Guardian Veterinary Specialists is a 29,000 square foot advanced care referral specialty and 24 hour emergency and critical care hospital located at 4 Hardscrabble Heights in Brewster, NY. Our hospital serves pet owners and their pets, and community veterinarians in Putnam, Dutchess, Westchester, Fairfield, Orange, Rockland and Bronx counties, and surrounding communities in the Northeast.
Guardian Veterinary Specialists is founded by Jason Berg, DVM, DACVIM, a highly respected, board certified neurologist and internist with over 22 years’ experience in practice and as a veterinary business founder and owner. A much sought-after lecturer and instructor, both nationally and internationally, Dr. Berg is also a published author with articles in peer-reviewed journals, such as the American Veterinary Medical Association, Veterinary Internal Medicine, and American Animal Hospital Association, among others. He has held multiple positions with the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, and he is president of the Westchester Rockland Veterinary Medical Association. In addition, Dr. Berg has received numerous accolades and awards for his compassionate work with the shelter and rescue communities, and he is currently on the advisory board for the Westchester SPCA. Dr. Berg has devoted his life to practicing veterinary medicine with a difference. Incorporating compassion and sensitivity to pet parents and their pets with professionalism, integrity, and values, he strives to make a meaningful difference in the lives of pets and toward advancing veterinary medicine. With the opening of Guardian Veterinary Specialists, Dr. Berg’s goals are to provide the most compassionate and expert medical care and the latest technological and therapeutic advances available anywhere to help pets back on the road to recovery and live happy and healthy lives to the fullest.
Equipped with the latest diagnostic and treatment technologies, our facility offers comprehensive services in virtually all veterinary disciplines, including Emergency and Critical Care 24/7/365, as well as specialty services in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Neurology, Oncology, Cardiology, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Rehabilitation, Diagnostic Imaging, Dentistry, Integrative Medicine, Behavior, and Counseling.
At the core of our hospital are compassionate and highly trained doctors whose fundamental mission is to help pets get well. Our team of board certified specialists have advanced training and years of experience treating medical conditions -- from minor to the most complex. Using a collaborative team approach and working in concert with your family veterinarian, these medical experts focus entirely on providing the highest quality medical care to your pet to help ensure his or her recovery.
Ensuring that we meet all of our patients, clients, and referring veterinarians’ needs with unsurpassed medical expertise and advanced technology under one roof, our 2-level hospital houses 3 state-of-the-art surgery suites, 14 examination rooms, a large intensive care unit (ICU) and isolation ward. There are also dedicated suites for chemotherapy, dentistry, a rehabilitation suite with hydrotherapy center, endoscopy, MRI, CT, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, and digital x-ray. In addition, there is a complete in-house diagnostic reference laboratory and on-site pharmacy. To minimize stress for pets as well as their owners, our hospital has separate waiting rooms and hospital wards for dogs and cats.
Our entire staff is comprised of the most dedicated and compassionate individuals with a great love of pets, and we’ve devoted our lives to helping them. We’re pet owners ourselves and completely understand the stress and worry involved when a furry loved one becomes ill or injured. It’s our mission to help you and your pet in every way along the path from admission through diagnosis and treatment then recovery.
