State-of-the-art surgical procedures that are safe and effective.

ACL Repair

A CCL (cranial cruciate ligament) repair is one of the most common orthopedic surgeries performed in dogs. This type of tear causes instability in the knee joint, which can lead to abnormal movement and debilitating arthritis if left untreated. Count on our veterinary team to perform your dog's CCL repair and get them on the road to recovery.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is a treatment that freezes abormal tissue in pets, causing the tissue to die. It helps treat a variety of cancers, as well as conditions that are not cancers, such as skin growth, benign bone tumors, and abormal cell changes. Cryotherapy has a high success rate, and does not require anesthesia.

Advanced Anesthesia

We take anesthesia cases very seriously and utilize a safe, multi-modal approach for each animal we treat. We use a combination of pre-op assessments, modern anesthetic agents, and the latest anesthetic monitoring equipment to keep your pet safe and the risks of surgery low. Our recovering pet patients have fewer side effects, complete pain relief, and faster postoperative recovery.

Dental Surgery

Pets need regular dental checkups to ensure their oral health is in good-standing. But even with good oral hygiene and regular cleanings, your pet may require dental surgery. We administer anesthesia so we can fully access their teeth, gums, and oral tissue. Anesthesia makes it possible to perform dental procedures with less stress and pain for your pet!

Mass Removal

Masses are a common condition in pets that can range in size and cause. Mass removals typically require anesthesia, allowing us to remove the mass in question effectively and painlessly. Once the mass is removed, our veterinary team will use key diagnostic processes to diagnose your pet's mass and determine the best next steps.

Soft Tissue Surgery

Our veterinarians perform a wide range of soft tissue surgeries that involve your pet's internal organs, body wall, masses or tumors and hernias or other defects. Common veterinary soft tissue surgeries include spay/neuters, mass/tumor removals, intestinal foreign body removal, laceration and wound repair, eye surgery, and more.

Orthopedic Surgery

Our veterinarians routinely perform orthopedic surgeries, which are procedures related to your pet's bones and joints. Common orthopedic pet surgeries include bone fracture repair, cruciate ligament repair, extracapsular and TPLO techniques, leg or toe amputation, patellar luxation repair, and surgeries to treat hip dysplasia, including femoral head ostectomy (FHO).

Laser Surgery

Many of our procedures are done utilizing our surgical laser; a device that uses a beam of light at a specific wavelength. All laser surgerical procedures are done under the safest conditions; monitored by EKGs, pulse oximeters, cardiac monitors, and supported by intravenous fluid therapy. Did you know laser surgery also minimizes bleeding, pain, and infection?

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a technique in which abdominal procedures are performed through smaller incisions. The nature of this minimally invasive techqnique allows for reduced pain and a shorter recovery time for your pet when compared to traditional surgery.

Oral Surgery

There are many reasons that your pet might need oral surgery. A few common oral surgeries we perform include cleft palate surgery, soft tissue trauma repair, salivary surgery, and cheiloplasty, growth removals, and more. Rest assured that our veterinarians are equipped to handle a wide variety of oral surgeries.

TPLO Surgery

TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) surgery is a specialized procedure for pets with torn cranial cruciate ligaments. Performed by our skilled veterinarians, this operation aims to restore mobility for your furry friend. Count on us to prioritize your pet's post-operative care for a safe recovery and long-term joint health.
