Board Certified Specialists 

Did you know... 

Kimberly Crest Veterinary Hospital has two Board Certified Specialists on staff. Both Michael Thomsen,D.V.M and Ryan Less,D.V.M have earned the title "Diplomate" from the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP).

What does that mean?

It means your veterinarian made the choice to undergo a very long, very difficult process of additional studies and examination to become a board certified specialist. This process can take up to six years to complete. The process, however, does not end at certification. ABVP Diplomates are required to recertify every 10 years- something most other specialty groups do not require. In the end, the motivation behind achieving Diplomate status is, very simply, excellence. 

How does this affect you?

You can rest easy knowing your animals are recieving expert treatment because your veterinarian feels a strong commitment to providing the best possible care available.
