How to Save on Veterinary Costs at VetSurg
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I was referred to a Board Certified Ortho Vet because there was suspicions that my Husky Lab tore her ACL and needed a TPLO surgery on her right hind leg. Dr. Joe Sapora did an excellent job examining her. They were very thorough in examining her whole body and made sure both my dog and I were comfortable with the whole process. They explained all the details and their findings in a manner I could understand and always answered any questions I've had. Based on the Drs examination, he believed she might have partially tore the ACL. I ended up going through with the the TPLO surgery and the arthroscopy. My dog is now 2 weeks post op and she has been healing nicely. I ended up driving about 180 miles roundtrip just to do the surgery with them as they are board certified and have great reviews. Every time I call their staff are always so helpful and polite. They even sent my dog a " Get Well" Card after her surgery. Thanks Dr. Sapora and VetSurg team. Will definitely recommend you to others.

This place was great. My cat needed to get a PU surgery done after he was admitted to Horizon. The doctor there checked with VetSurg who were able to squeeze me in. Surgery was much cheaper at VetSurg than it would have been at Horizon so it saved my family a lot of money. Staff have been so great! They have been readily available to answer any and all questions. While I hope your pet doesn't end up needing any procedures done if they do then I highly recommend this location!

Was referred here by my vet in Newbury Park after my Corgi's lameness wasn't improving. Dr. Campbell did the surgery and was extremely knowledgeable in his craft. CT scans showed an incongruity and what turned out to be bone fragments in my dog's front leg joints. They are still observing COVID protocols and do not allow people into their practice; you call and they come out to collect your pup. Kimberly was amazing in our phone call interactions as well as the rest of the staff I dealt with. Waffles was a hit with everyone and it made me feel good to bring my boy there for his procedure. He's now healing at home and I'll be returning again on the 27th to have his staples removed and joints examined. I didn't seek a second opinion but it was a relief to be informed by two well-respected veterinarians that VetSurg IS the second opinion. Their reputation precedes them. I tried calling a couple places in LA and it was a nightmare. Thank you everyone at VetSurg for making this process easier.

So far we have had a great experience with this facility. Very nice accommodating staff. My Belgian Malinoi approves.

Successful TPLO on left knee. Dr and staff were all great. Not cheap, but comparable to the other surgery options. I really like that they hand you a laminated instruction sheet and email you a copy. Set you and your pet on the right path towards recovery and rehab.
