Our practice is a dedicated referral-only centre in an aesthetically charming rural location with loads of parking. One of the reasons for choosing this location was its intrinsic air of tranquility which may help ameliorate difficult emotions for both owner and animal. After all, coming to the vets isn’t something any owner or any animal would do if they had another choice.
We now have seven veterinarians dedicated exclusively to referrals in orthopaedics and neurosurgery who are assisted by an extensive support team. We place great emphasis on the importance of communication. Clients are always contacted on the day of intervention and a written report is also sent to the primary care clinician in a timely manner to ensure that they are well informed of any relevant details regarding their important contribution to your friends continuing care. We continue to liaise with our clients regularly in the period surrounding surgery to ensure that they feel supported and not alone in caring for their poorly companion.
We have twice in the past three years been awarded the “Best Clinical Research of the Year” accolade by the American Veterinary Orthopaedic Society and last year cooperated with The University of Wisconsin to win the “Best Scientific Paper” accolade. We intend to keep our practice at the forefront of clinical and surgical acumen with a dedicated program of training and association with universities both in the UK and the USA. We are determined to achieve results for your animal friends at the highest level and to provide cutting edge surgical and diagnostic techniques and equipment. We regularly receive visits from some of the foremost surgeons in the world, which helps to ensure that we are offering treatment of the highest level.
We have at our new centre the Eklin™ direct digital radiography system. Within a few seconds of taking a radiograph, an image of impressive clarity appears on a monitor. This increases the sensitivity of our diagnostics allowing us to answer your questions quickly and accurately. This is the first system of its kind dedicated to small animals in the UK and allows us to rapidly provide superlative images as part of our drive to set a new benchmark for the gold standard of care.
We also offer MRI and CT imaging on a routine basis and these imaging modalities provide us with information which was previously not available. High-quality advanced diagnostic imaging assists us toward rapid resolution of debilitating conditions and facilitates early diagnosis, minimizing patient trauma and optimizing recovery.
We offer free telephonic radiographic interpretation to primary care clinicians and we are happy have an informal chat about a case at any time.
We have recently opened phase two of our new buildings, which is a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy and physical therapy centre in Eashing, near Godalming. We believe that all patients should be offered a tripartite approach to their problem – good clinical judgement, good surgery and good rehabilitation. All of our staff are specifically trained in physical and hydrotherapy and our rehabilitation centre is one of the best ever built in the UK.
As part of our end-to-end service objectives, we now offer a home boarding service as an adjunct to our in-patient kenneling and treatment protocols. We are aware the requirements for care after certain procedures can be challenging to fit into your already hectic lives and one of our nursing staff will happily take care of any patient in our new centre with dedicated comfortable kenneling and round-the-clock monitoring when owners have difficulty coping. This is a common challenge with complex spinal and trauma cases and this unique service allows us to provide an integrated pain-management, nursing and rehabilitation program postoperatively and to support you and your pet during this difficult time.
We are here to support you and we could not exist without you, so we will leave no stone unturned in our endeavor to help our referring clinicians, their clients and our animal friends.
