SERVICES
The Veterinary Surgicenter is a locally owned, surgery-focused veterinary care facility offering exceptional anesthetic and surgical care to the pets in our community at an accessible price. We provide surgical treatment options for soft tissue and orthopedic conditions with an emphasis on safe and effective anesthesia and pain management. The VSC surgical care team is made up of boarded specialists, experienced surgery-passionate general practitioners, and specialized animal care nurses with over 70 years of combined experience. Our patient-centered approach relies on problem solving, practical experience, evidence-based medicine, and strong communication between the veterinary care teams and pet owners to tailor a surgical treatment plan that meets their specific needs and budget.
The Veterinary Surgicenter offers a wide variety of general and specialty level surgical procedures to the pets in the community. Our focus is on providing safe, effective anesthesia and surgical therapies for soft tissue, orthopedic, and dental disease. We maximize the use of local anesthesia and nerve blocks to minimize patient discomfort and decrease the doses required for general anesthesia, making anesthesia safer and recovery smoother for our patients and their families.
We understand how stressful it can be having a pet that requires surgery and we strive to reduce that stress each step of the way for you and your pet. We offer an easy scheduling process, comfortable exam rooms, stress-reducing medications, and thoughtful patient handling to keep stress to a minimum. Schedule a surgical consultation with our team to discuss and understand the treatment options available for your pet to create a personalized patient care plan.
