Specialties
Azzore Veterinary Specialists provides specialty medical care and surgery to companion animals. We are not a general veterinary practice, but a specialty surgery center.
History
Established in 1995.
Azzore was founded in 1995, by Dr. Terry L. Dew, a board certified small animal surgeon. As the only board certified veterinary surgeon in the state of Arkansas, Dr. Dew was initially a mobile surgeon, performing procedures in individual practices. As the practice matured Dr. Dew provided services in Emergency Centers in Springdale, Little Rock and Memphis. In April 2009, Dr. Dew opened the Azzore Veterinary Specialists surgery center in Russellville, conveniently located in the scenic River Valley of central Arkansas. This new location allows Dr. Dew to provide the highest quality specialized veterinary care to animals throughout the Mid-South.
Azzore is pleased to be able to offer the best in small animal surgery.
