Surgery & Dental Care

Surgical care, tailored
to every patient.

Whether it’s a routine spay or a complex soft-tissue procedure, every patient at Riverwood receives an individualized surgical plan and a thorough pre-surgical exam.

Why we require a pre-surgical exam

Because every patient deserves personalized care, a pre-surgical exam is required before scheduling any procedure. This visit lets us assess your pet’s overall health, review medications and risk factors, and run any pre-anesthetic bloodwork needed to keep anesthesia as safe as possible.

If we determine that your pet would benefit from advanced or specialized care, we will coordinate a referral to a trusted veterinary specialist on your behalf.
