Veterinary Neurology and Imaging of the Chesapeake (VNIOC) is uniquely positioned as a trusted, state-of-the-art advanced diagnostic and surgical practice, combining reliable techniques and pioneering innovation. VNIOC harnesses science and technology to create better outcomes for animals that support healthier living and enhance the overall quality of life. Our use of best imaging practices with our 1.5T MRI and CT, highly specialized surgery and unparalleled rehabilitation distinguish us in Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic Region. We also have a full-time veterinarian who supervises anesthesia for MRI. We are the first in North America to use SonoCure, a revolutionary surgical technology previously restricted to the human field that preferentially removes tumorous tissue and preserves normal tissue. And, the first neurosurgical team in the Mid-Atlantic to treat Wobbler Syndrome with advanced cervical arthroplasty using an artificial disc break-through invented by Dr. Filippo Adamo, California. Founded by our Medical Chief of Staff, Dr. Jay McDonnell, a board-certified veterinary neurologist with more than 15 years of clinical experience, who has been practicing in Maryland since 2004. Formerly the Chief of Neurology-Neurosurgery at Tufts University, Dr. McDonnell helped established the in-house magnetic resonance imaging suite, a brain surgery unit and minimally invasive CT-guided biopsy program at the university. We provide a variety of services including: · Neurological evaluation and recommendations. · Advanced imaging—MRI and CT performance and interpretation. · Neurology – back, neck and brain surgery. · Cerebrospinal fluid collection and analysis. · Electrodiagnostics exams, BAER testing and neuromuscular disease work-up. · Seizure disorder work-up and consultations. · Post-operative care, pain management and rehabilitation.
