Veterinary Assistant

Who We Are:

The Animal Cardiology Center (TACC) is a brand new, purpose-built standalone Cardiology focused specialty provider opening in Westchester. Under the leadership of board-certified veterinary cardiologist Dr. Justin Carlson, our specialty team is at the forefront of cardiac care, combining cutting-edge diagnostics with compassionate, personalized treatment. At TACC, we’re not just redefining what’s possible in veterinary cardiology, we’re setting the standard.
