Board Certified Specialists

Both Ryan Less, DVM and Jake Taylor, DVM have earned the title “Diplomate” from the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP).

It means your veterinarian made the choice to undergo a very long, very difficult process of additional studies and examination to become a board certified specialist. This process can take up to six years to complete. The process, however, does not end at certification. ABVP Diplomates are required to re-certify every 10 years, something most other specialty groups do not require. In the end, the motivation behind achieving Diplomate status is, very simply, excellence. What does that mean?

How does this affect you?

You can rest easy knowing your animals are receiving expert treatment because your veterinarian feels a strong commitment to providing the best possible care available.
