Internal Medicine Veterinary Specialty Services

We are pleased to have four dedicated internal medicine specialists on staff at VCA Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic. Veterinary internal medicine is related to the diagnosis, management, and nonsurgical treatment of diseases of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and reproductive organs, as well as the liver, kidneys, and immune and blood systems. Loomis Basin's internal medicine specialists are experienced with determining both the cause of your pet's illness and the correct course of medication to be used to heal it.

For example, if your pet is vomiting or having seizures, we know that these symptoms might be caused by a problem that is congenital, acquired later in life, or perhaps by an infectious agent or toxic substance in your pet's environment. Internal medicine specialists will help to diagnose the cause quickly and efficiently, leading us to the correct course of treatment.

Drs. Steve Crow, Noelani Reinker and Marcia Smith work together as a team of dedicated internal medicine specialists at Loomis Basin.

AAHA Accreditation

In 2009, our internal medicine service was one of the first in the country to achieve referral practice accreditation from the American Animal Hospital Association. AAHA accreditation testifies that Loomis Basin meets the highest standards of the veterinary profession for patient care, client and referring veterinarian service, and medical protocols.

Referral accreditation reflects that we follow the same high principles that your regular veterinarian lives by and indicates that we know and understand how important communication is throughout the referral. Working together with your general practice veterinarian, our AAHA accreditation status helps ensure optimal care for your pet.
