We perform a huge range of procedures, from routine orthopaedics to emergency surgeries, laparoscopic and arthroscopic procedures, spinal surgery, and so much more. The surgery team works very closely with our other Specialities to provide coordinated, comprehensive care.

We are very fortunate to be partnered with Northside Emergency Veterinary Services (NEVS) who operate within the same building outside of business hours and take care of our patients so we can go home and be re-energised for our next shift.
