Orthopaedic Services
Whether you are a pet owner looking for the best possible specialists to carry out expert treatment on your pet, or a veterinary practice seeking the best referral practice for your clients, we are here to help.
Overview
Our practice in South Cambridgeshire is run by experienced and qualified small animal veterinary orthopaedic surgeons who have worked in some of the busiest veterinary hospitals in the UK. We are one of only a very small number of specialist-led small animal orthopaedic only veterinary referral clinics in the UK, so we focus all our time on orthopaedics, meaning your client’s pet will receive dedicated care and access to the very latest diagnostic and treatment options.
With our philosophy based on providing comprehensive, expert and independent care, we:
- Give you and your clients quality veterinary orthopaedic expertise, covering all aspects of orthopaedics; from lameness investigation to routine elective surgery and advanced procedures, including limb deformity treatment and total joint replacement.
- Have a purpose-built hospital in South Cambridgeshire, complete with a DR radiography suite and on-site CT scanner allowing for rapid, accurate diagnoses of orthopaedic problems.
- Have an extensive range of orthopaedic equipment and implants to manage all situations, and the experience to optimise the outcome for our patients.
- Are happy to accept referrals for all elective orthopaedic investigations and procedures as well as stable trauma cases for the management of their orthopaedic injuries.
- Are available by phone or email to support you with your orthopaedic cases. We understand that orthopaedics can be a challenging discipline, and we are happy to assist in the management of complications, should the need arise.
- Give fixed prices for routine cases – this includes treatment from the consultation, investigation, surgery and routine postoperative medication. Re-examination and follow-up x-rays are charged in addition. This transparency provides peace of mind so that your clients can focus on their much-loved pet getting better, instead of worrying about rising bills.
