Veterinary Diagnostic Centers

The Veterinary Diagnostic Centers story

Since graduating from veterinary school over twenty years ago, doctors Katie and Jeff Bloomberg have observed the seismic changes (some good and some bad) that have affected our ability to provide the necessary veterinary care to our pets. A perfect example is the development and use of advanced diagnostics, but access to this care limits the benefit to our pets.

Our profession is experiencing critical shortages of veterinary care providers in all facets, from primary care to emergency care to specialists. We've been heartbroken listening to pet parents' stories of agonizing searches for a veterinary specialist who could see their pet in a timely fashion. One of the most common instances is the need to have an abdominal or cardiac ultrasound performed by a board-certified internist or cardiologist. These doctors are working tirelessly, but there are not enough of them to fulfill the need.

A solution needed to be found — so we created Veterinary Diagnostic Centers.
