VETERINARIAN - SPECIALIZING IN LAMENESS: WHAT IS IT & WHAT TO DO FOR I

If contacting me for patient consult, I will need access the following information before the consult: 

• Pet's medical records 
• In what sport or activity is the pet involved 
• Your goals for the consult

Once you purchase the consult, you will be provided with instructions.

Dr. Brunke is a native New Yorker.  Having grown up in New York City, he then attended Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts and obtained his DVM in 2004.  His first position was at a mixed animal practice, where he saw the benefits of sports medicine in equine patients and wanted to apply these techniques to small animals.

Dr. Brunke moved to a small animal practice and took additional training in AO Basic Principles and the Slocum TPLO Certification.  He received his certification in canine rehabilitation (CCRP) in 2008 from the University of Tennessee and is now a faculty member of the program.  He completed the practice experience pathway for the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation in 2017 and passed the ACVSMR boards in January, 2018.

Currently, Dr. Brunke is Medical Director at Veterinary Surgical Centers Rehabilitation in Vienna, VA.  As a diplomate of the VSMR College, Dr. Brunke believes in a "big picture" and practical approach to his patients.  He enjoys consulting on both challenging orthopedic and neurologic cases. 

Teleconsultations for Veterinary Care Professionals

A Teleconsultation is a live patient care visit that's done using a cell phone, tablet, or computer.  You can access Vital Vet Consultants from around the world without leaving your clinic.  This is an excellent way to co-treat with a specialist without impacting your veterinary-client-patient relationship.  Each Consultant is carefully chosen for their expertise in a specific area including orthopedic and neurologic conditions, sports medicine, athletic conditioning and return to sport, rehabilitation and physical therapy, holistic therapies, assistive products and equipment, and much more. 

What Happens After I Book a Teleconsultation?

Your Consultant will contact you to schedule a convenient virtual appointment date. You may be asked to submit information about your patient to review before your meeting. Most appointments are scheduled within 5 business days of purchase but can be made sooner, if needed. That's it. We want to make it as simple as possible for you to get the help you need.
