Soft-Tissue Surgery
We provide a full suite of surgical services for your pet. We know that there can be uneasy feelings about your pet going under anesthesia but we take pride in the care that we provide and we tailor the latest in anesthetic monitoring, surgical techniques, and pain management to each patient. We strive to keep you and your pet comfortable and will address any specific concerns you may have.
