Our Mission is to enhance the human-animal bond by providing our community of referring veterinarians and pet owners with exceptional specialty and emergency care.
In 1994, Dr. Robert J. Orsher opened the doors to the Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center (VSEC), a 24-hour multi-specialty referral and emergency hospital in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. His goal was to bring board-certified specialists from multiple disciplines under one roof to practice as a cohesive team.
Veterinary specialists in cardiology, dermatology, diagnostic imaging, emergency & critical care, holistic medicine & acupuncture, internal medicine, neurology/neurosurgery, oncology, and surgery have joined together to actualize Dr. Orsher’s vision. VSEC offers leading-edge medicine while working closely with pet owners and their referring veterinarians to ensure the highest level of communication and care.

On June 1, 2011, VSEC opened the doors to its new, state-of-the-art facility in Levittown, PA. The new hospital features several new amenities, including a linear accelerator to provide radiation therapy for cancer patients and a special room to administer radioactive iodine treatment for hyperthyroid cats, along with a CT scanner, MRI scanner, dedicated ICU, separate canine and feline wards and a presentation room for continuing education lectures.
VSEC continues to expand under its owners' leadership, with plans to open a satellite clinic in Fall 2012 at a recently purchased property located at 1114 South Front Street in Philadelphia. These two new hospitals will help VSEC carry out its mission of enhancing the human-animal bond by providing our community of referring veterinarians and pet owners with exceptional emergency and specialty veterinary care. The owners lead the staff to accomplish this goal by modeling VSEC's core values of professional excellence, teamwork, integrity, compassion and service
