We provide thorough pre-surgical evaluations, individualized post-operative care, and rehabilitation guidance to support a smooth recovery. If your dog is experiencing lameness or knee discomfort, contact us to learn more about TPLO surgery and schedule a consultation.
Meet Itzli, our strong little Chihuahua mix! His owner came to us for a second opinion on patellar luxation surgery and concerns about lameness in his right hind leg. Previously diagnosed with patellar luxation in both knees, Itzli had been on pain medication and had a history of seizures. After a thorough examination, Dr. Lee confirmed the need for Bilateral MPL (Medial Patellar Luxation) Correction and also diagnosed a cranial cruciate ligament injury, recommending Right TPLO surgery for the best outcome. The surgery went smoothly, and now Itzli is on the road to recovery! Wishing him a future full of happy, pain-free steps!
