WHO WE ARE

Veterinary Surgery Center of Sarasota is a state-of-the-art veterinary specialty veterinary hospital located in University Park serving the Sarasota, Bradenton and Venice areas. We specialize in small animal veterinary surgery, rehabilitation and advanced imaging. At VSC, our staff is committed to providing the highest level of client services, offering individualized attention and compassionate care to all of our clients and patients. We can guarantee that together with your primary veterinarian, your pet will receive the most comprehensive care available.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Veterinary Surgery Center of Sarasota we strive to provide our patients with the highest quality medical and surgical care possible. VSC offers superior customer service for both our pet owners and their primary veterinarians. Our goal is to help our clients understand their pet’s condition. We will advocate the best possible treatment for each case but understand there may be limitations. Operating at the forefront of veterinary medicine, we offer the most current surgery techniques, medical technologies, and novel therapies. Our goal is to exceed our clients’ expectations with honesty, respect and compassion, treating each pet as if they are our own.

WHAT SETS US APART

  • Most Progressive Clinic on Florida’s West Coast.
    At VSC, our surgeons are always seeking out the most progressive approach to surgical diseases, from diagnostic tools like the Nanoscope, novel surgeries and implants, or 3D printing. The field of veterinary surgery is always changing; it is our responsibility to adapt as the science and technology continue to develop.
  • Unmatched in Services and Procedures Offered.
    VSC was started by a surgeon and day-to-day operations are overseen by a surgeon. Surgery is what we do: day in, day out. We offer more orthopedic and soft-tissue procedures than any other specialty hospital, some of which are only offered in the state at the University of Florida Veterinary School.
  • Only facility with 2 board-certified surgeons trained in small animal surgery.
    Two heads are better than one, especially in surgery. As the only facility in Sarasota with two board-certified surgeons, our team is able to improve patient care by having collaboration as well as varying opinions on challenging cases.
  • Surgery at a Human Healthcare Level.
    Many owners are not aware that veterinary surgery in specialty clinics is performed at a level comparable to human healthcare. From our dedicated sterile operating theaters, pre-surgery checklists, dedicated certified technicians monitoring anesthesia on human medicine-grade monitors and anesthetic machines, extensive use of regional nerve blocks and advanced anesthesia techniques, etc… the level of care your pet receives is not too dissimilar to what you would have in your own surgery!
  • Collaboration with other specialties (e.g. internists, radiologists, and anesthesiologists) to improve patient care in a team-based approach.
    Although we are Surgery Center and not a multi-specialty hospital, we consider surgery only part of the treatment plan for your pet. We collaborate with numerous other specialists, including other Board-certified radiologists, internists, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, and nutritionists to make sure we have covered every aspect of your pet’s care. Integration with other specialists is not always a common component of veterinary surgery; we want your pet to have access to all of the available options.
  • Leader in minimally invasive surgery on the central Florida coast.
    You will not find a veterinary hospital, from Tampa to Naples, that performs the number and variety of minimally invasive surgeries that VSC performs! Whether it is minimally invasive joint surgery, thoracoscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, fluoroscopic fracture repairs, or endoscopic surgery, we perform more procedures than our competitors and we are always looking to improve your pet’s response to surgery.
