We brought our dog Quinn in for TPLO surgery following a CCL tear. I had decided this was our surgery team based on the first call with Tori and Tina. I am quite the anxious dog owner and they responded to me with such care and detail. Then with meeting the surgery team they walked through every detail before and after surgery. The way they got down and sat on the floor with Quinn while they spoke with me. The affection they showed him made me know he was in good hands. We are now finishing up recovery. Quinn is back to 2 mile walks a day (8 weeks post op) and just received his all clear to resume normal activity. I cannot thank this amazing staff enough. Thank you for giving our pup his quality of life back!

Coming in with a ruptured acl was our worst case scenario. I called a few outpatient clinics and Animal Outpatient Surgery of SD was the most responsive, educational, and cost effective. We knew exactly what we were getting. The recovery period is inherently hard, especially with active dogs. We were given very clear instructions on what’s expected and what we needed to focus on at each stage of the recovery. What’s great is when we notified the team of additional redness/swelling, we were able to text a picture and received instant feedback and correction suggestions. We will likely need to go the other leg… and will definitely come here if needed. Our dog is now recovered, living his best life again. Thank you!

Our seven-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever needed TPLO surgery, and the entire experience, from consultation to recovery, was outstanding. The staff were incredibly professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. They took the time to walk us through the procedure, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. The clinic itself is spotless and well-equipped, which added to our peace of mind. The surgery went smoothly, and the post-op care has been exceptional. They provided detailed recovery instructions, followed up regularly, and were always available when we had concerns. Thanks to their expertise and attentive care, our dog is now well on her way to a full recovery. Highly recommend them to anyone needing surgical care for their animal.

All of the staff at this facility are very pet oriented. It was difficult accepting that our pet needed TPLO knee surgery. Dr. Farrell explained the surgery in terms that we would totally understand what he would do to repair her knee. Very impressed with all layers of the staff there. We just got her clearance from her surgery. Very close to being like new again. I highly recommend this facility for surgeries your pet may require. Dr. Farrell and all of his staff are very compassionate and caring and competent to help your little fur balls get better.
