Advanced Surgical Care, Close to Home

When your pet needs surgery, you want experienced hands, advanced technology, and a team that treats them with the same care and attention you would. We provide a broad range of pet surgeries in Orchard Park for dogs and cats, from routine procedures to complex specialty and emergency surgeries.

Our surgical team works closely with you and your pet’s primary veterinarian to develop a treatment plan based on your pet’s specific condition, health history, and needs. Throughout the process, our goal is to provide exceptional medical care while keeping you informed and your pet as comfortable as possible.

Comprehensive Surgical Services

Our surgical capabilities include procedures involving the orthopedic, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, abdominal, urogenital, thoracic, neurologic, reconstructive, oncologic, and head and neck systems, as well as minimally invasive and laparoscopic procedures. Because every case is different, your veterinarian or specialist will discuss which surgical options are appropriate for your pet.
Our veterinarians and specialty teams perform a wide range of procedures, including:

• Soft Tissue Surgery: Abdominal, gastrointestinal, urogenital, skin and reconstructive, thoracic, and head and neck procedures
• Orthopedic Surgery: Fracture repair, cruciate ligament surgery, patellar luxation, hip procedures, elbow conditions, and other orthopedic conditions
• Neurologic & Neurosurgery: Surgical treatment of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system
• Oncologic Surgery: Surgical treatment of tumors and other cancer-related conditions
• Spay & Neuter: Routine sterilization procedures performed with individualized surgical and anesthetic care
• Emergency Surgery: Evaluation, stabilization, and surgical treatment for pets experiencing urgent medical conditions
• Advanced Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring

Anesthesia is an important part of every surgical procedure. OPVMC provides advanced anesthetic care with oversight from a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist. Before anesthesia, we evaluate your pet’s overall health and may recommend diagnostic testing such as bloodwork, ECG, ultrasound, or radiographs to help identify potential risks.

During pet surgery in Orchard Park, your pet’s vital signs are continuously monitored so our team can respond quickly to changes and maintain their safety and comfort.

Laser Surgery

Laser technology allows our surgeons to perform certain procedures with exceptional precision. By cutting and sealing tissue simultaneously, surgical lasers can help reduce bleeding and minimize trauma to surrounding tissues.

Depending on the procedure, potential benefits may include less postoperative pain and swelling, improved surgical visibility, and a more comfortable recovery.

Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Surgery

For appropriate patients, laparoscopy offers a minimally invasive alternative to some traditional surgical procedures. Using a small incision and specialized instruments, our surgeons can visualize and access structures within the abdomen while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissue.

OPVMC offers laparoscopic procedures including ovariectomy, gastropexy, biopsies, and other diagnostic and surgical procedures. Smaller incisions may mean less discomfort and a smoother recovery for your pet.

Advanced Neurology & Neurosurgery

Our specialty team provides advanced diagnosis and surgical treatment for complex neurologic conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and nerves. With advanced diagnostic imaging, including onsite MRI and CT capabilities, our specialists can evaluate complicated cases and develop comprehensive treatment plans.

A Clear Plan for Every Surgery

We believe you should always understand your pet’s treatment and what to expect. Before pet surgery in Orchard Park, our veterinarians will discuss the recommended procedure, anesthesia, potential risks, recovery, and expected costs with you. A written treatment plan and estimate help ensure you have the information you need to make confident decisions about your pet’s care.

Specialty Surgery & Referrals

OPVMC accepts referrals for many complex surgical and specialty cases. Your primary care veterinarian can provide your pet’s medical records and referral information, after which our Referral Coordinator will contact you to schedule a consultation with the appropriate specialty team.

If your pet is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please seek emergency veterinary care immediately. Our critical care and specialty teams can coordinate when advanced surgical intervention is needed.
