How to Save on Veterinary Costs at the Veterinary Surgical Referral Center
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.

Dr. Dean and Angela did a very fine job with fixing Dottie, our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel! Thanks to a CCL repair, she is near 100% at 3 1/2 months out! We truly appreciated the personal care, communication, and concern for Dottie, as well as the detailed post-op care and rehabilitation instructions, which really helped with getting a good outcome! Thank you so very much for all that you do! Update 12/2022: Dottie is back to 100%! A fabulous Christmas present, indeed! Thanks again for your fine work!

I would highly recommend Dr. Paul Dean, DVM. My Boxer had a broken pelvis and Dr. Dean was exceptional in kindness and care with my pet. He talked to me about the procedure and showed a sample of the plate used. Before the appointment the cost was discussed and was the cost at completion of surgery. Dr. Dean’s co-worker, Angela greeted me kindly and with the utmost respect. They took great care of me and my pet.

Dr Dean did an excellent job of correcting my Cairn Terrier mix’s luxating patella and also repaired her ACL. We followed his protocols and she healed wonderfully. Due to her age and arthritis, Dr Dean also recommended a regimen of glucosamine injections. These shots have added a real spring to her step. I am very grateful for the talented care provided by Dr Dean and his talented assistant. Note: the price quoted for the procedure was the amount charged. I think the price was very reasonable. My dog is enjoying a great quality of life. Goal achieved!
