Goodison Veterinary Center, News

We’ve gone digital!

It’s an exciting season at Goodison Veterinary Center!

We have added digital radiology, allowing faster, clearer x-ray images for your pets. Our pet owners can view their pet’s images from home via the internet, which also allows specialists to view them from anywhere. We are sure this new equipment will allow more detailed diagnostics and better care for your pet. Images can also be burned to a CD so clients can take them to specialists without carrying bulky films, or worrying about returning those films to the office.

We are also now able to perform abdominal ultrasounds with our new ultrasound equipment. This will aid our doctors a great deal in diagnostics and treatment of abdominal ailments, as well as allowing us to better monitor pregnancies. The new Ultrasound also aids our doctors in routine procedures, such as spays.

With this new technology, we are confident we can continue to provide the best care for your pets.

Are you curious about exactly what breeds make up your mixed breed dog? With Wisdom Panel’s new DNA test, you can find out! With just a simple blood sample, Wisdom Panel, a division of Mars Veterinary, can identify 130 recognized AKC breeds. The final report identifies the breeds detected, as well as describing the history and behavior traits of those breeds. Ask to see a sample report, or visit www.wisdompanel.com for more details.

Sadly, in November we said good-bye to Dr. Robin Hubbard, who had been part of our  veterinary family for many years. Dr. Hubbard and her family have moved to Virginia, where she tells us they are enjoying a warm winter, and look forward to having fresh vegetables in their garden in the Spring.

New to GVC is Dr. Kristina Yee, DVM, who joined our family in October 2007. Dr. Kristina Yee is a 2006 graduate from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. She completed her undergraduate studies at Michigan State University, spent 2.5 years on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts studying veterinary medicine and completed her clinical training at The Ohio State University. She is primarily interested in companion animal medicine and surgery, as well as business management, professional development and public speaking. When she is not practicing or lecturing at veterinary schools, she loves spending time with her family, taking her dogs to the dog park (Sammie, Ernie and Peanut) and catching Detroit Tiger home runs at Comerica Park. Dr. Yee looks forward to creating many memorable friendships as part of the GVC family!
