Surgery
Advanced Critical Care's Department of Surgery uses a comprehensive approach to patient care. Our surgeons have extensive training in orthopedic, neurologic, soft tissue, and oncologic surgery, as well as microvascular surgery and minimally invasive procedures.

We utilize the latest specialized equipment and techniques, staying abreast of new innovations by regularly attending national and regional continuing education conferences and lectures. The safest anesthetic agents are used, and patients are monitored by skilled veterinary technicians throughout the anesthetic period. Post-operative care is overseen by the surgery department, including a team of doctors and staff with specialized training in critical care medicine to ensure optimal care 24 hours a day. Emphasis is placed on safety, post-operative comfort and appropriate pain management.
