Our Advanced Surgical Services
TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy)
When your dog suffers from a cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injury, TPLO surgery offers the gold standard in treatment. This advanced orthopedic procedure involves precisely reshaping the tibial plateau to eliminate the need for the damaged ligament, providing long-term stability and pain relief. Our surgical team has extensive experience with TPLO procedures, utilizing the latest techniques and equipment to ensure optimal outcomes and faster recovery times.
What to expect:
- Comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation and imaging
- Advanced anesthesia protocols prioritizing safety and comfort
- Precise surgical technique using state-of-the-art equipment
- Personalized post-operative care plans
- Fear FreeĀ® recovery environment
TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement)
TTA surgery is another excellent option for treating cruciate ligament injuries, particularly suited for certain anatomical configurations. This procedure involves advancing the tibial tuberosity to change the angle of the patellar ligament, eliminating the forward thrust that causes instability. Our surgeons carefully evaluate each case to determine whether TPLO or TTA is the optimal choice for your pet’s specific needs.
Benefits of our TTA approach:
- Individualized surgical planning
- Minimally invasive techniques, when possible
- Advanced pain management protocols
- Comprehensive rehabilitation guidance
- Long-term follow-up care

Our soft-tissue surgical capabilities extend far beyond routine procedures. In our new facility, we perform complex surgeries involving the abdomen, chest, and other internal systems with precision and care. From intricate tumor removals to emergency surgeries, our team is equipped to handle the most challenging cases.
Our soft-tissue specialties include:
- Complex abdominal surgeries
- Thoracic procedures
