Who We Are

Carolina Veterinary Specialists was founded in 1998 for the purpose of providing exceptional veterinary referral services and 24-hour emergency care to the veterinarians and pet owners of Charlotte, North Carolina. Soon thereafter offices were established in Greensboro and Huntersville. In 2006, Carolina Veterinary Specialists opened its fourth facility in Winston-Salem. Our fifth office is scheduled to open in March of 2011. Carolina Veterinary Specialists currently offers referral services in 11 specialty disciplines and currently employs 47 veterinarians.

Our practice is unique in that each of our specialists have completed at least 3 years of additional training beyond veterinary school, and have passed rigorous examinations to become Board Certified in their respective areas of specialization. Our practice is also distinguished by requiring a referral from your primary care veterinarian. It is our mission to provide state-of-the-art medical care with compassion and exceptional service to both our clients and referring veterinarians. We further strive to serve the pet-owning public and veterinarians of the region by providing advanced-level services and procedures not generally available in the family practice. It is our philosophy to serve as an extension of your family practice at times when unique medical care is required.
