Providing Veterinary Emergency Care in Albuquerque, NM
At Thrive Pet Healthcare Specialists Albuquerque, we provide emergency care to dogs and cats in the greater Albuquerque area. Our specialty services include dermatology, neurology, behavioral medicine, acupuncture, and emergency care.
We are a state-of-the-art veterinary hospital that provides emergency care for injured and sick dogs and cats as well as specialty medical and surgical treatment by skilled doctors on a referral basis. Thrive Pet Healthcare Specialists has doctors highly trained in critical care, dermatology, neurology, and animal behavior.
As pet parents, we dread the thought of our fur-children ever getting sick enough to require emergency care. Unfortunately, accidents and illnesses do occur, so our exceptional emergency care teams are here to help in your time of need.
Dermatology is a field within veterinary medicine that focuses on the treatment or management of conditions relating to a pet’s skin, ear, hair, and claws.
As the largest organ in cats and dogs, there is no surprise that skin-related visits are some of the most common appointments at primary care clinics. From allergies to infections, the list of potential dermatological problems in pets is extensive. Skin-related symptoms can also be a sign of an underlying internal condition.
Thankfully, most dermatological conditions in pets can be fully cured or well managed given that you seek help early, regularly meet with a veterinarian, and follow your pet’s recommended treatment plan at home.
Any damage to a pet's nervous system can lead to serious long-term consequences if they are not tended to rapidly by skilled professionals. Due to the complex nature of the brain and spine, Primary and Emergency Care veterinarians often work closely with a board-certified neurologist. The neurologist provides advanced care and attention necessary to treat or manage a pet’s neurological condition appropriately.
Surgery covers a vast sub-sect of veterinary medicine, from routine spay and neuter to complex orthopedic and soft tissue procedures. Within our Thrive Pet Healthcare network, you can access surgical services on both the primary care and specialty level so whatever your pet’s surgical needs, our trusted veterinarians and surgical specialists are here for you.

Dr. Brofman is board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine in both neurology and internal medicine specialties. He has extensive experience in all aspects of both surgical and medical neurology with a particular interest in spinal trauma and surgery, yet he still enjoys using his knowledge of internal medicine to help him approach cases with a broader perspective. Dr. Brofman’s practice philosophy focuses on the quality of life for both his patients and their family.
Dr. Brofman routinely provides continuing education lectures for veterinarians, technicians, and pet owners locally and out of state. He is currently the National Director of Neurology for Thrive Pet Healthcare and is very active in the neurology and veterinary communities. He has been:

DVM, Neurology Department
Dr. Stallings is originally from California and attended the University of California, Davis for both her undergraduate education in Animal Science as well as her veterinary education. She graduated with her DVM from UC Davis in 2015. She then embarked on one of several cross-country moves over the next several years, starting out in Columbia, Missouri for a rotating internship at the University of Missouri. This was followed by neurology specialty internships at SAGE Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Centers in the San Francisco Bay area as well as Bush Veterinary Neurology Service in Richmond, Virginia. Finally, she ended up in New Mexico in 2018 for her Neurology and Neurosurgery residency at the Animal Neurology and Imaging Center (ANIC) a standalone Neurology specialty practice in Algodones.
At the end of 2021, the ANIC team moved to Albuquerque to be part of a larger specialty practice as Thrive Pet Healthcare Specialists where she has stayed after completing her residency training. She enjoys all aspects of Neurology and Neurosurgery, but especially the relief that comes from helping pets and their families through difficult situations ranging from seizure management to helping to return mobility to a paralyzed pet. When not in the clinic, Dr. Stallings enjoys traveling as well as exploring new local museums and restaurants with her husband. Other hobbies include reading, playing board games, watching football and hockey, and spending time with her four-legged family which includes her two dogs and cat.
