I had an overweight pyranees with complete bilateral CCL tears - my vet , Dr. Moses consulted TVSS for surgery . I’ll be honest / they didn’t recommend me doing the surgeries at the same time (due to her size and weight and how hard the recovery would be for everyone) but we elected to do it all together for the sake of getting her back on her feet quicker . We followed the guidelines to the letter , she’s lost 20lbs in 9 weeks , and is now almost completely healed and functional . I can’t say enough about their honestly , transparency , expectations, and now we get to enjoy the outcome of our 2year old girl enjoying life again

We had a wonderful experience with TVSS and Dr. Goodin. Communication was great, and the surgery went off without a hitch and much faster than expected. This was a TPLO surgery for our 12 year old boxer mix, and I had a ton of anxiety. Everything was explained thoroughly before and after, and all of my questions and concerns about recovery were addressed perfectly.

We have a pup who we recently found out needs surgery on one of his legs. I was calling around to different facilities to get estimates and happened to get in touch with Dr. Nunley, who was the surgeon our clinic would have used and already saw the x-rays. He was so helpful in answering my questions and explaining why there might be a range in price. Ultimately, we decided to use a different clinic because we couldn't swing the cost of a board-certified surgeon (even though I'm confident his rates are competitive) over a DVM (note to readers: get pet insurance...). But I appreciated his time and willingness to engage in a conversation with an overwhelmed pet parent.

Their surgeon came to my dog’s usual vet (Banfield) to perform her TPLO surgery, which is an 8 week recovery, and it was like nothing happened just halfway through. They explained everything to me so well and answered my follow up questions and just did a WONDERFUL job. My girl is like new again!! We are so grateful!!
