Surgical Services and Treatment

At Mars Hill Animal Hospital, we offer a full range of surgical services, including most soft tissue and orthopedic procedures. We believe that safety and pain management is not optional for our pet patients any more than it would be for human patients. Therefore, we have established a very strict protocol for all surgical patients. Pre-anesthetic lab work, IV Fluids, and Pain Control are standard for all surgical patients. Our surgical suite is equipped with a ventilator, a gas anesthetic machine, and state of the monitors that continuously monitor blood pressure, heart rate and rhythm, and oxygen levels of the tissues. Most importantly, your special companion is monitored constantly by a trained veterinary technician while under anesthesia.

We do all this to help ensure a positive outcome for both you and your pet.

If you think your pet may need surgery, schedule a consultation with one of our doctors today.

  My family and I have taken ALL of our pets here for over 16 years. The staff is amazing, always friendly and helpful. They will treat your pets like they are their own and will do whatever it takes to get your pet healthy. Dr. Gross has always provided exceptional care and is gentle, kind, and explains things very clearly. Can't say enough good things about Mars Hill!

  The veterinarians at Mars Hill Animal Hospital are the very best. They, and their staff, have provided excellent care to our three dogs over the past several years. We would not go anywhere else.

  From the initial phone call to make our first appointment to the process of our dog's surgical spay and follow up, we knew we were in good hands. We received follow up phone calls and assistance with unloading our large dog for follow up. We were offered drinks and kept comfortable while our dog having procedures done. The office is huge and very clean, absolutely no animal smells at all. Going there feels like going home. Tomorrow we take our cat for his first visit there and will be taking our dog back for her final recheck from her surgery! I'm excited to see how our cat will behave in the car with the dog? Whatever happens, I know our animals are in great hands with Mars Hill Animal Hospital!

  Compassionate care and prices that don't frighten me. 😄 I can tell they love the animals here and even MY dog isn't afraid when I have to bring him to the doc. I'm definitely a customer for life.
