Cardiology Care at Animal Hospital of Sandy Springs
The Animal Hospital of Sandy Springs is proud to offer specialized cardiology care as part of our comprehensive range of veterinary services. Understanding the importance of heart health in pets, we have partnered with Southeast Veterinary Cardiology (SEVC) to bring expert cardiological consultations and treatments directly to our clinic. Leading our cardiology service is Dr. Brandon Pogue, DVM, DACVIM, a board-certified cardiologist with a wealth of experience and a passion for enhancing the quality of life for pets with heart conditions.
Our Cardiology Services Include:
- Echocardiography: Dr. Pogue performs echocardiograms using the GE Vivid iq, the newest generation of portable cardiac-specific ultrasound. This approach ensures that each patient receives a real-time, thorough examination and diagnosis of heart conditions.
- In-Person Consultations: Dr. Pogue offers the unique advantage of in-person consultations at the time of the echocardiogram. This immediate discussion of results and interpretations with the primary care veterinarian allows for direct guidance on the management of cardiac diseases.
- Comprehensive Reports: Following each consultation, a detailed written report is provided. This report includes the diagnosis, an in-depth overview of the disease, client education materials, treatment plans, and follow-up recommendations, all designed to facilitate clear communication with pet owners.
