New vet hospital
Gasow Veterinary Hospital has opened the doors to its new state-of-the art facility located at 36877 Woodward Avenue, Birmingham. The Gasow practice served its pet patients in a temporary location in Troy for a year and a half until construction on the new facility was completed. The veterinary hospital was founded in 1933 by Dr. Frederick H. Gasow. The original location was in downtown Birmingham but moved to its current location a year later. Over the decades, the original hospital went under five remodels. The new Gasow Veterinary Hospital spans 11,000 square feet and has 14 exam rooms, a radiology and ultrasound room, three surgical suites, a CT room, a dental x-ray and dental suite, an oncology area and state of the art laboratory testing. New surgical equipment and post operative monitoring systems ensure the best care for the pet patients. Other new services and procedures that Gasow will offer in the next few months include: vet scalpel; laparoscopic gastropexy; endoscopy; and Nu.Q Vet cancer testing—a screening test to aid early cancer detection. Dr. Kira Walsh serves as medical director for Gasow. Other doctors on staff include Dr. James R. Wright, Dr. Fred Dolehanty, Dr. Katie Raper, Dr. Shelby Babisz, Dr. Kiara Boey and Dr. Julie Foster. Two more doctors will join the practice this coming Spring. The builder for the project was C.E. Gleason Constructors, Inc, of Troy. Gasow is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Evening care (beginning at 5:30 p.m.) and all weekend care is classified as “urgent care” and additional fees may apply.
