  • Do you thrive on collaboration with fellow vets and working as a team?
  • Do you have good theatre facilities and a high standard of post-op care?

  • The skill and experience to tackle your advanced surgical needs
  • The specialized surgical equipment and implants required, particularly for orthopedic procedures
  • Follow-up advice and support for any cases operated on
  • It comes at a price that lower to middle income owners can more easily afford, leading to fewer euthanasias and sub-optimal treatments.
  • It broadens the services that your practice is able to offer in-house, without you personally having to tackle the steep learning curve and large capital outlay for specialised equipment and stock.
  • It generates more revenue for you, as the charges for the anaesthetic, post-op recovery period, discharge medication and follow ups are handled solely by your practice.
  • It negates the risk of your clients choosing to go elsewhere permanently following referral.

Cost estimates can be obtained per procedure.

Costs are composed of:

  • Surgical time
  • Implants and equipment
  • Sets and consumables
  • Travel fee
  • Initial consult and diagnostics
  • Anesthetic drugs and procedures
  • Pre-op preparation and fixed theatre facilities
  • Post-op care including hospitalization, discharge medication and follow up examinations

I have 9 years of surgical experience, 4 of those years in orthopedics. I have successfully performed over 40 hemilaminectomies, over 30 TTA/TPLOs and fixed over 50 fractures, in naming just a few procedures.
