Our new state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Lab expands our ability to support referring veterinarians with advanced, minimally invasive cardiac interventions.
We now offer specialized procedures including transcatheter closure of PDAs, pacemaker implantation, balloon valvuloplasty for Pulmonic Stenosis, and left atrial decompression for advanced Mitral valve disease.
These capabilities allow us to provide additional treatment options for complex cardiac patients while maintaining close collaboration and communication with our referring veterinary partners to ensure seamless patient care.
If your pet has a cardiovascular condition, you’ll have an entire cardiology team helping to improve your pet’s quality of life so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
Your pet will receive unparalleled medical care during their time at the hospital (and they’ll be spoiled with love and attention, too).
Your pet can’t tell us what’s wrong, so we use sophisticated diagnostics and imaging tools to uncover the source of the problem.
Just as no two patients are the same, neither are their treatment plans. Our cardiology team has experience with a range of advanced procedures and minimally invasive care options to get your pet on the path to wellness, including:
Experience makes all the difference.
Our cardiology 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. Michael Lesser’s special interests include non-invasive techniques like echocardiography, color flow doppler ultrasound, electrocardiography, and blood pressure monitoring. He finds cases involving pacemaker implantation, balloon valvuloplasty, angiography, and transcatheter occlusion for patent ductus arteriosus particularly gratifying.
In his free time, Dr. Lesser enjoys working on his family’s ranch which includes dogs, cats, donkeys, alpacas and tortoises.
Dr. James Wood is passionate about the advancement of veterinary cardiology and is particularly interested in interventional techniques for congenital and acquired heart disease. His other clinical interests include:
In his free time, Dr. Wood enjoys playing and watching hockey, and spending time with his wife and children.
