If a more specialized surgery is appropriate, we refer our clients to our board-certified veterinary surgeons in the area: Dr. Lazar and Dr. Nicholson. They both come to the clinic to assess client cases and perform surgery. While our in-house surgeons are skilled, in rare cases, additional help might be necessary. Being prepared in veterinary medicine means having every tool and professional available when needed.The world of veterinary surgery services is far more complicated than you might expect, with our surgeons training to undertake surgeries on mammals, reptiles, and avians. Their broad knowledge provides your pet with a skilled surgeon capable of handling your loved ones with care, compassion, and the highest level of competence.

Modern Surgical Equipment
Your pet will always receive the most modern care possible when you come to us. We are one of the only clinics in Loudoun County offering laser surgery. Laser surgery provides a less painful surgery as it seals nerve endings when it cuts them. As a result, your pet will experience less pain and be more comfortable post-operatively. Laser surgery also seals small blood vessels during surgery, which reduces bruising and swelling and often reduces the time your pet needs to be under anesthesia. Laser surgery is always an option for owners to choose when their pet comes in for a surgical procedure.
We also make use of non-invasive ultrasound and digital radiology imaging, which provides us with the most accurate idea of what is causing your pet’s internal health issues. These work together to provide your pet with the best tools to fix the most severe health problems. With these tools behind your pet’s care, you can trust that you’ll receive the best vet surgery outcomes we can provide.
