Our Mission Statement
Chesapeake Veterinary Referral CenterŐs team of certified specialty doctors and support staff seeks to better the lives of patients and their owners with their dedication to compassionate and exceptional veterinary medical care.
ABOUT US
CVRC is a group of specialty practices that operate out of shared facilities. The veterinarians in our practices are certified in cardiology, dermatology, internal medicine, oncology, dentistry, and surgery. Veterinarians that achieve board certification have 3-5 years of additional training in their area of specialization after graduating from veterinary school. As a referral practice, we serve as an extension of your regular veterinarian's practice for those patients with health problems that are more involved or require specialized treatment or diagnostics. Due to the increasing sophistication of diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, and the ever expanding body of medical and surgical knowledge, referral to veterinary specialists has become much more common.
