Surgery

Our surgery team is composed of two board-certified surgeons and seven anesthesia-trained veterinary nurses. We are dedicated to providing the best treatment options to your pet friend for a variety of surgical diseases. We see patients referred from your family veterinarian for elective procedures, as well as patients walking in with emergency conditions like hit by car, fractures, bleeding tumors, and bloat (to name a few). We invite you to browse through this page and learn how we are working with pet parents and referring veterinarians to keep our patients’ best interests in mind.
