We Associate with Veterinary Specialists in Advanced Pet Surgery
Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic is excited to offer your pet the most advanced surgical techniques and technology. Though all veterinarians are educated in general surgery and many are proficient at advanced techniques, some surgeries require the services of a board-certified surgeon. Because of that, we have several board-certified surgeons who work with us on staff and as independent contractors. These board-certified veterinary surgeons are able to perform many different types of procedures your pet might need, including:
- Complicated soft-tissue procedures for heart, lung, liver, kidney, and other organs
- Neurological surgery for spinal cord, nerve, or muscle problems
- Orthopedics to repair joints and bones
- Oncologic surgeries to remove large or invasive tumors
Surgical specialists follow the same high principles that your primary veterinarian does and understand the importance of communicating with you and the veterinarian who referred your pet for surgery. We are pleased to be able to offer access to several dedicated surgery specialists at Loomis Basin. We are pleased to have two full time board-certified surgeons on staff available for consults and surgeries Monday - Friday. Drs. Mike Dearmin and D.W. Griffin bring with them more than 25 years of surgical experience to Loomis Basin. We also associate with board-certified surgeon, Dr. Phil Vassuer.
