Emergency Veterinarian

About the hospital

Eastern Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Center (EPVMC) was built on a simple but powerful idea: pets in the Lehigh Valley deserve access to advanced veterinary care at any hour, any day. What began as a 24/7 emergency hospital has grown into a collaborative specialty center where medicine is practiced at a high level and no one works alone. Our teams are made up of people who are curious, driven, and committed to doing what is best for patients. We support each other, we challenge each other, and we continue to grow together.

Our hospital supports specialties in Anesthesia, Critical Care, Dentistry, Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Pain Management, and Surgery, as well as our foundational emergency service. EPVMC is a VECCS Level III certified hospital. Emergency doctors have access to advanced diagnostics including point-of-care ultrasound, digital radiography, 64-slice helical CT, 1.5T MRI, and fluoroscopy, along with a full onsite laboratory, 6 oxygen cages, dedicated GI and respiratory isolation suites, all working alongside an experienced specialty team that supports case collaboration.

Allentown sits in the heart of the Lehigh Valley, one of Pennsylvania’s fastest-growing regions. It offers a mix of city convenience, small-town comfort, and easy access to bigger destinations, attracting families, young professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts with a strong balance of lifestyle, affordability, and opportunity.
