Veterinary Surgery

Evaluating and repairing trauma and treating complex diseases often requires advanced medical equipment and professional expertise that is typically only found in a specialty hospital like ours. The Surgical Department of VESH is headed by Dr. John A. Benson, a board-certified veterinary surgeon specially trained in orthopedic and soft-tissue surgery. Dr. Michele Kudisch joined the VESH Surgical Department in a part-time capacity in February 2019. Depending on your pet's medical concerns, surgery may be the best course of action to keep them healthy. There are a variety of reasons why your pet may need surgery, such as:

• Blockages: If your pet swallows something that they shouldn't and develops a blockage, they may require surgery to remove it.

• Cancer: While not necessary for all types of cancer, surgery may be beneficial for the removal of some or all of your pet's cancerous tumors.

• Injuries: If your pet breaks a bone or has a serious wound, they may require surgery for reconstruction or repair.

Here at Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Hospital, we have skilled surgeons, advanced tools and technologies, and fully equipped surgical suites to assist your pet with any surgical needs they may have. Learn more about the most highly-qualified veterinary surgeons in South Deerfield, MA, below.
