Their caseload encompasses patients with a wide range of orthopedic, neurologic, oncologic (cancer), thoracic, and soft tissue problems. They are available for surgery, consultation, assistance with difficult surgical cases, or when the use of specialized surgical equipment or techniques are required. Their combined efforts allow them to confer on patient management, to be readily available for trauma or other emergency referrals, and to further expand their own surgical subspecialties. Their practice is equipped with the latest specialized instrumentation and equipment. The safest anesthetic agents are used, and patients are continuously monitored throughout anesthesia. Experienced, registered veterinary technicians and a well trained technical support staff play a key role in periperative intensive care. Patient care is provided 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.

Utilization of the personnel and resources of Gulf Coast Veterinary Surgery, Orthopedics & Neurology allows the family veterinarian to provide these services that may otherwise be difficult or impractical to offer.
