Boston Veterinary Specialists is one of Boston’s most established private specialty practices, providing specialized veterinary surgery for over 25 years. We are not a university or teaching hospital, and do not train residents to perform surgery on our patients. We work closely with referring veterinarians and pet owners to provide specialty care in a timely manner, with compassion and exceptional service.

William B. Henry, DVM, and Catherine Briere, DVM, MS, are board-certified surgical specialists and the only doctors providing patient care at our hospital. They are assisted by a highly-trained team of veterinary health professionals in our state-of-the-art surgical facility.

Dr. Henry and Dr. Briere are both renowned veterinary surgeons. Dr. William Henry has taught and mentored hundreds of veterinarians throughout New England over the years and is one of the most experienced veterinary surgeons in the United States. Dr. Catherine Briere has many years of experience in surgical care for small animals. Her areas of expertise include the most complex orthopedic procedures and neurosurgery for spinal conditions and other neurological problems.
