SURGICAL SERVICES

Acacia Animal Health Center offers comprehensive surgical services for your dog and cats as well as bird and other exotic animal companions. Joining our team, with his years of expertise in the field, is Board Certified Surgeon Dr. Dennis Aron, DVM, DACVS. Dr. Aron is Chief of Surgery at Acacia, and has over thirty years experience teaching and practicing in the field of specialty surgery. Working closely with his wife Rainy Aron, RVT, the two combine a unique approach to specialty surgical care which includes Coaching - a unique rehabilitation and aftercare program.

Coming to us as a part of Fido's Surgeon, the Aron's and the doctors here at Acacia work together to offer complete pre and post operative care programs for your pet. The post-operative part of this partnership program is called “Coaching.” Coaching involves creating and implementing a personalized post-surgical plan tailored specifically for the individual patient. This plan also includes developing “hands on” rehabilitation techniques that can be taught to the owner, who can then apply the techniques to the patient at home on a daily basis under our guidance and support.

The key to the Coaching program is communication. Coaching involves continuous dialogue with the owner -- we encourage questions and then listen to feedback as we carefully monitor the patient’s progress through the stages of recovery. Along with frequent physical evaluations, we also provide education and post-surgical support. Our goal is to work closely with the owner on a continuous basis so they can make informed decisions about their pet’s surgery and feel competent while administering any post-operative care that may be required once their pet goes home.

We at Acacia, in conjunction with Fido’s Surgeon, are proud to offer you this unique approach to specialty surgery and aftercare. Our system promises to:

*Help reduce the risk of specialty surgery
* Maximize the comfort and recovery process for the patient
* Allow the pet owner to participate in the rehabilitation process
*Maintain frequent and open communication with the pet owner throughout all the stages of recovery

If your pet requires specialty surgery, we hope you will consider Acacia Animal Health Center and the excellent programs we can offer your pet to improve quality of life, healing and well-being.
