Small Animal Orthopedic Surgery Service

We offer a wide range of services including arthroscopic guided surgery of joints, total hip replacement for intractable hip arthritis, osteotomies for the young dog with hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament repair of the knee joint, spinal surgery for herniated disc disease and fracture repair using the latest methods of internal fixation. And, yes, we still offer "setting and casting" of broken bones. We are a full service orthopedic service offering traditional, referral and emergency appointments.

Hunter, a German Shepherd who was hit by a car, receives post-operative care following surgery to repair multiple fractures. See more information on Hunter's injuries.
