Advanced Surgical Services

New medical innovations have made specialty veterinary surgery more accessible than ever. With Dr. Toni Kwan and her team, we can provide high quality, specialty surgery and advanced pain management in our hospital while still having the time to see our regular patients.  Support is provided before, during, and after surgery to facilitate the best options and recovery for all patients. She believes there is a need to provide specialty surgery for all of our animal friends, and the advanced medicine and equipment innovations are making that feasible without compromising the quality of care. We are excited to offer these services!
