Surgery
At Cherry Knolls Veterinary Clinic, we are experienced in performing a variety of soft tissue and some orthopedic surgeries. During every surgery we offer excellent patient monitoring and support in a surgically sterile environment. We utilize mobile board-certified surgeons to perform more complicated or advanced surgeries here at the clinic so your pet stays where they are comfortable.

Orthopedic Surgery
Cherry Knolls Veterinary Clinic does offer some orthopedic surgeries but we also use in-house specialists. Not only do we see fewer fractures than in past years, thanks mostly to leash laws, but there are now numerous specialists with expertise and equipment far exceeding what we could provide you. Consequently, when your pet needs an orthopedic procedure, in some cases we will offer referral to one of our in-house specialist.
Specialist Referrals
For advanced or highly specialized procedures, we collaborate with a network of trusted board-certified specialists. From orthopedic repair to complex internal medicine cases, we coordinate every step of your pet’s referral so care remains seamless and connected.
