William B. Henry

DVM, DACVS

Dr. Henry was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. From a very young age, he knew he wanted to be a veterinarian. Upon completion of his residency training requirement, he passed his specialty board examination which required specialty credentials and expertise in the diagnosis and management of surgical disease. At the time, he was one of two veterinarians outside of a university/teaching hospital to accomplish this goal.

With decades of experience in surgical care, teaching, research, and leadership, Dr. Henry was one of the country’s most prominent veterinary surgical specialists while practicing, and remains to be an important figure in the veterinary community. He has worked with referring veterinarians and pet owners in New England for over 50 years.

While skilled and experienced with virtually all aspects of veterinary surgical care, Dr. Henry’s primary interests and areas of expertise included the diagnosis, medical management and surgical treatment of lameness, management of hip dysplasia, spinal disease, ear disease, complicated fracture care and knee joint injuries.

Although Dr. Henry no longer practices, he remains a vital member of BVS’s senior leadership team as a visionary and a key resource in networking with the veterinary community.
