About Us

Veterinary Medicine Specialists of Dallas/Fort Worth (VMS) is a referral-based practice that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of internal medicine and cardiac diseases in dogs and cats. Our doctors have received significant additional training after their formal veterinary education to become board-certified in their respective specialties by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (www.ACVIM.org).

VMS was established in August 2008 by Drs. Caeley Melmed and Erika Haschke Pickens. Prior to this, they graduated in the same year from Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine and practiced small animal internal medicine together in the Dallas area for several years.

Our doctors and staff are dedicated to diagnosing and treating your beloved dogs and cats in order to enhance their lives. We strive daily to provide quality patient care and thorough communication with owners and referring veterinarians.

By carefully assessing your pet and performing the appropriate tests to establish a diagnosis, we help to develop and implement a treatment plan and assist your primary care veterinarian to maintain your pet’s health.
