Surgery
The surgical team at Four Seasons Animal Hospital offers a wide range of services that include orthopedic procedures such as spinal surgeries and fracture and joint repair, as well as soft tissue and thoracic procedures, vascular surgery, oncologic surgery and advanced repair of traumatic injuries. Our surgical specialists see appointments and perform procedures during the day but are also available so that emergency patients seen at any hour have access to their advanced skill and knowledge. Our team of surgeons, nurses and assistants are dedicated to helping when you and your pet are in need of the skilled hands of an experienced, knowledgeable surgeon.

Our surgeons are also experienced in assessing pain in patients that cannot talk.  Our doctors and staff are vigilant in monitoring your pet pre- and post-operatively and, with gentle nursing care and powerful analgesic medication, they are able to ensure the most pain-free experience possible. In addition, our surgical department is fully unified and integrated with Internal Medicine, Emergency Services, Critical Care and the General Practice so that the experience and expertise of all our staff is available to your pet at all times.
