Why Choose DoveLewis Surgery?
Board-certified Surgeons 24/7
Our board-certified surgeons are among the most experienced in the country, treating a high volume of emergency, orthopedic, soft tissue, and oncologic cases each year. While many veterinarians perform routine surgical procedures, board-certified veterinary surgeons complete years of advanced specialty training beyond veterinary school. To earn board certification, surgeons must complete:
- A one-year clinical internship
- A three-year surgical residency
- Extensive case-based training
- Rigorous specialty board examinations
This advanced training prepares them to manage complex conditions, reduce surgical risk, and deliver better outcomes, especially in challenging or high-risk cases.
