Van Lue Veterinary Surgical

I had a really great experience with Dr. Stephen Van Lue and staff. I live an hour and a half away in a small town on the east coast and my primary veterinarian wasn’t sure who near us could do this specific surgery and named one local place to look into but I wasn’t impressed with them so I began looking elsewhere and stumbled across Van Lue and was drawn in by their positive reviews, sheer experience, and how they presented themselves on their website with a true caring nature for their patients. My dog is a huge part of our family so I didn’t mind driving the extra miles for care I’m comfortable with and I’m very pleasantly pleased I did. Their facility is beautiful and spotless, I was so impressed by the cleanliness. The entire staff is very friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable as they explained every detail and so much more, and made themselves available to any questions or concerns. They sent me home with folders both times explaining the procedure and his condition as well as very thorough aftercare instructions. My dog ended up having two salivary glands removed and some salivary stones under his tongue, they kept me updated throughout his surgery day which provided me with so much comfort that he was in good hands. He is now running with the wind again and I can’t thank this staff enough for such high-quality care. Can’t recommend this place enough! Pictured is his before and after, he is very proud to be out of the cone and feeling good again.

We are so grateful and thankful to have been referred to Van Lue Veterinary Surgical. From the very first visit they put us at ease and we felt like our fur baby was going to get the best of care. They really take into consideration every aspect of your fur baby’s well being. Awesomely professional and knowledgeable! So if you’re ever in need of medical & surgical care -if you want the best, this is the right place. Thank you again Dr Van Lue & Office staff for your kind deed on Oct 2, 2023. We appreciate it and our fur baby, Sasha does too!

We brought in our dog Comet after an exhausting two months of struggling to find a vet that could handle his hernia repair (without overcharging too). I’m so glad I found Van Lue Veterinary Surgical. Everyone was so kind, knowledgeable and empathetic. Comet’s surgery went very well and we are so grateful. Comet is an extremely nervous patient. A lot of vets in the past have assumed that it’s our fault/that he isn’t trained and haven’t wanted to deal with him. It’s made vet appointments very nerve wracking. Everyone at Van Lue went above and beyond to make Comet comfortable. They showed genuine empathy, concern, and patience with a difficult and nervous patient. Thank you again!!

Van Lue has been amazing to our Bernese mountain dogs. They’ve done 3 CCL repairs and a meniscus repair. Dr Van Lue has always made sure to spend quality time answering all of our questions and explaining every detail of what the operations entailed in order to ease our minds. We had a difficult recovery process with one of our dogs and they constantly moved their schedule around and made accommodations to fit us in. Every single staff member has treated our dogs as if they were our own. You can really tell that anybody who works here is a true animal lover. I’m grateful to have found both Dr Van Lues and would highly recommend you bring your pet here for any kind of ortho injury.

I had a wonderful experience here. I went in thoroughly expecting to be pressured into surgery for my elderly dog. Instead, I was greeted with a thorough explanation of his injuries and realistic expectations of the risks/benefits of surgery and the others options available. The doctor spend a long time in the room with me explaining everything in great detail, answering all of my questions, and making me and my dog feel like a priority. I was expecting the cost to be very expensive, but it really wasn't more than a normal vet visit would have been. I highly recommend this place.
