Our History
Dr. Kenneth Bruecker (founder and president) began providing surgical specialty care in Ventura County in 1988. The addition of other specialties has allowed Veterinary Medical and Surgical Group (VMSG) to grow to a staff of 85 doctors and paraprofessionals.
Founded with a vision of providing the highest possible standard of care in veterinary medicine and surgery, the VMSG philosophy has resulted in an unparalleled level of quality and medical treatment. Our doctors and technicians provide expert medical care to ensure our patients receive the treatment and care they deserve.
In April of 2005, VMSG opened the doors to its new 16,000 square foot specialty center in Ventura, California.
