A Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (abbreviated DACVO) is a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist who completed 4-5 years of arduous ophthalmology residency training after graduating from veterinary school and successfully passing the board-certification exam. Only veterinarians with DACVO after their name are certified ophthalmologists.

At your pet’s appointment, a staff member will meet you and your pet to review pertinent history, medications, etc. in a consultation room. You will remain here while your pet is taken to the exam room. After the exam, your pet will be brought back to you while Dr. Keil organizes your pet’s findings and creates detailed discharge notes for you to review. Dr. Keil will then meet with you to answer questions and chat.

Please arrive 15 minutes early for your appointment.  Arriving early is very important for intake organization and potential dilation of your pet’s eyes. Late arrivals (5 minutes after appointment time) may be asked to reschedule or will potentially be addressed as they can be fit in in amongst the following scheduled appointments.
