Laser Surgery

We are pleased to offer laser surgery as an exciting new option for safe, comfortable treatment. In many procedures, the laser can replace the scalpel and provide a better alternative to traditional surgery.

Why Laser Surgery?

Less Pain - The laser seals nerve endings as it "cuts", so your pet may require less anesthesia during the operation, reducing the risk of complications. Pain after surgery is also reduced.
Less Bleeding - The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery.
Less swelling - Laser surgery does not crush, tear or bruise because there is no physical contact with the tissue.

What Does This Mean For My Pet?

Reduced risk of infection - The laser sterilizes as it removes diseased tissue, killing bacteria that causes infection.
Precision - The laser can remove unhealthy tissue without affecting or removing surrounding healthy tissue.
Quick return to normal activities - Healing is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort.
Laser procedures reduce the trauma - Lasers, improve healing, and may shorten time spent here.

Are Lasers New?
Laser technology has been proven to work for more than 20 years - medical doctors have used lasers to help many thousands of people and we are pleased to be among the first veterinary practices to offer laser surgery specifically for animals.

What Types Of Procedures Can a Laser Perform
A laser is ideal for a wide variety of surgical procedures for dogs, cats and other animals. Laser surgery can correct many common conditions such as cysts, tumors, warts, and infections that may occur around the eyes, ears, in the mouth, and anywhere on the skin. Specialized internal procedures are also possible.
