Veterinary Technician - Mobile Diagnostic Imaging

The Animal Cardiology Center (TACC) takes on the most advanced cardiac cases in the region. We have cultivated a highly skilled team that takes pride in mastering this specialized and often underserved field. Led by Board-Certified Cardiologist Dr. Justin Carlson, our team is known for delivering high-level diagnostics while maintaining a compassionate, patient-centered approach. We are committed to doing things the right way - for our patients, clients, and team.

Now, we’re bringing that same standard of care to the District through our growing Mobile Echocardiography Program.
