Surgical Procedures Offered in Tallahassee
TPLO Surgery (ACL/CCL Repair)
We perform TPLO surgery to treat torn cruciate ligaments (ACL/CCL) in dogs. This procedure is one of our most common orthopedic offerings and helps pets return to comfortable mobility.
Luxating Patella Repair
For dogs with dislocated kneecaps (patellar luxation), we offer surgical correction to stabilize the joint and prevent long-term joint damage or arthritis.
Mass Removals (Soft Tissue & Oral)
We surgically remove benign and malignant masses on the skin, in the abdomen, or in the mouth. We work with your vet to determine if surgery is the best next step.
Foreign Body Removal
If your pet swallows a toy, bone, or other object, we perform emergency foreign body removal at your referring clinic — no need to transfer elsewhere.
Brachycephalic Airway Surgery (BOAS)
We help flat-faced breeds breathe better by correcting airway obstructions caused by stenotic nares, elongated soft palate, or everted saccules.

We offer splenectomies and other exploratory abdominal procedures, working in coordination with your primary care veterinarian on diagnosis and aftercare.

When pets present with oral tumors or complex dental needs that require surgical intervention, we perform these procedures safely at your home clinic.
