Quality Pet Care

During surgery, doctors and technicians closely monitor vital signs including heartbeat, oxygen level, and blood pressure. Afterwards, pets awaken in our heated recovery area for warmth and comfort. Technicians are present during the entire recovery process to ensure patient safety.

Physical rehabilitation may be incorporated to shorten post-surgical recovery time and improve mobility. Each treatment option is presented with the same goals: to reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and maintain the highest possible quality of life.

 

WHAT IS A BOARD CERTIFIED VETERINARY SURGEON?

Board certified veterinary surgeons focus on techniques and technologies to manage complex surgical problems associated with soft tissue and orthopedic abnormalities. In addition to undergraduate training and four years of veterinary school, they complete an internship and residency in their specialized field, an additional three to five years of training. This is followed by a rigorous examination from the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. Passing this examination grants the status of Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgery (DACVS).

Board certified surgeons work together with primary care veterinarians, internists, oncologists, and other specialties to maintain animal health and provide post-operative follow-up care to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient.
