Cummings Veterinary Hospital provides soft tissue, dental, and basic orthopedic surgery services, as well as referrals for procedures as required.
For many of our clients, the thought of their pet undergoing surgery produces anxiety. Many owners feel the biggest risk posed is anesthesia. However, today’s anesthetic agents are so much safer than older protocols. This, combined with our veterinarians’ skills and exacting standards for care, ensures a safe surgical outcome for your pet. We are proud of our surgical suite, skills, and reputation.
