Miami, FL – Miami Veterinary Specialists (MVS) is pleased to announce the addition of Jonathan J. Kreissler, DVM to the full time internal medicine practice at MVS.  Dr. Kreissler will offer an advanced diagnostic medicine service, which will focus on minimally invasive techniques such as ultrasound-guided biopsy acquisition, laparoscopy, and endoscopy of the urinary tract, nasal cavity, lungs and ear canals.  His practice will also include helping patients with the management of chronic pain associated with, for example, cancer pain and arthritis.

“My primary goal is to provide excellent patient care.  Since internal medicine cases are often complex, the best care is frequently accomplished by involving several veterinarians, each with a unique role in the diagnostic and/or treatment plan,” according to Dr. Jonathan J. Kreissler. “My role is to facilitate an efficient diagnostic work-up to establish a prognosis and an appropriate therapeutic plan that meets the client’s expectations for their pet, all while working closely with the referring veterinarian for follow-up management.”

“MVS encourages the referring veterinarians to be actively involved in the patient's care.  They promote constant communication with the referring veterinarian and that's part of what makes the MVS practice such a successful one. This is why I choose to practice at MVS,” says Dr. Jonathan J. Kreissler.
