Affiliated Veterinary Specialists (AVS) is the only group of specially trained, board-certified veterinarians in Central Florida with locations in Maitland and in the Waterford Lakes area. We have treated and served over 80,000 patients since January 1992. Sometimes a cat or dog will have a problem that requires the treatment of a specialist or the use of specialized medical or surgical equipment that even the most skilled of primary care veterinarians cannot provide. For such cases, your veterinarian may refer you to AVS.
