you handle them.
We understand that seeing your pet sick, hurt or in distress can be stressful – especially if you don’t know what’s wrong. Fortunately, our experienced ER clinicians are prepared to take action and help.
Acting quickly in an emergency may save your pet’s life.
If your pet is experiencing an emergency, you’ll have an entire veterinary team helping them so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
Experience makes all the difference.
Our emergency team is made up of veterinarians, vet technicians and assistants, and support staff with rigorous training and experience in specialty medicine. The team works hand in hand to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves. Because we’re a multidisciplinary hospital, the team can consult the expertise of other specialty departments, too.
Dr. Sheridan Dillon-Robinson finds emergency stabilization, critical care, trauma, and creating strong relationships with clients particularly rewarding. She is passionate about mentoring fellow veterinarians, improving emergency medicine workflows and fostering a collaborative team environment where both patients and staff can thrive.
Outside of the hospital, Dr. Dillon-Robinson enjoys traveling, trying new restaurants with her close friends, and planning her next international adventure. She also enjoys singing and performing in local community theater productions whenever she has the opportunity.
Dr. Chris Given finds neurology, endocrine diseases and researching literature to find a comprehensive answer particularly gratifying.
Dr. Given enjoys puns, dad jokes, and music (listening, writing and performing), writing parody songs about nerdy things in veterinary medicine, video games and movies. He has a Yorkshire terrier named Loki.
Dr. Michael Hale’s clinical interests include the treatment of emergency cases such as polytraumas, endocrine crises, urinary obstructions, acute abdomens, septic shock and the management of complex wounds. Trained in surgical treatments of cruciate ligament (ACL, CCL) rupture, he also enjoys orthopedic disease cases.
Outside of work, Dr. Hale’s hobbies include racing and working on cars, restoring vintage motorcycles and playing the drums. He also enjoys rock climbing, cycling and the occasional round of golf. He and his fiancé have a dog, a cat and many fish.
Dr. Shawn O’Brien’s clinical interests include endocrine diseases, toxicology and urinary emergencies such as urethral obstruction in cats.
Outside of the hospital, Dr. O’Brien enjoys spending time with her boyfriend, who is a general practice veterinarian, and their two golden retrievers named Harper and Goose. She enjoys finding ways to balance a busy veterinary career with the simple things that make life enjoyable and can usually be found taking long walks with the dogs, getting lost in a good book, baking sourdough or exploring new coffee shops.
Dr. Flora Okwuagwu’s clinical interests include respiratory emergencies, endocrine crises, toxicities, polytraumas and transfusion medicine. She is dedicated to providing exceptional and compassionate care for pets and their families.
Outside of the hospital, Dr. Okwuagwu enjoys playing tennis, traveling, cooking, singing, dancing and sharing quiet time with her beloved cat, Maze.
