About Us
At Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG), our mission is to help people and their pets when they need it most. We are dedicated to providing exceptional emergency veterinary care, 24/7, even on holidays. Our commitment to excellence and compassion drives everything we do, ensuring that every pet receives the highest level of care in the most challenging moments.
Our journey began with a vision to revolutionize the ER experience for pets and their owners. Dr. David Bessler, a passionate veterinarian, recognized the need for a more supportive and transparent approach to emergency care. Alongside Co-Founder and President David Glattstein, we reimagined veterinary medicine to prioritize the well-being of both pets and their families. Our open floor plan allows pet owners to be actively involved in their pet's care, fostering a sense of togetherness and trust.
We offer a wide range of services designed to address the most urgent needs of pets. From accident wounds and vomiting to complex surgeries, our fully equipped hospitals provide high-quality critical care. We also offer point-of-care ultrasound, urgent care, x-rays, diagnostics, and end-of-life care. Our skilled surgeons are always on site for emergency operations, and if your pet needs to stay overnight, we ensure that you can stay with them for comfort and support.
At VEG, we pride ourselves on our transparent approach. We believe in open communication, ensuring that you are fully informed about your pet's diagnosis and treatment options. Our team of specially trained emergency doctors is equipped to handle all types of pets, including avians, reptiles, and exotics. We understand that every minute counts, and we are ready to provide immediate triage and treatment whenever the unexpected happens.
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond our medical services. We strive to create a supportive environment for our employees, recognizing that their well-being is crucial to delivering exceptional care. We invest in our team members, offering competitive compensation, comprehensive health and wellness benefits, and inclusive fertility and family-building care. Our culture values diversity, innovation, and compassion, reflecting the communities we serve.
At Veterinary Emergency Group, we are dedicated to being a trusted partner for your primary veterinarian, providing after-hours emergency care that complements their practice. We are here to help you and your pet navigate the most challenging moments with confidence and care. Choose VEG for a better experience and better care.
