Our Lillee had TPLO surgery just a year ago, just after she turned 5. Dr. Collins and her team were amazing! She took her time to explain everything so we had a complete understanding of not only the surgery but the recovery process as well, so we get the best outcome. She assured us we were getting the best of care. Her team was patient and very professional! Lillee recovered completely and runs around like a puppy! She recently had another injury to her opposite knee and we're hopeful Dr Collins and her team can help us get Lillee back on all four as quickly as possible!

Our 5 year old lab, Misha, had TPLO on both knees and the care she received here was top notch. Dr. Collins is very knowledgeable and made us feel confident in this procedure and caring for Misha as she recovered. I will say, recovery is rough. But Dr. Collins and her staff were always available when we had questions or concerns about her care. I cannot recommend Dr. Collins and her team at Veterinary Surgical Services enough. We are about 12 months post-op and Misha runs around and plays like she was never injured at all.

Dr. Collins is a fantastic surgeon. She did a beautiful job removing a large thyroid tumor from my 12 yo Springer-poodle, he's a happy boy, 2 weeks out! Great teamwork with her staff, whose follow up was much appreciated, and with our primary vet, Dr. Orr. Wonderful people-Thank you!
