Neurology - Clinic Information

PVSEC recently expanded its range of services to include neurology and neurosurgery with the addition of Dr. Edward MacKillop, Western Pennsylvania's only board-certified neurologist.

The Neurology/Neurosurgery department employs numerous diagnostic technologies, including MRI/CT (provided on-site by PetsDx) and electrodiagnostic tools, such as BAER testing, to determine how to best treat both acute and chronic neurological disorders.

Appointments

Neurology appointments are scheduled upon referral from your pet's primary care veterinarian or recommendation from another PVSEC doctor or department. Appointments are generally scheduled Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. Diagnostics and treatments are normally scheduled for the afternoon of the same day as the initial consultation, but may also be scheduled for the following day.

Your pet's initial appointment will last approximately 45 minutes. Food should be withheld after 8:00 PM the night before the appointment. Water should be withheld after 8:00 AM the morning of the appointment. Please bring your pet's current medications and previous x-rays to the initial exam to assist in the doctor's diagnosis.

HOURS: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM

Fees

Consultations and appointments with PVSEC Neurology require a deposit at the time of admission for treatment. Full payment will be due at the time of your pet's discharge. We welcome cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover or Care Credit.
