Why a Specialist Surgeon For Your Pet?

A surgeon will be able to treat complicated cases and will be able to provide an owner with state-of-the-art options. Importantly, a specialist surgeon will work closely with your local family veterinarian in providing the best care for your pet. Your family veterinarian will refer to a specialist surgeon when they feel it is appropriate. A pet may also need a surgeon after coming in through an emergency centre when a surgical procedure requiring a specialist level of treatment is indicated.

Having a range of experts working in unity under one roof, allows us to focus on delivering excellence in all aspects of your pet’s care, maximising the chance of an excellent result for you and your pet.
