Along with receiving the best surgical care, our patients receive advanced anesthesia care and pain management techniques from their own dedicated RVT anesthetist.
Our team works with Board-Certified Veterinary Anesthesiologists and also includes a Veterinary Technician Specialist (VTS) in Anesthesia and Analgesia recognized by the Academy of Veterinary Technicians in Anesthesia and Analgesia. Our team ensures that patients with complex anesthetic needs are managed appropriately. Continuous advanced training, expert care, and teamwork enable us to maintain the highest standards of anesthesia care.
Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVT) who achieve Veterinary Technician Specialist (VTS) certifications undertake additional training in a recognized specialty field in veterinary medicine. Training takes a minimum of 3 years under the supervision of a Board-Certified Veterinary Specialist. Specific testing and continuing education requirements must be met each year to maintain VTS certifications.
Apex Veterinary Ophthalmology Specialists is the only ophthalmology practice in Colorado with a VTS in anesthesia on the team. Their specialized anesthesia training benefits all our patients by enhancing team training, especially dogs and cats with underlying diseases such as diabetes mellitus, heart disease, kidney disease, and airway disease, including brachycephalic syndrome.
Whether you’re nervous about anesthesia in general or your pet has a pre-existing condition that requires additional monitoring, the Apex Veterinary Ophthalmology team is here to help!
We offer optional add-on services that give you access to our Board Certified Veterinary Anesthesiologists, either in-person or from My Vet Anesthesiologist™ for your pet’s procedure.
Our leaders in anesthesiology work to provide safe anesthesia for every dog and cat.
