ABOUT INFINITY VETERINARY IMAGING
OUR STORY
Infinity Veterinary Imaging was born out of a desire to serve people by providing advanced diagnostic imaging services for pets. Our current caseload consists primarily of small companion animals to include occasional exotic pets. Expansion into large animal medicine is anticipated in the future. No challenge is considered too great.
Founded in September 2017, we are excited to call Nashville home and to be a part of this growing city.
