Respiratory Medicine
Dr. Philip Padrid, our resident Respiratory Medicine specialist, is available to any Family Pet patient for both general medicine and respiratory cases. He also sees patients from other hospitals on a referral basis for respiratory consultations and procedures only.

Cardiology
Dr. Dana Buoscio, a board certified veterinary cardiologist, is available to examine your pet upon special appointment. She travels to our hospital with her color flow Doppler ultrasound machine, the key to diagnosing and characterizing so many cardiac disorders. Because Dr. Buoscio travels the city and suburbs each day, she asks that her patients be dropped off so they are immediately available for examination when she arrives.

Chiropractic
Dr. Sig Paul Hansen, whose initial training was in human chiropractic medicine, sees patients at our hospital on Thursdays. After obtaining a referral from your regular veterinarian, patients are scheduled directly through Dr. Hansen, not through our appointment desk.

In Chicago, we are lucky to be surrounded by many veterinary specialists. There are veterinary neurologists, behaviorist, dentists, surgeons, ophthalmologists and even oncologists in the surrounding suburbs. We discuss our cases and refer to them frequently. We want your pet to have the best care available. Feel free to ask us if your pet might benefit from visiting a veterinary specialist.
