Welcome to the DVSC in Grapevine
August, 2008

In July 2008, the DVSC Southlake location relocates to our new facility in Grapevine, the Animal Emergency Hospital and Veterinary Specialty Center. The new address is:

2700 West Highway 114
Grapevine, TX 76051
tel 817.379.5444 (same phone)

The new state-of-the-art facility includes a variety of specialty practices: Surgery, Internal Medicine, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Physical Therapy and a 24-hour Emergency Hospital.

Physical Therapy is expanding to offer full rehabilitation services with state of the art equipment including an underwater treadmill. The physical therapy practice is owned by Angie Faver, PT and is available to treat not only DVSC cases, but patients referred from general practices as well.

The DVSC continues to increase surgeon staffing to accommodate your cases promptly. Our services also will expand through the addition of a CT scanner and minimally invasive surgery: arthroscopy and laparoscopy.

Please stop by for a visit, to see our new facility, and to meet with the DVSC surgeons.

The DVSC Welcomes Dr. Greg Arnold
June, 2008

Dr. Arnold graduated from the College
of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A&M University in May of 2001. After completing an internship at Kansas State University, he practiced in general and emergency medicine at Sherrill Veterinary Hospital and
the North Texas Emergency Pet Center in the Coppell/ Carrollton area of Greater Dallas for two years. At that time, he left private practice to do a surgical fellowship in osteoarthritis, gait analysis, and physical rehabilitation at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, TN.

Since that time, he has completed an ACVS accredited surgery residency program at North Carolina State University where his primary interests included fracture management, the BFX cementless hip replacement system, oncologic surgery and general soft tissue surgery. After finishing his residency in June 2008, he has decided to return to the Dallas area to join the DVSC and be around his friends and family.

Dr. Arnold grew up in the Dallas area and is active in his church. He enjoys exercise, NHL ice hockey, cooking and acoustic guitar. The area has changed a lot in the last four years and he’s looking
forward to establishing a host of new contacts and friends.

Our Committment to You
April, 2008

In order to clear up some confusion, the Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center (DVSC) would like to let you know that there has not been, nor will there be, any change in our ownership or management. Any rumors to the contrary are inaccurate.

As you are aware, the referral practices in the Veterinary Referral Center of North Texas are financially independent and changes regarding any practice other than the DVSC will not affect our relationship with local referring veterinarians.

Veterinarians: We remain committed to you and your clients. We look forward to continuing working with you as we have in the past. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
