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

Orthopedic Surgery

Our veterinarians perform orthopedic surgeries to address conditions affecting your pet’s bones, joints, and ligaments. These procedures may be recommended to treat injuries such as fractures, ligament tears, joint instability, or certain developmental conditions. After a thorough examination and diagnostic evaluation, we will determine the most appropriate surgical plan to restore function, relieve pain, and support your pet’s recovery.

TPLO Surgery

TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) is a surgical procedure used to treat cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears in dogs. This procedure stabilizes the knee joint to improve function and reduce pain associated with ligament injury. Our veterinary team carefully evaluates each patient to determine whether TPLO is the most appropriate treatment option and provides comprehensive post-operative care to support a safe recovery and long-term joint health.

CCL 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 arthritis if left untreated. Count on our veterinary team to perform your dog's CCL repair and get them on the road to recovery.

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 Arrow right icon

Even with routine dental care, some pets may require dental surgery to address advanced periodontal disease, fractured teeth, oral masses, or other conditions affecting the mouth. Dental procedures are performed under general anesthesia, which allows for a thorough examination and safe, precise treatment.

Mass Removal Arrow right icon

Lumps and masses are common in pets and can vary widely in cause and significance. Surgical removal is often recommended when a mass is growing, causing discomfort, or requires definitive diagnosis. Procedures are performed under general anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. After removal, the tissue is typically submitted for analysis to determine the type of mass and guide any further treatment recommendations.

Soft Tissue Surgery Arrow right icon

Our veterinarians perform a variety of soft tissue surgical procedures involving the skin, body wall, and internal organs. These surgeries may be recommended to address conditions such as masses, foreign bodies, wounds, hernias, or other medical concerns. After a thorough evaluation, we will determine the most appropriate surgical plan for your pet and discuss whether the procedure can be performed in our hospital or if referral is recommended.

Laparoscopic Surgery Arrow right icon

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that allows certain procedures to be performed through small incisions using specialized instruments and a camera. This approach typically results in less tissue trauma, reduced discomfort, and a faster recovery compared to traditional surgery. Your veterinarian will determine whether laparoscopic surgery is an appropriate option based on your pet’s condition and the procedure required.

Oral Surgery Arrow right icon

Oral surgery may be recommended to address conditions affecting your pet’s teeth, gums, jaw, or surrounding tissues. After a thorough examination and appropriate diagnostics, our team will determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your pet’s specific condition. While many procedures can be performed in our hospital, certain complex cases may require referral to a board-certified veterinary dental specialist to ensure the highest level of care.
