Surgical Services
We have three board-certified surgeons who can perform a variety of orthopedic, soft tissue and neurological procedures. These include: Total Hip Replacement (THR), Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO), fracture repair and limb alignment/lengthening, cancer surgery, plastic surgery, abdominal and thoracic procedures, disc prolapse and other spinal procedures. Our team of technicians monitor each patient throughout the procedure and during recovery and we have 24-hour monitoring in our Critical Care Unit (CCU) if needed.
To minimize and control your pet’s stress and pain around the time of surgery we use multiple pain control modalities. Decreasing pain and stress leads to improved outcomes and more speedy recoveries. We are able to offer minimally invasive surgical procedures such as arthroscopy, laparoscopy and thoracoscopy.
What is a Board Certified Surgeon?
"The term "ACVS Diplomate" refers to a veterinarian who has been board certified in veterinary surgery. Only veterinarians who have successfully completed the certification requirements of the ACVS are Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and have earned the right to be called specialists in veterinary surgery.
Veterinarians wishing to become board certified must complete a minimum of a three-year residency program, meet specific training and caseload requirements, perform research and have their research published. This process is supervised by current ACVS Diplomates, ensuring consistency in training and adherence to high standards. Once the residency has been completed, the resident must sit for and pass a rigorous examination. Only then does the veterinarian earn the title of ACVS Diplomate."
