Neurology
The Neurology/Neurosurgery service at the Texas A&M College
of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences provides cutting
edge clinical care to dogs and cats with neurological disease. The
service is supported by three faculty members, Drs. Joe Mankin and
Jon Levine, both of whom are board certified neurologists, and Dr.
Sharon Kerwin, who is a board certified surgeon. In addition, we
work with a team including radiologists, internists,
anesthesiologists, pathologists, other specialists, and basic
scientists to give your pet the best care possible.
