Mobile Echo

Now Serving the Connecticut Area

TACC is now providing mobile echo services in Connecticut with Shannon Drozd, a certified veterinary technician. Dr. Justin Carlson has personally trained Shannon in veterinary cardiology image capture. Shannon travels to veterinary practices to offer exceptional echo services, ensuring a high level of cardiac care for patients who cannot see a cardiologist in person.

All of the echocardiograms are read by Dr. Justin Carlson or one of our other TACC cardiologists, and a timely and thorough report is sent to your practice. We are always happy to discuss a case or answer any questions that you may have.
