David Bessler

Chief Executive Officer, Veterinary Emergency Group

Founder of Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) and member of the SignalPET Medical Advisory Board, Dr. David Bessler is a long-time veterinarian with experience in many specialty animal hospitals. He also spent time as a wildlife and nature educator for children, cared for reptiles at the Bronx Zoo, and taught “Introduction to Veterinary Medicine” courses to elementary school children at the American Museum of Natural History. Dr. Bessler had a vision to revolutionize emergency veterinary medicine, where it focused on client and patient experience. In 2014, he purchased the first VEG hospital, which allowed him to bring his vision to life. Dr. Bessler is passionate about helping people and especially loves helping children discover the same sense of wonder he feels every day. SignalPET is used in all VEG locations, and increases the timeliness that radiographs are read, ideal for the emergency setting.
