Dr. Ursla

A board-certified veterinary dermatologist is a veterinarian who has undergone an additional, multi-year training program in dermatology and then passed a rigorous examination to become a board-certified Diplomate of either the American or European Colleges of Veterinary Dermatology. In Dr. Ursula’s specific case, she underwent a 3-year-training program in investigative and clinical dermatology at North Carolina State University before becoming board-certified with both, the American and European Colleges of Veterinary Dermatology.

At AVD we can help break the vicious cycle of recurrent bacterial or yeast infections of the skin, ears or nails. Additionally, we treat the toughest of skin allergies, auto-immune skin diseases, diseases that lead to hair loss and nail problems, as well as ear diseases.

Healing starts with the right diagnosis.  At AVD we offer a wide variety of diagnostic tests, from cytology and culture to skin allergy testing, hormonal tests, skin biopsies and vide-otoscopy. However, while we have all these tests at our disposal, we do not believe in running tests just for the sake of running tests. Instead, for every patient, we develop an individualized diagnostic and treatment plan that leads us to the right diagnosis and starts us on the path of recovery.
