Veterinary team in surgery

Our veterinarians are skilled in a variety of surgeries from a routine lump removal to a complicated knee surgery. We have over 100 years of surgical experience combined and always look for ways to improve through continuing education. We only recommend surgery when necessary, so we correctly diagnose your pet before choosing the surgical path. During surgery, our patients are monitored by our certified veterinary technicians and veterinarians using state of the art equipment to ensure all vital signs are at normal levels. We use CUTs and EKGs during the procedures. If your pet requires extremely complicated surgery, like brain surgery, we can recommend the best specialist available. Both of our locations are capable of performing surgery during our regular hours.
