Why We Exist
Our mission is to provide unparalleled specialty and emergency veterinary care while educating and empowering the next generation of veterinary professionals. With compassion and a commitment to excellence, we support the special bond between pets and their people in the Southern New England community.
Ocean State Veterinary Specialists was founded by a husband and wife team who had a vision to create a top-flight referral and emergency clinic capable of providing university-level care right here in Rhode Island. Our staff of 300+ employees is made up of exceptional doctors, nurses and support staff who are not only great at their job but who are also genuine animal lovers. Although we are a for-profit business, our guiding principle has and will always be, we do what is best for your pet. To honor this mission, we have created a fee structure substantially less expensive than similar referral and emergency hospitals in the Northeast so that as many pets as possible can take advantage of the expertise, technology and 24-hour care that we provide.
The doctors practicing at OSVS are strong supporters of using Evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM). Practicing EBVM is critical because it ensures that the treatments and care veterinarians provide are based on the best available scientific research, combined with their clinical experience and the needs of each animal. This approach helps veterinarians make the most effective decisions for a pet’s health, leading to better outcomes, fewer unnecessary treatments, and a more efficient use of clients’ resources. By using evidence-based methods, pet owners can feel confident that their animals are receiving the most up-to-date and proven care.
