Urban Animal is fortunate to have a board certified veterinary internal medicine specialist on staff. Below is a list of common advanced procedures performed by Polly Peterson, DVM, DACVIM and our internal medicine team.
Polly Peterson, DVM, DACVIM, is a specially-trained internist who oversees Urban Animal’s Internal Medicine Department. Dr. Peterson has more than 20 years of experience and graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Cell and Molecular Biology and completed her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Washington State University. She completed her internship at North Carolina State University and a residency in Internal Medicine at Texas A&M.
Most internists work within 24-hour specialty hospitals. It’s a rarity for a general practice to have a board-certified internist on staff – this makes Urban Animal unique. Dr. Peterson shares her expertise with the other skilled veterinarians who are overseeing our urgent care cases.
All internal medicine consultations need to be scheduled appointments at our Capitol Hill location with Dr. Peterson. Inquire at internalmedicine@urbananimalnw.com to schedule. Internal medicine appointments cannot be scheduled online.
