ERNIE G. METH, M.D.

Dr. Meth started Temecula Valley Nuclear Medicine (TVNM) in the fall of 1991. The goal was and continues to be to provide the Temecula / Murrieta / Menifee Valley with the best, most innovative Nuclear Medicine experience for our patients. During TVNM's more than 30 years of service to the Valley we introduced S.P.E.C.T. imaging (Nuclear CT), PET Scanning, innovative Nuclear therapeutics, all in a warm, friendly, welcoming environment. We are grateful to the confidence the community has extended to us and look forward to working with you.
