Internal Medicine

Scheduling Required

Our internal medicine service is open from Tuesday - Friday between 8am and 6pm. Comprehensive after hour services (ultrasound and endoscopy) are available Monday to Friday (and Saturday during the day), when referred from your primary care provider. We break down our appointments into three parts, where our consultations begin prior to meeting you and your pet (“pre-appointment telemedicine consultation).

Our pre-appointment telemedicine consultation serves the purposes of obtaining a through history and tailoring the needs of your pet’s up-coming appointment as best as we can.

After the appointment, a comprehensive summary instructions for after care and follow up will be provided. In efforts to improve both our client and patient experience, our follow ups are done in a variety of different ways (outside a traditional recheck appointment). These can be technician appointments for follow ups that need lab work, telemedicine rechecks (when we just need to check in on your pet’s progress) or collaborative with your primary vet (especially for our clients that have traveled far to come see us).

Similar to human medicine, veterinary medicine also has specialized areas in which veterinary specialists receive advanced training. These specialist provide their expertise to ensure the best possible outcome for your pet.

Becoming a veterinary specialist requires additional training, such as completing an internship and a residency program in their specific area of specialization (which typically takes 4-6 years), in addition to the four years of veterinary school that all veterinarians are required to complete. Each college has specific requirements that must be met, including passing board examinations and publishing peer-reviewed journal articles.

Veterinary medicine has over 20 recognized specialty organizations with more than 45 different specialties. Of these, the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) and the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) are particularly noteworthy. ACVIM certifies small animal internal medicine (SAIM) specialists, who provide expertise in diagnosing and managing complex internal medicine issues. ACVS certifies small animal surgery specialists, who are experts in performing advanced surgical procedures. There are also more general categories, such as specialists in canine and feline practice, who provide comprehensive care for pets. However, if your pet requires specialized care within internal medicine or surgery, your primary vet may prefer working with a board-certified veterinary internal medicine specialist or a board-certified veterinary surgeon for the best possible outcome.

Dr. Gideon was very kind and listened to our concern's regarding our fur baby and his issues. Making a care plan with direction has given us a feeling that we are being heard and that the AVC cares. First your receptionist Khay who I first spoke with . Of course the vet tech I am so sorry I forgot her name. Our baby needed to lay down and without asking she got blankets for him to lay on. That action shows me how kind she was. She answered all our questions and we had a lot. You listen

Dr. Samson, his assistant, and staff members are absolutely STELLAR!! He operated on my baby boy weeks ago, and we still receive follow up phone calls from the team checking in on our boy and trying to come up with a game plan for his future health. Their bedside manners are something I have never seen before. They do this with love and true passion. I recommend this veterinarian hands down with eyes closed 100%. Dr. Samson is the absolute best!!!! A true professional. Knows what he is doing and does his it well. He is down to earth and yet professional beyond means. Truly a skilled surgeon indeed!!! A very rare gem. His assistant (can't think of her name) was warm and caring with our baby. She assured us in our time of worry and sent us a picture when we were most concerned. She response to our messages and is diligent in her work. A great team indeed!!!! The surgery was amazing, keeping in contact with me and sending me pictures blew my mind away, following up with us after the surgery just to brainstorm a healthy future for my baby, bringing us back in to ease our minds and assuring us that you guys are on our side in fighting this battle, is second to none.

Great care was provided to our precious dog. We felt assured that she was receiving great care. Thank you to the staff from the front desk, Danielle and Dr. Daniels and the unseen behind the scenes individuals delivering great care. We appreciate the care you provided to our sweet Maizy. The time Dr Daniels spent with us explaining the procedure and healing time and care for her after her surgery.

Dr. Samson Daniels is an excellent surgeon. He removed a very large Intermuscular Lipoma on our dog's left hip. The aftercare was amazing. Dr. Daniels truly cared about our dog and checked on him frequently. Our dog has recovered beautifully and is back to normal activities. We also had to use their Urgent Care Hospital for our dog. Dr. Stacie Lipinski quickly and accurately figured out what was wrong with our dog's eye and sent us for emergency Ophthalmology Consult. Our dog has since been seen by an Ophthalmologist and problem treated and is doing wonderful. When time is of the essence and having Drs. that are clinically and diagnostically astute makes a difference. We highly recommend Advanced Veterinary Care Hospital. Thank you Dr. Samson Daniels and Dr. Stacie Lipinski and Malik vet tech and all other staff that we did not catch their name that took part in caring for our pet. Dr. Samson Daniels calling up to check on our pet and Dr. Lipinski for her accurate assessment of our pet during his emergent visit.

Huyen Vitale

Had a great overall experience from the medical team. There were a few communication issues from the techs/front desk staff. I know I spoke with the doc about my concerns but I want to review in writing what happened to avoid future pet parents having the same unprofessional experience : If you're going to take my dog for an "exam" but not going to come back with him and I have to ask three people for him, you should really express this to the pet owner prior to taking the pet to the back. Additionally I asked twice about someone calling me prior to pick up to review invoice and no one did, so I was unprepared and when I asked for clarification on my additional charges it was a whole process since the tech seemed to be confused too. The front desk girl who sat on closest to the bathroom needs to work on her facial expressions as she made me super uncomfortable with her judgement towards me asking questions about my bill when I wasn't even talking to her ! The surgeon was wonderful and so was the tech that helped me upon pick up. I appreciate your clinic helping with my baby, but as an emergency type of clinic I think communication needs to improve between pet owners and staff.

Since the moment we walked in the door, we have felt nothing but complete and utter care for Murphy. From the front desk, staff to the nurses and doctors you have all made us feel so seen in a time where we were so scared, not knowing how to get our boy healthy. Thank you so much! Marissa has been amazing, I can't say enough about how much she's shown her care and investment in Murphy. And Dr. Gideon - my goodness I'm just so thankful for him. The care and attention to detail

We found out from our veterinarian on Friday morning that are Xena was in a serious situation that needed an ultrasound so we were referred to Advanced veterinarian care and that same afternoon we were told she needed surgery immediately and they took care of her. We are so happy with how they took care of her and kept her comfortable before and after surgery. We will definitely recommend them to anyone that we know that is in a bad situation with their fur baby. Thank you Dr Daniel and the rest of the veterinarian staff Our surgeon Dr Daniel That they treated Xena as if it was one of their own pets

Professional with class! Sincere care for my English Bulldog and treated him like he was the only one in the practice. An extremely emotional day but they comforted me and explained all the details with empathy. They made me feel very important from the very first call to inquire to the steps I took out of the door with a well-cared for Buster! He is doing very well now. Everyone! the sincere care for my dog
