Dr. Eric C. Lindquist
BS, DMV (Italy), Diplomate American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (Canine and Feline Practice), Cert. IVUSS., CEO of SonoPath.com

• IVUSS President 2011, 2013, 2015/16
• Veterinary Ultrasound/DX. Efficiency/Internal Medicine,
• Founder & CEO of SonoPath.com

I am a California native, veterinary trained in Europe with clinical experience in the United States and concurrently lecture and consult worldwide. My experience is in veterinary clinical sonography and surgery as a general practitioner in the states of California and Connecticut (1996-2001) and then as a specialist in New Jersey (2001- present). I founded my virtual and on-site company, SonoPath.com, in 2010 incorporating telemedicine, education, ultrasound & CT imaging and interventional procedures and sales directly and virtually worldwide. I invented and trademarked the phrases “Enhancing Diagnostic Efficiency,” “Fostering the Art of Veterinary Medicine” as well as other poignant trademarks reflecting a long and very intense career of understanding how a diagnostician and diagnostic process may be best implemented efficiently and effectively in veterinary medicine.

These catch phrases exemplify the spirit of ensuring a pet is diagnosed accurately and efficiently in order to have the best chance at survival while the owner has the best possible ability to have an informed decision with regards to their pet’s health within economically viable parameters. All SonoPath and SonoPath related entities revolve around this thought process in a game-changing fashion in the industry operating in a way that sets positive diagnostic trends with cost and time efficiency in mind. If the concept does not potentially change the playing field for the better in veterinary medicine, we do not adopt it into our operations. In this manner my team has constructed a layered thought process of efficiency and goodwill behind all that we do in the profession. I am currently working on expanding the interventional sonography techniques and combining with computed tomography (CT-US) procedures to fully amplify the diagnostic process for any given patient.
