Thoughtful surgical care,
when it’s actually needed.
Routine and soft-tissue surgical procedures performed in our clinic with modern anesthesia monitoring, multimodal pain management, and a written estimate before any work begins.
What we perform in-house
Most procedures are scheduled in advance after a consultation and pre-anesthetic bloodwork.
Mass removals
Skin lumps, lipomas, and small soft-tissue masses, with biopsy and histopathology when indicated.
Dental extractions
Single-tooth and full-mouth extractions performed during dental cleanings under full anesthesia and monitoring.
Spay & neuter
Routine spays and neuters for dogs and cats with multimodal pain control and same-day discharge.
Wound repair
Laceration repair, bite-wound closure, and abscess drainage.
Cystotomy & bladder stones
Surgical removal of bladder stones, with imaging and stone analysis to guide long-term prevention.
Skin biopsies
Punch and wedge biopsies of suspicious lesions, with full pathology workup.
What we refer out
Some surgeries are better performed by a board-certified surgical specialist. When that’s the case, we’ll tell you directly and refer you to a trusted specialist in Los Angeles.
- Neurosurgery and complex spinal cases
- Thoracic surgery and complex oncology cases
- Surgery that requires overnight hospitalization for critical care
- Major fracture repair and bone pins
Knowing what not to do in-house is part of being a good clinic. Your pet gets the right care, even when the right care happens somewhere else.
Surgery day
Drop-off in the morning, pre-anesthetic bloodwork same day if not done in advance, full anesthesia monitoring, dedicated recovery care, and a phone call from the team before pickup. Most patients go home the same evening with a clear written aftercare plan.
