Ladner's 48th Avenue Animal Hospital was recently awarded the highest level of veterinary excellence.
The clinic earned accreditation from the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) following a thorough review of its practice protocols, medical equipment, and facility and client service.
Unlike human hospitals, accreditation of animal hospitals is not required. Accredited veterinary hospitals have chosen to be evaluated on approximately 900 quality standards that go above and beyond basic regulations, ranging from patient care and pain management to staff training and advanced diagnostic services.
AAHA-accredited hospitals are recognized as being among the finest in the industry, and are consistently at the forefront of advanced veterinary medicine.
To maintain accredited status, 48th Avenue Animal Hospital must continue to be evaluated regularly by AAHA.
Dr. Neeraj Sharma took over the practice in 2011.
