Soft Tissue & Emergency Surgery in Studio City

When your pet needs surgery that isn't about bones or joints, a mass, an abdominal problem, something urgent, our board-certified surgeon handles the complex and the time-sensitive with a clear plan.

Soft tissue surgery covers everything that isn't bone or joint: skin, abdomen, and internal organs. Our board-certified surgeon performs these procedures, including the ones that can't wait, with the same planning and honest communication we bring to everything.

What soft tissue surgery covers

Soft tissue surgery is a broad category, it's essentially every operation that doesn't involve bone or joints. Common reasons pets come to us include:

  • Mass, lump, and tumor removals
  • Abdominal surgery (spleen, bladder, intestinal, and more)
  • Wound repair and reconstructive procedures
  • Skin growths and biopsies
  • Foreign-body removal

Urgent and time-sensitive cases

Some surgeries can be planned weeks out. Others can't. When your primary vet finds something that needs to be addressed soon, we coordinate directly with them and make room for urgent cases whenever we can, so a treatable problem doesn't get worse while you wait.

What makes the difference

Every procedure is performed by a board-certified surgeon, planned with on-site imaging, and explained to you start to finish. You'll never be guessing about what's happening or what it costs. We're in Studio City, an easy reach for pet families across Los Angeles.

What to expect, start to finish

1

Consult & diagnostics

We examine your pet, use on-site imaging to confirm what's going on, and explain the plan and the cost before anything is scheduled.

2

Surgical plan

Your surgeon walks you through the procedure, the risks, and the recovery, so you can make the decision with a full picture.

3

Surgery day

The procedure is performed by our board-certified surgeon under careful monitoring. Most pets go home the same day, with a clear at-home recovery plan.

4

Recovery

We send you home with a clear at-home plan and stay reachable through the healing process.

What about cost?

Surgery cost depends on the procedure, and we'd rather be straight with you than surprise you. You'll get a clear estimate at your consult, and because keeping care reachable is part of our mission, we offer financing so you can move forward now and pay over time.

Common questions

What counts as soft tissue surgery?

Anything that isn't bone or joint, mass and tumor removals, abdominal surgery, wound and skin repair, bladder and intestinal procedures, and more. If your vet has flagged something that needs an operation, we can tell you whether it's in our wheelhouse.

Do you handle emergencies?

We're a surgical hospital that operates by appointment, not a 24/7 walk-in ER. But when your regular vet finds something that can't wait, we make room for urgent cases whenever we can. If your pet is in a life-threatening crisis right now, go to the nearest 24-hour emergency hospital.

How fast can my pet be seen?

We make room for urgent surgical cases whenever we can. Send a consult request describing what's going on and we'll respond with timing.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. We partner with Cherry and CareCredit so you can start treatment now and pay over time. Reducing the cost barrier to care is part of our mission.
