EXPERT VETERINARY CARE Your Pets Are The Priority At ACCESS Specialty Hospitals Palm Beach County On Southern Blvd. BY MIKE MAY
If you live in the western communities and your pet needs specialty veterinary care or emergency services, you can find what you need close to home. At the northeast corner of Southern Blvd. and State Road 7, you’ll find ACCESS Specialty Animal Hospitals Palm Beach County. ACCESS stands for Advanced Critical Care, Emergency, and Specialty Services. And just like a human hospital, this ani-
mal hospital never closes. It’s open for emergency services 24/7. Just as people, from time to time, need access to an MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, radiology treatment, cardiology care, the ICU or surgery, so do dogs and cats, which comprise the vast majority of the patients at ACCESS. If your pet needs a specialist in the area of veterinary oncology, neurology, ophthalmology, cardiology or internal medicine,
ACCESS also has experts who can provide that kind of professional expertise. The ophthalmology services at ACCESS allow it to provide unique vision assistance to dogs. “Dogs don’t read or drive cars, but we can provide some assistance with their vision,” said Mark Garrison, technician manager at the Animal Eye Specialty Clinic, which provides outside ophthalmology services for ACCESS. wellington the magazine | may 2022 53
