We believe in the importance of a thorough pre-surgical workup and a carefully managed postoperative recovery period. Our diverse specialty services, including radiology, clinical pathology, internal medicine, and anaesthesiology, are involved from the start to ensure your pet has a full workup. We evaluate comorbidities such as heart murmurs, liver disease, and other health problems to minimize any potential risk or complication. Our diagnostics provide a complete picture of the seriousness of the condition and your pet’s prognosis.
Postoperative care is often overseen by our care specialists, who utilize a multitude of advanced care techniques for the best possible outcomes. Additional treatment will be facilitated through your veterinarian, our internal medicine service, or our oncology service.
We also focus on abdominal or gastrointestinal surgery, treating various conditions in the spleen, liver, pancreas, adrenal glands, and other internal organs, as well as body wall hernias. Often pets will first undergo diagnostics such as ultrasound, radiographs, or endoscopy for an initial diagnosis.
Your pet’s prognosis and possible complications will be thoroughly discussed prior to proceeding with surgery. We are committed to providing the best care for your pet.
