About Us
Bellevue Veterinary Emergency + Specialty Hospital was established with one goal in mind: to be there for pets and their people.
We know emergency visits aren’t planned, and navigating specialty care can be overwhelming. Our dedicated team and people-centric policies create an environment where pets receive world class care and pet parents receive clarity and compassion at every step in the process.
Our Hospital
Founded in 2023 by Dr. Christopher Lewis, Bellevue Veterinary Emergency + Specialty Hospital is modeled after the community it serves: progressive, inclusive, and state-of-the-art. From our 16,000-square-foot hospital in the heart of Bellevue, we offer 24/7 full-service emergency and specialty veterinary care. Under Dr. Lewis’ guidance, our team of critical care doctors, specialists, and technicians practice cutting-edge medicine with compassion and empathy.
We’re also committed to making the client experience as easy and convenient as possible. We offer modern tools to facilitate communication, minimize wait times, streamline scheduling, and more. But those high-tech bells and whistles never come at the expense of one-on-one interactions. Ample face-time with doctors and staff means you’ll always understand the level of care your pet is receiving.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF SPECIALTY PRACTICE
Our doctors don’t just share a clinic, they share a commitment. We have a diverse and collaborative environment where specialists share information, offer opinions, and work together to provide uncompromising care for pets.
Our guiding principle is “do the right thing.” It’s a mindset that starts with our people, extends to pet owners, and always centers on the pets in our care. We hire talented, passionate people, then provide them with tools and support to do their jobs. We show up for our clients and go the extra mile to earn their trust. We support continuous learning and know that when we work together, our patients benefit.
We also believe that our impact should extend beyond our hospital walls. Our goal is to be a recognized and respected local business—whether or not you or your pets have ever stepped through our door. That means participating in local events, reaching out to those who serve our community, and providing education and resources to our neighbors. So when you see us out and about, we hope you’ll stop and say hi.
How We Practice Medicine
First and foremost, we are here to help. That means understanding not only our patients’ medical needs but also pet parents’ concerns and constraints. Then with that information, we devise treatment plans based on the highest medical and ethical standards.
We know veterinary medicine never stops changing, so we never stop learning. A focus on mentorship, training, and continued education ensures we’re always practicing high-quality medicine using the latest medical and technological advancements.
