Points East Veterinary Hospital Enhances Services with New Internal Medicine Department

Expansion of Internal Medicine Services at Points East Veterinary Hospital

Points East Veterinary Specialty Hospital, a prominent name in Eastern North Carolina's veterinary network, is set to enhance its capabilities with the introduction of an Internal Medicine service. This strategic expansion will be led by Dr. Claire Wiley, a highly regarded board-certified specialist in small animal internal medicine. The integration of internal medicine into the hospital's service offerings aims to provide pet owners with even more comprehensive care solutions.

About Dr. Claire Wiley

Dr. Wiley's impressive qualifications and expertise make her a valuable addition to the already accomplished team at Points East. After earning her undergraduate degree from Yale University and completing her veterinary training at the University of Pennsylvania, she undertook a rigorous residency at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Her innovative research during her residency focuses on critical topics such as early cancer detection and genetic diseases in dogs, contributing significantly to the field of veterinary internal medicine.

"Internal medicine gives us the tools to uncover what's happening beneath the surface," Dr. Wiley explains. Her dedication is evident as she states her gratitude for the opportunity to assist families in navigating their pets' health challenges. The knowledge she brings, including her research on molecular diagnostics and liquid biopsy techniques, sets a strong foundation for advancing patient care at the hospital.

Collaborative Care and Enhanced Offerings

The addition of Dr. Wiley and the Internal Medicine service complements the existing robust framework at Points East, which now includes two boarded surgeons, two criticalists, and a full team of thirteen emergency clinicians. This multi-disciplinary approach allows for seamless collaboration, ensuring that pets receive the highest standard of care.

Paige Harrington, DVM and Vice President of Medical Leadership at Vets Pets, remarks on the significance of Dr. Wiley's arrival by saying, "Welcoming Dr. Wiley is an exciting step for Points East VSH. Her expertise strengthens our ability to serve our patients and our community." This sentiment is echoed throughout the hospital, where the core mission emphasizes the importance of providing advanced veterinary medicine to the families and pets that rely on their services.

Commitment to Growth and Community Service

Since its inception, Points East Veterinary Specialty Hospital has continuously adapted to meet the growing demands for specialized veterinary care. The hospital has rolled out various services over the years, and the introduction of internal medicine exemplifies its commitment to providing a wide range of specialized care for pets in the region.

Vets Pets, the cooperative network of veterinary hospitals to which Points East belongs, aims to enhance veterinary practices by offering operational support, advanced technology, and continued education for veterinary teams across North Carolina. CEO Steve Thomas emphasizes the organization's dedication to elevating veterinary care: "Vets Pets serves veterinarians and their teams providing care to North Carolina pet owning families.
