Expert Orthopedic Surgery & ACL Repair

When mobility issues slow your pet down, orthopedic surgery can help restore their comfort, function, and quality of life. We provide expert orthopedic care, from diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions to performing advanced surgical procedures.

For pets suffering from ligament tears, fractures, or joint instability, we offer procedures such as:

ACL Repair (Cruciate Ligament Surgery)

Similar to a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in human athletes, cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) ruptures are one of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs. We offer surgical solutions like TTA (tibial tuberosity advancement) and TPLO (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy) to help restore stability and prevent long-term joint damage.

Fracture Repair

Broken bones are painful and debilitating, but with surgical intervention using plates, wires, and other orthopedic stabilization techniques, we can help your pet heal properly and regain function.

Joint Surgeries

Whether your pet has a congenital joint issue, such as hip dysplasia, or develops arthritis-related problems, we can perform corrective surgeries to improve their mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life.

We know that orthopedic concerns don’t just affect movement—they impact your pet’s ability to enjoy everyday life. Our team carefully evaluates each case to determine the best course of treatment, ensuring your pet receives the most effective and compassionate care possible. If a highly specialized procedure is required, we’ll connect you with trusted local specialists to ensure the best outcome.

Surgical Safety Every Step of the Way


Your pet’s safety is our top priority. Every surgical patient undergoes comprehensive monitoring before, during, and after their procedure. Our safety measures include:

  • Presurgical exam and bloodwork to assess your pet’s overall health and their ability to handle anesthesia
  • Advanced anesthesia and pain management to ensure your pet’s comfort during and after surgery
  • Continuous vital-sign monitoring by a dedicated veterinary technician using state-of-the-art equipment
  • Postoperative recovery and support to promote pain-free, stress-free healing

We know how important your pet is to you, and we treat them with the same level of care and attention we would want for our own.
