As we sit on the 1 year anniversary of Hurricane Helene today, we’d like to once again thank Sister Kitten Animal Rescue for their incredible work and efforts to help our community during the highs and (very) lows. Many things felt very uncertain in the aftermath of Helene, but Eric and his team worked tirelessly for weeks rescuing, relocating, and feeding hundreds of animals affected by the storm. This truly is what community looks like!

This past week our doctors and tech team started training for Cold Laser Therapy! What is cold laser therapy, you may ask? Cold Laser Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is the use of low intensity light to help exelerate healing and inflammation located either superficially or internally. In conjunction with helping quickly repair skin damage (such as: lesions, hot spots, and post-operation incision) CLT can also help ease the pain of arthritis, speeds up in the recovery of ear infections, post dental work, smoke inhalation damage, and so much more!

Rory (furry companion to CSR manager Kylie) was the first dog at AVA West to try out CLT to help with his chronic back pain and stood like a total champ! He also looked so incredibly stylish wearing his required PPE, if we do say so ourselves. 🥹

In the coming weeks our team will continue to prepare for the roll out of CLT, but all are welcome to call to inquire if your pet would be a good candidate and book a consult with Dr. Goff or Dr. Lord to get started!

Asheville Veterinary Associates wouldn’t be who we are today without this man right here.

The Cowboy. Boots. Mustache. Dr. Brad Goff.

He manages both teams with a passion for helping animals and a love for doing what is right. With over 30 years of experience in veterinary medicine, Dr. Goff is always the first one to jump into action and the last one to leave… no matter how long it takes. We are truly so grateful to have him leading our pack each and every day with his vast knowledge and continuous encouragement for each one of us to grow in the field.

Have a good memory with Dr. Goff? Share it below!
