Critical Care and Surgery By Our Chula Vista Veterinarian

Each veterinarian is experienced and then also brings a specialization to the facility. Our vets are able to work as a team to save a pet’s life when necessary and they consult with one another when they are presented with a difficult case. Dr. Deo, Dr. Mead, Dr. Harris, Dr. Rosza and Dr. Bowman have decades of experience among them. They are highly trained in animal Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Neurology, Endocrinology and Oncology. It is like having five veterinary hospitals in one and every aspect of our Chula Vista animal vet clinic care is elevated because of it.
