Dr. Brian Beale's weekly radio show is an excellent source of information about all things related to your pet's health. We never miss an episode here at PetTalk. Catch it every Sunday night at 8 p.m. on NewsRadio KTRH on AM channel 740. Here's a little information from KTRH to get you acquainted with our favorite veterinarian-turned-radio-star: Dr. Brian Beale is a board-certified surgeon with Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists (GCVS) in Houston. Dr. Beale joined GCVS in 1992 after completing his residency and serving on the faculty of the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine. He also attended the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Beale has a special interest in arthroscopy, minimally invasive surgery, fracture repair, treatment of arthritis, and pain management. He has authored many book chapters and scientific articles and is a co-author of two veterinary textbooks — Small Animal Arthroscopy and The Pet Lover's Guide to Canine Arthritis and Joint Problems. A frequent speaker at local, national and international meetings, Dr. Beale has also lectured frequently in Europe, Asia and Latin America. He is a past president of the Veterinary Orthopedic Society, past president of the Gulf Coast Veterinary Foundation, and active in the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. Dr. Beale's current practice is devoted to the care of pets with orthopedic, musculoskeletal and arthritic disorders. He uses arthroscopy to treat many disorders of the shoulder, elbow, carpus, hip, knee and hock. Minimally-invasive techniques are used to stabilize joints and fractures, thus reducing pain, speeding recovery and improving the long term outcome of the pet. He is also a diplomate with the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, and when not practicing veterinary medicine, Dr. Beale enjoys tennis, golf and all outdoor sports. He loves to travel and meet new people around the world. GCVS is a referral-only hospital located in the Galleria area. The doctors work closely with a pet's primary care veterinarian to provide the best and most advanced veterinary care possible. GCVS specialists are available in orthopedic surgery, soft tissue and oncologic surgery, neurologic surgery, neurology, physical rehabilitation, avian and exotic medicine, physical rehabilitation, radiology, oncology, dermatology, internal medicine and critical care.
