Dr. Jim Easley is our Board Certified Veterinary Surgeon at Townsend Veterinary Hospital. Board certification requires an additional four years of advanced surgical training beyond the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree. Certified surgeons must also pass rigorous examinations administered by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons to demonstrate expertise and competency in advanced surgical techniques.
Dr. Easley accepts referrals from area veterinarians for a wide range of specialized surgical procedures. Pet owners who would like a surgical evaluation may also schedule an exam directly with Dr. Easley without a referral.
