Surgery

Advances in veterinary medicine and veterinary surgery have been keeping close pace with those in human medicine and surgery. Over the last two decades medical technology and techniques have advanced rapidly, making this an increasingly specialized field. A board certified veterinary surgeon possesses the experience, training and expertise to manage complex surgical procedures. Surgeons within the Ethos network have access to advanced diagnostic modalities and surgical equipment.

Your veterinarian may recommend consulting with our board certified surgery specialist for a variety of orthopedic concerns such as cruciate ligament injuries, complex fracture repairs, knee replacements, or intervertebral disc problems (neck, back, lumbar). Premier Veterinary Group’s board certified surgeons at each of our hospitals in Illinois have the expertise to successfully handle your pet’s veterinary surgery. Every surgery suite is fully equipped with the latest surgical monitoring and anesthetic equipment.

At Premier, we recognize the value of collaboration with you, your regular veterinarian, and our staff as a comprehensive team for your pet’s care.
