I have a great interest in the areas of Emergency Medicine,
Anesthesiology, Perioperative care, and Pain Management. I also have an
intense desire to integrate many other areas of internal medicine
diagnostics and therapeutics (oncology, ultrasound, physical therapy)
into
a solid referral service and extended teaching curriculum. Pain
management has been an overlooked aspect of our profession which allows
assimilation of many areas of veterinary knowledge. This unique branch
of
patient care encompasses many avenues of therapy that have classically
evaded most of our diagnostic and therapeutic spectrums. From outpatient
services which address chronic pain syndromes associated with oncology,
geriatric, and degenerative disease, through acute intensive and surgical
analgesia, to behavioral and rehabilitative medicine, the opportunity
to
diagnose and treat patients with painful or debilitative issues has become
my focus and personal challenge. I enjoy the ability to interact with
our
clients and patients over these often complex problems and the attempt
to
provide for multiple options of medical and surgical resolve. We have
the
unique opportunity to address the issues of perioperative care, anesthesia
and analgesia, and emergency medicine in a teaching hospital that
integrates collective thought of multiple specialties in both small and
large animal medicine/surgery as part of its DVM and postdoctoral
curriculum. I am proud to be part of the Cornell Hospital for Animals
as
it greets the questions of why and how with sound scholarly advancement,
excelling client/patient services, and of course, compassion.
