At The InFURmary we provide specialty-level insight in a general practice so you leave with confidence not confusion. Veterinary visits with a specialist. Never with a hand-off. Book Your Visit See How We’re Different

Not your average general practice.

In veterinary medicine, “boarded” means a doctor has completed years of advanced training, handled a large number of complex cases, published research, and passed a rigorous exam. It’s the highest level of recognition in the profession.

Most boarded specialists focus on one specific area, such as surgery or cardiology. Dr. Johnson is boarded in general practice, which means that same advanced training applies across the full spectrum of care for dogs and cats.

The InFURmary is one of the only places in San Diego where your family vet is also a boarded specialist. Every visit starts at a higher level of knowledge and skill.
