Some health conditions require more than a routine exam and a prescription. From in-house diagnostics and imaging to laser therapy and pain management, our advanced care services are designed to give your pet every advantage.
Dr. Melissa Grech-Attard and the staff have developed clinical interests in internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, and diagnostic imaging that allow Montgomery Veterinary Hospital to manage a wide range of complex cases in-house. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, regular diagnostics allow veterinarians to identify and manage diseases in earlier stages, reducing the likelihood of crisis-level health events. Our advanced capabilities mean your pet can receive more thorough evaluation and treatment without always needing a referral to a specialist.
Having advanced capabilities in-house allows us to move faster and give you clearer answers. Rather than waiting days for outside lab results or coordinating referrals for every complex case, we can evaluate, diagnose, and begin treatment in a single visit in many situations.
We understand that dealing with a pet’s serious or chronic health condition can be stressful and overwhelming. Our approach is to walk you through every finding and recommendation honestly, so you always understand what is happening with your pet and what your options are.
Advanced care at Montgomery Veterinary Hospital is not about offering the most procedures — it is about having the right tools and knowledge to manage complex cases with the same down-to-earth honesty and genuine care we bring to every appointment.
Whether your pet has been recently diagnosed with a serious condition or you are looking for a practice that can handle more than routine wellness visits, our team is here to provide the level of care your companion deserves.
Mast cell tumors are among the most common skin tumors we see in dogs, and they can be deceiving. What looks like a harmless little bump can sometimes be something that needs prompt attention. We offer Stelfonta, an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed specifically for certain mast cell tumors in dogs, as well as in-house mass removals performed by Dr. Grech-Attard, who approaches each case carefully to remove tissue cleanly and give your pet the best chance at a full recovery. If you notice a new or changing lump on your pet, do not wait to have it looked at. We will evaluate it honestly, explain exactly what we are seeing, and walk you through every option so you can make the most informed decision for your companion.
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. At Montgomery Veterinary Hospital, we maintain in-house laboratory equipment and diagnostic imaging capabilities that allow the doctors to gather detailed information about your pet’s health quickly and efficiently. In-house bloodwork can reveal organ function, signs of infection, anemia, clotting ability, and early markers of disease — often before visible symptoms appear. Our radiology services provide imaging of your pet’s internal structures, helping us evaluate the heart, lungs, bones, joints, and abdominal organs.
For cases requiring a more detailed look, doctors are experienced in diagnostic imaging interpretation and uses these tools as part of a comprehensive evaluation process. All findings are reviewed with you in plain language so you understand exactly what we found and what it means for your pet’s care going forward. Our goal is always to give you a complete picture, not just a partial answer.
