We are committed to providing pets with the very best surgical care
James Grierson our Head of Orthopaedic Surgery leads the team, with many of the clinicians certified by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the European Board of Veterinary Specialisation as Specialists in Small Animal Surgery. We are one of the few private referral centres in the UK approved to run an ECVS surgical training programme (or residency). Our residents are the equivalent of registrars in a human hospital, and they always work under the supervision of one of the Specialists.

Being a multidisciplinary centre we are particularly well set-up to manage orthopaedic trauma patients, who may have other life-threatening injuries and require the input of our medics/imagers/soft tissue surgeons as well as management of their orthopaedic injury/injuries.
It's important to have a great surgeon but it's equally important to have a great anaesthesia team and ours is led by specialist veterinary anaesthetists. Cutting edge anaesthetic techniques, drugs and equipment are used to make anaesthesia as safe as possible for our patients.

To help budget we offer fixed price fees for TPLO surgeries (for dogs with cruciate ligament ruptures) and for elbow dysplasia scans and surgery. Further details are available in the Cruciate and Elbow Dysplasia sections (links below).

“Extremely professional set up and team. Our lead was calm, informative, direct and proactive in resolving and diagnosing our pet’s symptoms. It became clear that her problems were not neurological, and I was anticipating being given an alternative appointment for the Orthopaedic team. To my relief they reviewed her case on the same day. I was contacted throughout day with updates on the progress of diagnosis and was given accurate estimates of costs of treatments being carried out during the day, which was very helpful. I cannot fault our experience. It was exceptional in every respect.”
