ECVR’s Rehabilitation mission is to enhance and maintain the quality of life for your four-legged family member. Your treatment team consists of the referring veterinarian, the therapist, assistants and the pet owner.

The care of your pet is under the overall guidance of Dr. Ned Williams, DVM, Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Surgeons and under the direct supervision of Stacie Williams OTR/L, CHT. Trained technical staff will assist in carrying out the plan of care as well as the care of your pet throughout the day. Stacie has been a therapist in the human field for 11 years. She has been treating the canine/feline population for about 2 years and is enrolled and near completion of a national Canine Certification program through the University of Tennessee.

Expectations: We will provide a weekly update with instructions for home therapy. Our expectation of the pet owners who choose to enter the program is that they will agree to follow through with the individual home exercise program in order to facilitate the best possible outcome from therapy. This is most important for the primary individual involved, your pet.
