Recommendations for cardiology vet?

Submitted by anomalyofnature t3_11lu9pv in philadelphia

I have Sphynx cats, which require annual echocardiograms, and my guys are due for their heart checkups. Anyone had a particularly good experience with vets who perform this procedure? My cats have a primary vet, but their practice doesn’t have the equipment for an echo.

My cat just had an echo at Mount Laurel Animal Hospital.

I had to call every cardio vet within an hour of me. They were the first to pick me up off of the wait list haha. It’s crazy!

Dr. Cai (internist) there is the best. My dog saw him at Penn while he was a resident and dude constantly went above and beyond.

He’s been the main doctor helping my cat! He’s a gem for sure.

Yeah, it’s wild. I’m used to having to schedule 3-6 months out with their old vet in another state. There was an organization that used to do echo clinics for cats prone to HCM, but I think they’re on hiatus. Thanks for the heads up on Mount Laurel!

Dr. Mike Miller at Marlton Animal Hospital was recommended to me as well and they had the second quickest waitlist, so I’d recommend them too.

Good luck!

Our dog got cardiograms at Andorra Veterinary, and it took months to schedule.
