Soft Tissue Surgery

The doctors at Oakwood Veterinary Hospital have the training and experience to perform both routine, emergency, and complex surgical procedures. Below is a list of the many procedures which we offer at Oakwood both to our patients and referral patients.
You may schedule an appointment in either of two manners: a Consultation appointment or Surgical appointment. If a diagnosis is unclear, or you wish to discuss options for a specific problem before scheduling surgery, choose a Consultation appointment. If your regular veterinarian has made a diagnosis and suggests a surgical correction, you may schedule a surgical appointment where you will meet with the doctor to discuss the procedure to be performed that day. There are some cases for which our doctors may request that they perform a Consultation appointment prior to scheduling surgery. This is at the doctor's discretion on a case by case basis. Either of the appointments may require some additional diagnostics. For that reason, please do not feed your pet on the morning of the appointment. This way, if sedation or anesthesia is needed on the day of your consultation or surgical appointment, your pet is ready.
