We perform orthopedic and complex soft tissue surgeries in house, and love to teach various anesthesia protocols and gloved-in surgery tech duties as needed for these procedures. Examples of our complex procedures include TPLO surgeries, fracture repairs, gastropexies, cystotomies, perineal urethrostomies and breed specific corrective procedures such as BOAS (staphylectomy+rhinoplasty) and stellate rhytidectomy.
- Providing opportunities for volunteering and philanthropic work for animals in need.
- Giving you enough time to work at a reasonable pace to prevent burnout.
- Offering extended health and dental benefits to our staff and their families.
- Including a scrub allowance for Figs scrubs.
- Maintaining an easy-going vibe where we can joke, laugh and be ourselves.
- Fun, team-building activities and events. Be ready with your best costume for our halloween party!
- A fully-stocked pantry of snacks!
- Having a zero tolerance policy for bullying, gossip or negativity.
- Having a zero tolerance policy for disrespectful clients.
