Lameness Evaluations
Not sure why your pet is limping? Dr. Montgomery performs in-depth orthopedic evaluations, including gait analysis, palpation, and digital imaging, to pinpoint the cause and recommend the best path forward.
TPLO Surgery for CCL Tears
Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries are among the most common causes of hind-limb lameness in dogs. Dr. Montgomery offers Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO), a trusted surgical procedure that helps pets regain stability, reduce pain, and return to their active lives.
Fracture Repair
We use state-of-the-art surgical techniques and fixation methods—including bone plates, screws, and external devices—to treat fractures effectively and get your pet back on their feet safely.
Other Orthopedic Procedures
From juvenile growth abnormalities to joint instability and trauma repair, Dr. Montgomery provides personalized surgical and nonsurgical options tailored to your pet’s unique needs.
Compassionate, Specialized Care
Dr. Montgomery brings not only technical excellence but a compassionate approach to every case. Whether your pet was referred by another veterinarian or you’re seeking a second opinion, we’re here to guide you through every step of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
