Onward Veterinary Surgery was founded in 2023 and brings our surgical expertise and experience to your family veterinarian’s surgical suite. We work with your family’s veterinarian to offer preoperative diagnostics, select surgical services, and post-operative follow up management. We hope that offering specialty surgical services to clients in their local veterinary clinics will minimize the concerns associated with surgery, time to appointment for clients, and costs.

What is a Board-Certified Veterinary Surgeon?
A veterinary surgeon has undergone additional training after veterinary school. This training meets specific guidelines established by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and typically includes multiple years of internships and residency.
While all veterinarians can perform surgery as part of their veterinary practice, board-certified veterinary surgeons use their additional training to complete more specialized, difficult, or complicated surgical procedures, such as orthopedic surgery. Access to specialty equipment and experience provides the ability to offer these more advanced procedures and assisting with post-operative management.
