At The Hometown Veterinarian, we are skilled in canine orthopedic surgery

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.

Our veterinarians are here for you and ready to provide excellent surgical care for your dog. Every orthopedic surgery is performed as a laser surgery. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable anesthetic experience and comprehensive pain prevention and management throughout surgery. After surgery, we will include you in a plan to help your dog recover.
