Dr. Elyse Kent is board certified in Feline medicine & surgery.

Dr. Kent is one of a very small group of doctors who have earned the title “Diplomate” from the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP). In fact, Dr. Kent is one of only about 90 Feline Diplomates worldwide.
What does that mean? It means Dr. Kent made a choice to undergo a very long, very difficult process of additional studies and examination to become board certified. Recertification is required every 10 years and Dr. Kent recertified in 2005. ABVP Diplomates have proven knowledge and expertise in clinical practice
Your cats deserve the very best medical care available.
