For Veterinarians

At VCA Animal Specialty Group, we’ve taken a collaborative approach to patient care from the very beginning. In fact, it was - and still is - the very rock upon which our entire hospital was built. In 1990, when Dr. Kirk Wendelburg founded Animal Specialty Group as a surgical referral facility, it was specifically designed to be an open environment, where surgeons were encouraged to consult with pet owners, referring veterinarians, and other surgeons working under the same roof. To this day, those values still hold true.

Working closely with each other, as well as with pet owners and family veterinarians, we’re able to deliver the best possible care by openly exchanging information and ideas for the betterment of our patients. And as we continue to add new specialties and services to our team, we pledge to always stay true to the collaborative spirit upon which our hospital was founded.
