Excellent surgeon and after care. My dog had his CCL in his right knee repaired. The initial consult was scheduled quickly and the surgery to follow. The incision was small, he healed fine and according to the schedule they predicted, and it even came in hundreds of dollars under their initial estimate. My only issue was that they were perhaps too cautious - detected a bit of heart murmur and had me take my dog to a veterinary cardiologist 70 miles away to have his heart examined. Half a day, 140 miles driven and $600 later we now knew he had a typical 8yo spaniel's heart. Given how many 8yo spaniels VSA has treated I would have thought that was something they might have known about and saved me the time/trouble/money - it is a known but minimal risk. Poor guy is limping on the left leg now, so I will be a repeat customer very soon :-(

These folks have been great. My dog had surgery at VSA for a wounded leg. I've met most of the vets because my dog needed many visits during her recovery; the care has been good and everyone is pleasant. Expensive, but no different than anywhere else.

I have a dog who was born with an ectopic ureter which causes incontinence and the surgical success rate is only ~50%. Thanks to the skilled surgeon at VSA, she is 100% cured. Yes they are expensive, but so are all reputable surgical practices. Based on my experience, I highly recommend them. I found everyone who works there to be pleasant and accomodating.

I brought my big old beautiful dog to this place. They failed in all respects. I asked for a biopsy and to check whether he had paralysis in his throat. They told me to expect to pay 800 $ but when I came back the check was 1800 $. No paralysis and no cancer! I was anyway happy. But the dot was not ok. We decided to remove the big mass that he had in his neck. Only after surgery (4000 $ !!!) I was told that it was inded cancer and that, yes, he had paralysis!! Having cut the tissues carelessly, the cancer had spread all over his body! Moreover, all the after care was not included in the 4000 $ ! The oncologist was a complete jerk. We put him into chimotherapy and my poor dog died 10 days later as a result of an inadequate dose of the chimo drug (and 2000 $). I try to forget the place and all what happened, but it is just too hard. These people where so cold, so focused towards money, and so unprofessional...
