Our Hospital

• The Most Progressive Surgery Center in the Region

At VSC, our surgeons always have an eye on the horizon for new techniques, procedures, and treatment options. The field of veterinary surgery is always changing; it is our responsibility to adapt as science and technology 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, many of which are only offered in the state at the University of Florida Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

• Only Facility with 2 Board-Certified Veterinary Surgeons in Sarasota-Manatee Counties

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 offering collaboration and cooperation between our surgeons for unique and complicated cases. Medicine and surgery are improved by the exchange of ideas and techniques.

• Surgery at a Human Healthcare Level

Many owners are not aware of the level to which veterinary surgery is performed at specialty veterinary hospitals. 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 surgery your pet receives is not too dissimilar to what you might receive at a surgery center or hospital.

• Collaboration with Other Veterinary Specialties to Improve Patient Care

Although we are a 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 neurologists, radiologists, internists, anesthesiologists, and cardiologists to make sure we have covered every aspect of your pet’s care. This might seem like a given, but integration is not a common component of surgery performed by all veterinarians (even within some specialty clinics).

• Leader in Minimally Invasive Surgery on the Central Florida Coast

You will not find a veterinary facility, from Tampa to Naples that performs as many minimally invasive surgeries as VSC performs or the same variety! Whether it is minimally-invasive joint surgery, thoracoscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, fluoroscopic fracture repairs, or endoscopic surgery, we perform more procedures than our competitors! We are always looking to improve your pet’s response to surgery while minimizing their pain and stress.
