Our Veterinary Team
Our highly skilled veterinarians are experienced in performing a broad range of surgical services, all while adhering to the strictest standards of safety and care as set forth by the American Animal Hospital Association. We utilize the most modern equipment and cutting edge technology to provide our patients with the best available surgical care. Our pain management protocols are tailored specifically to each patient, and we use only the safest available anesthetic products.
Preparing for Veterinary Surgery
Prior to any pet surgery, the doctor will thoroughly explain every aspect of the procedure and recovery so that you’ll know what to expect and will feel comfortable while your animal family member is in our care. Once surgery is complete, we’ll reach out to let you know how everything went and discuss a time for you to come retrieve your pet. Upon arrival, we’ll go over any aftercare instructions, including an appropriate pain management plan to help your pet recover comfortably. The goal is to have your companion back on his or her feet again as soon as possible.
