Our practice was built to provide outstanding surgical care. Our lead surgeon, Dr. Grant Jacobson, has been performing orthopedic surgery since 1997. He has advanced training in many surgical techniques and is highly skilled at surgically helping dogs recover from orthopedic injuries and growth abnormalities.
