Why does Southeast Veterinary Neurology recommend MRI for diagnosing neurological conditions?

MRI is recommended because it is the advanced imaging modality of choice for soft tissues like the brain and spinal cord, capable of revealing diseases that X-rays and CT scans may miss. Southeast Veterinary Neurology uses a high-field 1.5 Tesla MRI, which provides clearer images in less time, potentially reducing anesthesia duration and increasing diagnostic accuracy.

This was such a positive experience for us in a very scary time. Everyone made us feel so comfortable and explained all results in detail. The follow up with sending all results to our doctors and calling to check in was also so wonderful and helpful. Thank you for a very positive experience! Every single person from the front desk to the doctors was amazing!!! Feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is in the best of hands when here. Truly a top notch organization. THANK YOU!

found this place by the grace of Dr. Laurenzo at Lund Animal Hospital. I brought my dog in after he experienced three cluster seizures and was in a prolonged post-ictal phase, unable to walk. Dr. Laurenzo called your office, and after speaking with your team, she started him on the recommended medication. Just one day later, while he isn’t running yet, he is semi-walking, no longer convulsing, and was finally able to sleep for two hours last night compared to none before. The improvement has been incredible. I especially want to start by thanking Wynter, she was such a sweetheart and so supportive throughout the process, along with Dr. D. Thank you all so much. If this is how compassionately you treat me as a pet parent, I can only imagine how exceptional the care is for your patients and their families.

We are so grateful for Heather their rehabilitation specialist and Abby her technician for all the work they have done for our scooter! We rescued scooter about 4 months ago and he was wheelchair dependent when we arrived. After working with Heather and her team, scooter is hardly using his wheelchair, he is jumping on all 4’s, and has gained so much mobility and strength. I feel so blessed that scooter has been able to work with them! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Also, their front office staff are kind, attentive, and compassionate.

I can’t say enough good things about the team of Heather and Abigale at SEVN! They’ve truly been a bright spot in our journey with our corgi, Zane, who has degenerative myelopathy (DM). When we first started going to therapy there, Zane was very hesitant and unsure, but thanks to the gentle patience and care from Heather and Abi, he’s become so much more comfortable, and dare I say, excited, for his visits (okay, that may be wishful thinking!! 🤣). They treat him like family, giving him lots of yummy treats and encouragement along the way. They even send me videos and pictures from each session, which feels like getting updates from summer camp (except instead of canoeing and arts & crafts, it’s underwater treadmill time, laser therapy, and stretching sessions!) We know we can’t stop the progression of DM, but Heather and Abi are helping us give Zane the best quality of life possible while we try to slow things down. The love and dedication they show make such a difference, not just for Zane, but for us as pet parents too. If your dog needs therapy or support, this is the place to go. Your pup will be in the kindest, most capable hands. I appreciate you ladies so much!

Heather Altigieri, the lead rehabilitation therapist at Southeast Veterinary Neurology, is so good with my dog Molly. We go 1x per week for physical therapy as part of Molly’s treatment for autoimmune meningitis. Heather is professional, calm, and caring, and she takes the time to explain everything. She literally gets down to the animal’s level. Even when speaking with handlers in the lobby, she sits on the ground so she can be with the animal and let the handler focus on the conversation. Molly receives laser therapy, underwater treadmill, and therapeutic exercises—and she always has access to squeaky toys and peanut butter! Heather is invested in each pet’s recovery, explains the treatments and the exercises to do at home, and provides photo and video updates. When I first came to Southeast Veterinary Neurology, I felt extremely overwhelmed and like a stranger, but Heather’s welcoming nature made me feel less alone in caring for Molly. Molly loves both Heather and her assistant, Abbey Perry, who are patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. I appreciate the entire team at SEVN, from the professionalism of front desk staff, Dr. Thibault, and the remaining doctors & techs at SEVN. Heather & Abby just stand out.
