News Flash!! News Flash!! News Flash!!
As Nassau Veterinary Hospital begins the New Year, we have much to be grateful for. We are excited to have Dr. Angela Oswald as a new member of our team. Dr. Oswald graduated from the University of Florida and comes to us with a special interest in Feline Medicine and Surgery. Dr. Oswald brings with her many years of experience as she was a technician for 8 years prior to entering medical school. She shares our love of this profession, as well as being quite “ooey-gooey” about our patients and clients alike. She is a new mom to Hunter, and shares her home with husband, Gage and a herd of dogs and cats!!! Please feel free to stop by to meet her and welcome her to the practice. Dr. Oswald sees appointments on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday afternoons. She performs surgery on Mondays and Friday mornings.
The hospital is also thrilled to be entering into some great new medical technology arenas. We will be implementing laser therapy in the near future. This electrifying new therapy is making headlines for all that it can do for accelerated wound healing, decreasing inflammation, and addressing painful medical conditions that used to rely on heavy medications to treat. This new modality allows for non-invasive, alternative treatment for a myriad of conditions that were debilitating for our patients. Please call the hospital to get more information about this new form of treatment for your pet.
In 2011, Nassau Veterinary Hospital installed a new digital radiology system. This new form of radiology allows for better imaging and allows the doctors to manipulate the image to gain the most information from each film. This means a decreased number of x-rays that have to be taken and much less time in the x-ray room for your pet. This is much less stressful for our patients, so this makes us and our owners happy!! Our new digital technology also allows us to make a digital CD copy of your pet’s x-rays that allow you to view them on your computer at home. Please do not hesitate to ask for a CD copy of your x-rays if you would like them!!
Along with our new laser technology, we are also very pleased to be branching into stem cell therapy. This ground-breaking medical treatment is showing promise for many conditions that are a direct result of faulty design (bad hips), or in instances where the body is degenerating due to disease or age (chronic renal failure or osteoarthritis). Scientific studies have shown that stem cells have the ability to rejuvenate certain parts of the body that have become dysfunctional due to disease or longevity. This exciting new medical treatment has many uses and we are just beginning to learn how these cells can benefit our patients. Please watch for future updates regarding the integration of this new treatment. We hope to be able to begin this novel therapy by the summer of 2012.
We are so pleased that our wonderful technicians and client coordinators have honored us with another year of loyal service!! Patty, our Office Manager continues to provide some of the most exemplary interfacing at our front desk. We are constantly amazed at her ability to multi-task and still provide such complete and competent care for our clients. Heather, our Lead Technician is without a doubt the best animal medical care professional I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Hospitalized animals in her care are so comfortable and loved….and we really do believe that this has a HUGE impact on how well they do medically. Our technician Ashley is a new bride, and she and her husband, Evan just adopted a beautiful dog named Amelia. Ashley is a big part of why our pets love to come to our facility…..she flat out spoils them!!! We hope that as Ashley’s family grows, she continues to grow with us.
Georgia is the tall-drink-of-water at the front desk and has recently joined the NVH team. She has settled right in, and she is happy to help you with any of your appointment scheduling needs, or to answer any questions you may have. She is such a pleasure to work with, and we are so happy to have her on board!!! Morgan rounds out the team…Morgan may be a short-timer due to the fact that she has applied to several Veterinary Colleges and is hoping for admission for the class of 2016!! Although still acquiring her skills in veterinary medicine, Morgan brings inquisitiveness for learning and a fresh perspective to our team. GOOD LUCK on your veterinary school applications Morgan, but we sure will miss you!!!
Please enjoy our new website design, and stay tuned for more exciting news regarding our hospital and what we have planned for the future for you and your pets. We hope your holidays were joyful and that 2012 is healthy and happy for your family and pets!!!
