How Do I Pick a Dermatologist or Otologist for My Pet?
PLEASE NOTE: As of June 30th, 2023, our dermatology service will close. We are very sad to be losing Dr. Zabel’s talents within our hospital but are grateful that she is staying in the Portland Metro area. We will continue to send dermatology cases to her that come through our emergency or other specialty services.
You can reach her at sonjazabel@web.de if you wish to be added to an email list for updates on her new endeavors in Portland.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Board-certified dermatology and allergy care can help your pet live a more comfortable life and give you peace of mind, but finding a veterinary dermatologist can sometimes be difficult.
Find a Veterinary Dermatologist or Otologist Near You
For many animals, skin and allergy conditions mean regular visits to their dermatologist, so finding a dermatologist near you can be very convenient. If your pet struggles with ear infections, balance issues, or other vestibular conditions, finding a veterinary dermatologist with advanced otology experience is important.
Ask Your Veterinarian for A Referral to an Animal Dermatologist
It’s helpful to speak to your regular veterinarian about your pet’s conditions first. They may have a veterinary dermatologist nearby that they recommend.
What sets DoveLewis’ animal dermatology team apart?
Our animal dermatology team is dedicated to diagnosing and treating your pet with diseases and conditions of the skin which includes fur (hair), nails, and ears. We’re unique because we place a large emphasis on ears and use video otoscopy in 4K imaging to diagnose and treat your pet. Of course, we treat more than treat animal ear conditions! We specialize in autoimmune diseases, allergies, skin and ear conditions, and infections. We work interchangeably with our veterinary neurology department and work closely with our other departments at DoveLewis to provide the care your pet needs. Also, we provide CT and MRI diagnostic scans for your pet as part of dermatology and neurology services.
